I started harvesting my seeds this afternoon. 2 hours in and one small seed stalk later and I'm nearly going blind collecting them individually with a tooth pick! What's the best way to get the maximum number of seeds with the minimum effort?

OHHHH poor Kate's eyes. I cannot answer your question but I do hope someone else can help you.

Here you go Kate, the post where Kevin told us how to do it. http://garden.org/thread/view_...
In this thread. The thread "When to cut seed stalks?" in Sempervivum forum

Thanks for the link Lynn, looks like I'm being too fussy lol

Here's what I have so far all are from an Arach Mum and insect pollenated so could be from any of my other plants.

Don't sneeze...

Sneeze? I hardly dared to breathe collecting these!

You are so bad T-rev. When I read your post I felt a great urge to sneeze.
That would sure be a disaster.

Wow Kate, that is some clean looking seeds, and a bunch of them at that.

So glad to have this posted from pre-parent plant, to bloom, seed and beyond!! How exciting
