i posted this in perennials, only because i hadn't noticed this section! so, to repeat myself...
i planted hummingbird and butterfly mixes in window boxes this year and they are great, and still blooming (i swear they're 'time release' because i have the same types blooming now, that had back in june and are long dried!) anyhoo...the packages said some are annuals and some perennials...they're all very light, delicate flowers so i can't quite tell 'what is seed'. should i cut each one off at the base when it's finished and shake it over a piece of paper? lol...it's the only idea i've come up with so far!
any suggestions?

You question is rather tough to answer. You have to collect seeds differently depending on the plant. Some don't set seed at all. Can you describe the plant(s) or maybe a picture of the blooms?
