Oh, I get seeds from where ever I can get them from, friends, gardens, country, swaps, rare seed sites. I love seeds. I started a sago palm three years ago from a seed, gave the plant away at second year, they grow so big in their climate, stay inside it can't. I grew two coral trees from seeds, gave them away last year, one was four years old, the other was just a year old. They went south , too, since they grow as big as an elm tree, can't keep it in the basement. I have a clerodendrum I grew from seed. My tropicals seem to make seeds. Even the Hibiscus make at least one seed pod for me. Desert rose gave me two seed pods this year, she is a succulent.
I like to grow from seeds, but I give things away if I can't keep them down stairs. I have enough tropicals to re-furbish a couple of DG'rs who had to lose their plants to make life changes, I hope to get them going again. I grew a heavenly bamboo from seed, and a couple caudex morning glorys.
Challenge is the game, while curiosity keeps me entertained. The reward of life brought about is a sweet reward. I feel like a plant's "parent" when successful.
I'm going to try growing the two different cacti seed pods I got while in texas, they are in a red clay dish on top of the old very warm refrigerator drying out in a napkin.

I would send anyone seeds, if they want them, have offered, no takers so far...my "have" list is not updated.
Have a great night! Lookit this dang ZZ plant going crazy and making new branches inside. second pic is a pot of random seeds I had in a bag. Tonight I sorted about 3000 mg seeds, separated the i nils from the i purps, got out all double stuck together seeds, and all really flat deflated seeds. Now I'm gonna soak those for two days and see what they look like.
