I would love to collect the seeds of my hepaticus, shooting star, pussytoes, plumaria, and epimedium. I can't see using bags since the plants are so small. What's the best way to collect them so I can sow them at a later date?

I've never tried this, but it's how I'd try it first.

Bag the whole little plant with a pantyhose toe. Tie it at the base of the plant and just hope some of the seeds will fall in the bag. Tie tight enough to keep it from blowing off the plant but loose enough that you don't pinch off the stem.

It's something I've wondered about myself, but never actually tried..so it might not work...but you won't know unless you try.

Thanks for the suggestion, Melody. I will try it with a couple of plants. I'll keep you posted.
