As a previous poster said, the sure way is to wait for seeds to develop. The
ovaries will turn brown and gradually split open. The ovaries' husk is tough
& brittle, almost like a nutshell, and when you snap it off you'll find
(hopefully) a lot of brown seeds roughly 2mm across and triangular in shape.
You may have to wait until fall for this to happen, so be patient.
Good luck
Philip
