Harvesting seeds from Small partridge pea (Chamaecrista nictitans) is fun! When ripe, the pods will pop, so its best to do this where they can be contained. It tends to grow on drier soils and I think this is one showy little plant, especially en masse. These seeds are destined for a dry, roadside planting where they will help prevent erosion and support myriad other organisms. This species is native to North, Central, and South America.
