Mexican mint marigold seeds

I find collecting seeds very satisfying. Witnessing nature first hand and the promise each seed holds for tomorrow makes me happy. Clockwise from left, dried Mexican mint marigold flowers, empty sepal, petals, and precious seeds.

This Mexican marigold smells like licorice and I've read most people can't distinguish it from tarragon.
