    Hi All
    Can someone tell me if I can use the seeds from the large pod which has grown on my died down tulip flower or should I let it just brown off and only save the bulb.

    I don't think the seeds from your seed pods will 'come true' (duplicate the original flower). The plant is putting ooodles of work into making seeds, I should dead head the flowers so the strength goes into the bulb for next year.

    Cheers, Tony.
