Looks like I've got some lavender and some magenta gomphrena that I could include... they're cottage-y, right? The colors are about the same as those in the first 2 pics on the PF page, http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/222/

I'll check for zinnia seeds next week, but it looks like mine are still blooming... should be some out there, though!

I'll see if I can get some seeds from my Wishbone Flower (Torenia fourneiri, from Burpee's 'Happy Faces' mix). It may be too late to tell which ones had the blue flowers, though, so you might end up with a mix of blue, purple, and a few pink. The seeds are teensy (commercial ones are usually pelleted -- and quite pricey), and they need to be started a good 10 weeks ahead if you want buds by the time you set them out. They do really well in moist shade... I have them under a bench by my front walk.
