I think those are flowers. Seeds to follow. I don’t know how big the seeds will be (whether they’re bigger than dust, etc) but I once read about catching seed from flowers by securing something under the flower (like maybe muffin cup papers). But that’s if the seed tends to fall from plants instead of staying attached, floating in the wind, or exploding all directions like projectiles, etc.

Looks like she’s happy if she’s producing that! WTG ☺️
