I've got some seeds left from last year too, which should be perfectly viable, but I figured we were sticking to "fresh" seeds for this swap.

Does anybody want or need Echinacea? I think most of my coneflowers are basic purple, might be some pinkish ones in the mix, but I'm not sure which is which... so nothing exotic, but still a nice flower if you're not already overrun with them.

I've got one that I'd like to include because it blooms all summer long and is very cottage-y... but I don't know exactly what it is. I believe it's some type of perennial helianthus, but all I know for sure is that it is not "Chocolate Daisy" (Berlandiera lyrata)... the blooms are very similar, but it grows to 3 feet in height, has different leaves, and doesn't smell like chocolate. Last year, I sent out seed packets lableled "Too Tall To Be Chocolate Daisy" (but I don't know what it is). It does bloom the first year from wintersown seed, and everybody who got seeds or plants from me seemed to love it this summer.
