I can only assume it's a legacy of previous owners lack of attention and they're emerging from various nooks and crannies of the ventilation system/ducts as they slowly dry out.

I had a look under the bonnet today, which all appears bone dry, and noticed some of these seeds on the underside of the mesh grille over the ECU area; cabin air is drawn up through that to the filter in the bonnet.
The filters themselves are fairly clean (quite new) with no seeds visible on them so I guess they're trapped under the perforated cover.
I just blew through the mesh and a whole cloud of the damned things jetted out from the sides of the cover and thankfully blew away in the breeze.
Clearly there are still some hidden away under there; I'm guessing when the scuttle drains were blocked they overflowed into the car and the condenser tray, blocking that in turn.
Come the spring I'm going to get access to an airline and blast them all to hell!
