Can you get seeds from cut flowers?

I have a lot of cut flowers from a funeral and I would like to save as many as I can. Is it possible to save any of the flowers?

Can you get seeds from cut flowers?
No, you can't get seeds from cut flowers. The flower must stay on the plant for it to mature into seeds. Once a flower is cut, that's it, the only thing that will happen is it will die. Sorry. The only thing that I can suggest is find out what kind of flowers they are and buy the seeds in the store.
Reply:Well, you could press the flowers or hang them upside down for a few days----- they will not wilt too much that way, and you can keep them pretty much forever. If you still want to use the seeds, though, then of course you can plant them. Just make sure you know the correct soil to use, the right amount of water, the right temperatures and light levels, and all of that good stuff!
Reply:Yes, but let them go to seed before you cut them. Cut heads off and shake into a paper envelope. Never store seeds in plastic
