All are invited to join in the 'trading' whether new to butterfly gardening or experienced, whether ignorant about seed collecting or savvy to all the skills.

The point of the thread is to introduce others to the fun and satisfaction of Butterfly Gardening, to improve our own gardens and our knowledge of butterflies, and to have some fun!

The usual seed trading courtesies will be expected. (I am not sure what they are, but I am sure others will tell you!)

If you have questions, please ask them on our discussion thread http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/656598/ and keep your posts here to the absolute minimum. If you want to set up details of a trade, please send a D-mail.

This thread is for stating your HAVES and WANTS.

This trade thread is for seeds/cuttings of butterfly HOST plants only. (We will trade nectaring plant seeds later this season.) If you are not familiar with Butterfly HOST plants, check out this Host plant list compiled by Larry Gene for Garden Web's FAQ. http://davesgarden.com/journal/d/t/tabasco/4450/ . ( Host plants are the particular plants that a butterfly species will use to lay eggs on and where the caterpillers will feed. If you have the right host plants in your garden many beautiful butterflies will call your garden home.)

So let's get started!
