Darce I planted some Lauren's Grape poppy seed a week ago. I bet you have have some beautiful colors, selected over the years. Pictures? I've been saving Alstroemeria seeds for several years, and have had great success germinating them. It's so much fun to see a flower that no one in the world has. Right now I've got several baggies of seeds getting their 3-4 week moist warm treatment, that will be followed by 3 weeks refrigerator treatment(in the butter compartment), then they are back to room temperature. As the seeds sprout they will have their own 4" pot. A few years ago it was exciting to germinate succulent seeds I'd collected from various areas in California, as well as seed from my own blooming succulents. The variety of forms and colors was so fascinating. I've collected spores and grown birds nest fern. So, if a plant sets seed, I've likely collected it. I love to try new varieties of flowers and vegetables, however when I purchase seeds, I lean toward hybrids that have superior disease resistance. I do not like the hassle of plant diseases! I almost forgot, I got inspired to grow some rose seeds a few weeks ago. Those seeds are currently outside shooting for the "alternating temps of 50 to 86 degrees", per instructions found in my ancient(1975) "Plant Propagation principles and practices" textbook. Can you tell I get excited about growing seeds?
