CLOSED: Seed Junkie Chit Chat - Newbies Welcome 8/25/09

I'm thinking that there should be way more bids coming in. Guess I better go thru my stashes and yard and see what I can come up with. I don't mind coming in second! LOL!

may be you'll have "snipers" at the last minute.

Got all of my trades planted/potted/rooted today... It's going to be a beautiful spring! Thanks to all my DG friends, of course ;-) The windowsills just don't stand a chance around here, lol..

That is great Mechelle. Don't forget pictures when they bloom.

Think I'm going to turn in you guys. Talk tomorrow. Good night all.

Well I would put in a bid but just got thru packing up everything I have extra to send to arejay for the newbies. All that I bid with in the iris auction went in the pkg so I have nothing much left.

Good morning -afternoon to you guys. I think Cue has been teaching the newbies some of her tricks.hehehe Skellog and Mechelle are in a bidding war on the auction war, I mean thread. I'm loving it.

Not a war, just friendly competition... ;-)

Hehehehahaha, this is just like old times.


Edited to say:

Remember CUE ???

Hi all my seedy peeps! Hope you're all having a fabulous day! Been really busy with work and the kiddies going back to school this week, so haven't been on much.

loca (impatiently waiting for Friday to get here - lol)

You guys! My mail just came and look what I got. I almost had a heart attack. I didn't know it was coming! SO rare a find. WOW! Amorphophallus paeoniifolius
Elephant foot yam

Question for all of you that have tried ca poppies. Is it better to send seeds or plants? I have both, and mine reseed no problem, so am not worried about running out! LOL!

Wow Mekos!! What a cool plant!!!!

Yea Seray, may be one for you if they can be seperated. Two are close nit at the bottom. They were pretty wilted but look to be in great shape. When it's a little cooler, I'll re pot them and seperate them so you can have one. Going to watch for a little bit and see that they do ok. They weren't in dirt just wrapped with wet towel and so they got to rehydrate.

Mekos! You are a generous friend. Let that cutie grow and grow. We'll work a deal when it gets lots of babies. I may have to go to Thailand and load up. :)

He sent me 3 but two are joined at the root system and I just want to be sure they make it, but one is definately yours. Just waiting to let them rehydrate. Maybe the weather will go to 70's and 80's soon and stay long enough to ship. I can't wait for you to get this one.

LOL.. mekos.. if i had seed to bid, I'd be riiight int he middle of that battle!

I've been looking for seed. I'll keep trying. :) We'll sprout a Amorph if I can find some. The only ones so far are the Pink Devil's Tongues that I'm sprouting with the Brugs. They're cool.

Here is my son's grandma with this one before she died with cancer about 3 years ago.

I have several of these I might could be persueded to part with one for something VERY special.

I love that picture Mekos. It reminds you that generations of people from all over the world have shared the same passion as you. Kinda cool.

Thanks Seray. She was a sweet lady. I gave her, her first candy lily and she gave me my first cobra lily. That one. I sowed seeds for this one- whip cord lily. It is also a cobra lily. Amorphophallus.

Cue, you might want to be hunting some seeds or cuttings or something pretty special for tonights surprise. Get ready, 8:00pm will be here soon.

I like that Elephant foot yam & the Pink Devil's Tongues & of course that cobra lily...
They are all awesome.

Leave your checkbook at home when you go to that guys place Friday Rhonda. I think he grows some Amorphs! LOL

Oh dear I may get into trouble going there. LOL

Hello All... those are some unusual, but very neat flowers...

flowerfantasy, Thank you so much for the broms. They look so healthy...

They are neat. I collect unusual things. LOL

Did I remember to tell you guys I got a bag full of the dutchman's pipe today too? Aristolochia elegans to be exact. LOTS of them.

Who can tell me how to collect hollyhock seeds? Maybe you Hollyhocklady? Need to know where to find the seed pods, etc. Thanks!

You got these to? WOW you sure are making me want want want..... LOL

Another strange looking flower, Jan. What's up with you and all these strange looking flowers - lol?????

After the flowers die you will see the green circle pods on them. Wait till they turn a tan color & they will come right off. You will have lots of seeds in the pod.

Now is a good time to plant hollyhocks if you want to see blooms next summer :-)

Cool! Thanks! I don't have any planted now, but the house on the corner, (empty and for sale) has quite a few, and there are also a bunch growing in the alley behind the grocery store. Guess I'll have to take the dog for a walk! LOL!

You go girl, they may be needed for tonights surprise. Go walk that dog and take a baggie with you , several ,for different things you might find out there.

Yep, she needs to lose about 5 lbs. anyway! Not to mention how much good it might do me, LOL! S'pose I might find some I might want to keep for myself, even. But if there's alot in a pod, there should be enough for both the newbies and me!
