What from I have read, Florence fennel is mainly used as a vegetable(the 
bulb) and common fennel is grown for the seed.  Obviously, during the 
time it takes to produce seed, the bulb would become more woody, but 
assuming that one did not harvest Florence fennel for the bulb, would 
the seed be of the same flavor, nutritional value, and quantity as the 
seed from common fennel?  It would seem to me to be the same, but since 
I haven't grown it, I thought I would make sure I wasn't missing something.

not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius 
will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the 
world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone 
are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve 
the problems of the human race"
