CLOSED: What Are You Willing To Trade For It? *Seed Auction* # 6
helloooooo.. is no one wanting this spectacular collection of SEEDS????? C'mon peoples... get that shoebox of extra seeds out ( yes you.. you know who you are1) and start bidding!!!!!
ahem.. i might add that this would be an excellent assortment of seed should one be inspired to start their very own 'Goth Garden"....
I'll bid a dozen gladiola bulbs-red.
OH, I forgot, I can't bid. BUT will add them as surprise # 1.
Howdy folks! They must all be asleep. If I could grow all that exotic stuff like y'all can, I'd be bidding for sure! Maybe they'd bid if you add a few - ahem - black bat flowers.
well, perhaps if we can scrounge up some actual bidders, i may just throw in a pack of brown batflower seeds... ahem
Well, keep in mind that most of the seeds will go to the newbies so it is still for a good cause and LOOK at all the SEEDS, BULBS AND PLANTS you will be getting. Man, I thought people would love to get a start on a Halloween garden.
Oooooooh. I had no idea that bat flowers come in brown, too. Just like real bats. Veeery exciting.
Problem for me is, if I bid and win, I'd have to buy a greenhouse to put them in, and then I'd have to buy some sunny property to put the greenhouse on. Of course, I could always move waaay south, instead. hmmmm.
No the others can go out in the yard and the bat flower can go inside the house to look at all winter. Bat flower come in white, black, green and brown. You could always trade this stuff off for other stuff that is hardy for you.
Mekos there is a purple bat flower too! Almost bought it but decided it was too much for just 3 seed, and I would probaly need more than 3 seed to even get one to start.
C'mon people! I know that there are a lot of you who can grow this stuff in your yards, unlike us northerners! But, there is echies, petunias (in pots next spring), and alliums that will grow for us. Don't think I won't go out and snoop thru town again for seeds! There are plenty of yards I haven't hit yet.
Sorry mekos, but none of your fabulous list is hardy here, or I'd be growing some of them.
Happy snooping, skellogg! Isn't it fun?
Hey, I want them! Here's my bid:
5 Surprise Lily bulbs
5 Daylily Fans, Kwanso
10 Bearded Iris rhizomes, unknown cultivar,
5 Rose of Sharon "Minerva" seeds
5 Rose of Sharon "Blue Satin" seeds
10 Hollyhock seeds, assorted
1 pkg (about 20) Columbine seeds "McKana's Giant" (from my garden)
5 Texas White Star Hibiscus seeds
1 pkg of 5 Tiger Lily Bulbils (from my garden)
5 Sunflower seeds "Girasol"
Turks Cap vine cutting
Rose of SHaron "Freedom" cutting
Variegated Vinca vine cutting
5 Daylily Bulbs, unknown cultivar
5 Hardy Hibiscus seeds (from my garden)
10 Morning Glory seeds "Grandpa Ott"
A nice pinch of Purple Coneflower seeds
Cutting or bulbs from Maiden Grass
1-5 Canna Lily bulbs
Cutting or bulbs of Reed Grass
Cutting or bulbs of Variegated Reed Grass
Let me add a big hug for the nice person who doesn't bid against me with their arsenal of seed and/or other firepower.. ;-) HAGD
mekos, finally some true appreciation for your goodies! I knew it would come.
You go Mechelle! Awesome bid!
Can I bid just for the suprise lilies Mechelle has? LOL
I must say.. a couple store bought plastic Halloween Cauldrons, planted with trailing purple, black and red petunias in it would make an excellent Halloween decoration on someones front door step.. dont you?
Quite beautiful Cue!
OH Mechelle, That sounds great! You have a terrific list. These seeds, bulbs and plants would love your new lasagna beds. Good luck!
This is going to be a great big nice bunch of stuff for a whole Halloween garden. More surprises in stock for later on. This is one auction I think everyone will wish they had gotten. Back later.
Im telling ya.. now is the time of year to get those plastic cauldrons.. plastic pumpkins and decorate for Halloween.. so so many ideas can be accomplished with the right plants!
Dmail Me Flower!!!
If I win this, I will do a lasagna bed somewhere just for these seeds/plants and I will call it my "Goth Garden" >:-)
Copy cat :P ROTFL
LOL Pfff LMAO
There might be some plastic halloween cauldrens in the box-you never know! Lots of surprises and the winner must come to our chat thread and tell what all they got since after all, it's a "surprise ".
i thknk everyone should have a 'Goth garden' bed in some dark corner of their garden...LOL
spoken from a true Goth girl, I hear LOL
Here is another surprise pack of seeds added to the original auction offer.
Saritaea magnifica.
mekos, what it the common name for that?

Ok thats not what I thought. I saw a plant this morning on ebay and it looked just like that. Don't remember the name but that wasn't it.
OOowww, maybe I need to hide the credit cards and go to e-bay.
LOL. your funny mekos.
I love eBay.. we bought our house on eBay!
Really ? I would be afraid to try that. I would be so afraid of losing all my money.
We flew out and looked at it before we bid.. It was fun
I can't hardly imagine buying a home on ebay. LOL
I can't either but weird places popped up here. Pan your vehicle. But you take them the title and they give you a loan I never heard of such a thing. They are actually buildings like a pawn shop. I heard interest is 35%
I would be afraid of buying a house on ebay too.
more like 200% interest. and, If you dont pay the loan off in the ugreed upon time frame, they keep your car as well. Those types of places are now illegal here in FL, too many people were taken advantage of and their cars taken from them, that finally FL Govt did something about it.

I think all those kind of places should be illegal. even the ones that loan you money for your next pay check. So many people are getting in to trouble with those places and they just keep getting deeper in and can't get out.
I agree, flower. There is nothing good that can come from that. IMHO, it is just another form of greed. I think it is wrong for anyone to make money by taking advantage of someone else's hardships. Not what I think our "Free" country should be about at all.
