Great idea on using paper bags to collect the seeds, Shelly. It works great for Echinacea and other flowers you want to dry for their seeds. Those little lunch bags are the perfect size for sticking a bundle of flower stems in then tying up and hanging up side down. The flower heads dry and the seeds fall into the bags for easy collection.
Regarding the tomato seeds in the previous pic I posted, each plate is a different variety. After they are fermented I dry them on a paper (wax coated ) plate so I can write directly on the plate the harvest info (variety, date, etc). Soon I'll be putting these in their individual coin envelopes. All seeds except a select few of each variety for backup stock will go to Carolyn Male who in turn will list them in Seed Savers Exchange.
I'm good at saving veggie seeds but still learning the best ways to save flower seeds so will have to rely on ya'll for tips and tricks along those lines. So far I find it easy and enjoyable saving Moonvine seeds (not to be confused with "moon flower"), melampodium, Tithonia, Echinacea, various herbs, etc.
