    Anyone know what these are?

    I took them from some plants in my sisters garden hoping they might contain seeds that I can put in my garden.

    These three I didn't label. What are they? and do they contains seeds?

    Thanks

    #1 looks like Aquilegia, but may be a related plant
    #2 is Meconopsis cambrica

    None of them look ripe yet - I doubt you'll get any viable seed out of them.

    I'd not bother. Ask if you can collect some more when the pods turn from green to brown, and just starting to split open at the tips. Maybe your sister can keep an eye on them to let you know when they start doing so.

    Open them up to see if seeds are brownish and mature or nearly so inside.
