That's a huge advantage! Thank you. I think I'm going to try it your way.
I save envelopes from junk mail and bills for drying seeds, but they take up room, and they can flop over and spill if I'm not careful.
The easiest plant to collect seeds from that I ever saw was a pacific Giant Delphinium. It had saucer-like pods that held seeds forever. I just waited until it rattled when I brushed against it, then put a big cardboard box beside the plant. Then I tilted the spikes over until the mature, completely dry, completely clean seeds poured out.
(I don't have any photos of the dry spikes.)
