Hi Sharon, Here is a couple good sites to help you.

Thank you! Sharon

your very welcome.

Wow thats a big question!

Which plants are you trying to collect seeds from? Each plant is slightly different!

This might sound really really dumb, but it wouldn't be the first time! LOL
For instance, flowers, take amaryllis. Can these be started by seed (using the anther) instead of buying bulbs? I was told it could be done, but I'm not so sure...

The dumb question are the best....... means i might be able to answer them Lol

I have heard you can use amarylis seed but the ones i have never get pollinated to be able to set seeds. The seed pod swells behind the flower once pollination has taken place. Once it dries it splits open and the seeds are inside.

Mike

Ahhha! It's NOT the anther, humph.....
Okay, what about geraniums?
