I regret that picture qualities are not good due to low light at the time of recording. My next target is its seeds. Very nice, good ambition to try and get the seeds to photograph… Thank you Madam for the information. I also heard stories of using those seeds to eliminate someone in older days. I would also like to inform you that I have collected seeds of cockscomb but yet to be photographed.
