UPDATE JANUARY 20, 2022 So my biologist friend Sam Kieschnick happened to see this post and sent me some thoughts....
"Gosh," he wrote, "I hate to tell you this, but you just collected the males! The females are the ones that produce the seeds. Here's what those look like. The males have the flag-like flowers. If you don't see any buffalograss germinating in that spot, it's because those were all boys. The female flowers are close to the ground."
As always, thanks, Sam!

Black aphids, how interesting--Always something new to discover! I hope the buffalo grass seed work for you. I always have problems with heavy spring rains washing my seeds away...which is why I usually rely on plants, though a more expensive option...
It’ll be interesting to see what happens. We had pretty thick fog this morning; hence, there was some moisture on the ground. Something to help the seeds stick. LOL!
