Thanks, Jill---
I copied out your Post and will try to contact these two people.

Cat--

I will put you down for your requests. All these seeds will be available in my
envelopes in my Box. Take all you want!
Or--Do you want me to drop a couple packets in your "baggie"?
Jill always has baggies with everyone's names on them.
Many people just drop the requested seeds in the baggie of the one asking for them.

Now--re my seeds of Hirta "Indian Summer"...

These seeds came from a bouquet (of said Hirta) that Karen brought me
the first time she came over. When the flowers in the vase dried up--
I gathered the seeds from them. This may not be a "natural" harvesting of seeds.

You are welcome to any I have--but maybe Karen would be a better source--as hers
would have come from the plants withering in a natural way in her garden.

And--you DO know that Rudbeckia Hirta is a biennial. The seeds will come up
in the fall and not bloom until the following year or two. I will give you loads--so some of
them will have a chance of making it...

There will also be seeds in my stash from another Rudbeckia Hirta that grew in my garden
a couple years ago (2011). It is also yellow--but a double...
I am hoping (again) that i can have this in my beds.
I will put some baggies of these in your bag as well... These are also available in my Box.
