I need to learn how and when to harvest seeds. I have lots of plants I could pull seeds from, but sometimes dont know what the seeds look like for that particular plant or when they are ready.
For me, Prairie Moon nursery has become a great place to look at photos of seeds. I wish I had looked at it before tossing many of the Beardtongue seeds thinking the insides of the pod had rotted or something.

Here is another site I use... maybe there is one for Texas specifically?

Agreeing very much with Gardengus, get your photos of the seeds onto the data base. :D I think I was able to add ten photos of seeds because of the swap. Besides getting acorns, it will help others when they need to know what seeds look like.
Though not pertaining to the swap itself, try to get photos of the seedlings when they emerge. That really is invaluable for native plants, in particular, because there are not many images around. AND a big thing I learned this year... seedling leaves may not look like the mature leaves at all.
