This is one that is newly blooming. I labeled it Midnight Picotee.

Mind you ..... I very well may have made a mistake here or there when labeling, so bare with me! And I believe most of these were open pollination ..... Emma? So what they are labeled and how they actually turn out may be two different things!

Karen - Thanks! Yes .... this is TOTALLY a trial and error for me. Enjoy your trading today!

My goal is to grow out all the different seeds I have received from the kind folks here! I have my fingers crossed that they ALL put out LOTS of seeds. I want to try growing more of the same next Spring. After these 20 expire, I plan to plant new and different seeds/cultivars in their place. You know .... when you get hooked on MGs ..... you can NEVER try enough! LOL! I grow them strictly for the sheer joy and beauty of each and every one! And I am open to trades on those I get seeds from for seeds I don't yet have. (Though Emma gets first dibs because of her kindness in sharing with me... As does a couple other folks here!) I'm not a seller or a buyer.

And I do plan to turn some locals onto MGs, too! In my little town, I have a feeling most folks don't even think of MGs at all! It's more like Palm Trees, St. Augustine grass, and Oak Trees. No colors! Green, green, and more green ..... :-( I also garden for butterflies and hummers. Along with other creatures! (Some good and some not so good.) Living in Florida I am able to grow some great plants along with TOO MANY weeds! LOL! I try to garden without the use of pesticides. (Though sometimes I just have to break out a bottle of "poison"!)

I am a new gardener and am having a ball growing some really beautiful garden beds and vines! Most of my yard garden plants were from seed trades right here on DG!!! That membership was the best investment I have made in a long, long time!!!! What a payback!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!
