Mary, I do the same thing with my poppy seeds. I don't save much else other than some nasturtium seeds from a dark colored one I like. But I have probably 20+ packets of seeds from all sorts of opium poppies (breadseed? are they the same?). Mostly lavender, red, pink, dark purple and such. Much fewer white and black. I put a bout 1/8tsp each in tiny zip locks and gave to the botanical garden to sell in the spring. They get several dollars for them and sold out of the black ones last year. Not really black, just looks that way from certain angles; really just a really dark purple.
Got the bucket of lily bulbs that I almost pitched layered in soil in a cardboard box and then in a 13 gallon garbage bag then out the back door. I was told they would make it through the winter. What the heck I am going to do with them come spring, I have no idea. They vary from the size of a large plum down to a thumb nail. From the colors I suspect some of them are quite pretty remembering the lilies I have had planted near where they got dug up. Problem is that as I dug them they all went into one bucket. I tried to keep them apart but then gave up. I am sure if they survive some won't bloom next year but many will. So I will keep those and pitch the rest. I am soooo done for the year. Well, except for buying seed after the first of the year for vegies and a few annual flowers.
