>> little 3-oz Dixie cups for collecting seeds.
I guess you pick pods by hand? I recently "harvested" a huge Pacific Giant Delphinium with 12-14" flower spikes using the biggest tray I could find, a big plastic litter-box. Even so, I spilled a lot of seeds, some in my hair. That plant is TALL! I didn't mind losing some seeds, becuase I wound up with 24 teaspoonsfull (teasponnfulls?) of seeds! A half-cup!
Anyone want lots of very fresh light blue & light purple Pacific Giant Delphinium seeds? "Bee Larkspur".
It's like pastel stained glass when the sun is behind it.
The seed was Botanical Interests Heirloom #1014, self-pollinated. This is the first generation in my garden, just one plant. so I doubt it cross-pollinated with anything else. I'm eager to see what the F2 color range from just one parent will be, when the seeds were an OP strain to start with. But It's so big, I don;t have room for more than one plant! They say it is a short-lived perennial in some areas, but this is my third yhear and it's bigger each year.

>> small seeds in glassine envelopes
I find it hard to get dust-like seeds out of ANYthing! But glassine is easier than plastic. Someone said that you can kill the "static levitation" of seeds in plastic Zip-Locs by wiping the OUTSIDE of the Zip-Loc with a clothes-dryer anti-cling sheet before opening the Zipo-Loc.
But I don't own any dryer sheets
