It was cute the way he convinced me. "You know I have two days before I have to go to school again......and you have a toothbrush for me...... and you could wash my underwear." ....."So think I could spend the night?"
Who could say no to such a mapped out plan? LOL!
Texas Wildscape Native Seed Trade Thread
I received my mail order seeds and have a question. Some of the packets indicate that they do not need winter stratification and can be sown on warm soil. Can I go ahead and winter sow those also? The ones that don't need a chill are harebell, plains coreopsis, sedum pulchellum and globe mallow (says sow at 40F soil).
Cheryl
I would plant half the seed now and half in the spring and see what works out best.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is everyone getting ready for trading tomorrow? This should be very exciting and hopefully we all will benefit.
Josephine.
Now I don't want anyone to get mad LOL but I am posting my wants now. My list is above and I probably have 2 instead of one of many of those things listed but I am being a bit conservative. Many of those plants will be new for me so I cannot tell you about their growing conditions. All are native and most are not listed to be invasive. The pearly everlasting is sometimes listed as invasive so keep that in mind.
purple leather leaf (clemetis) - Frostweed
Damantia - DFW Dennis
Ruellia nudiflora - Allwild
American beauty berry - Allwild
Cheryl
Ok, since Cheryl started it.... :)
wafer ash - redbirdlady
prairie nymph - frostweed
hedgehog cactus - frostweed
seedbox - allwild
Dennis
O.K. guys, I was going to start a new thread, and put the links to the trade lists on it, should I do it?
I think it would be easier to keep track of trades that way.
Please advise was was going to do it now, but I will wait till I hear from you.
Yes that might make it easier. Josephine what is prairie nymph like? I know its small but have never seen it in person.
Dennis don't blame this all on me man...LOL
C
I will post the new thread now, you guys can post your requests again there but give me 1/2 hour to get it done.
Bad children....santa is watching you this time of year remember!! LOL
Looks like it is ready now....

What is the difference between Texas Gold Columbine and Hinckley's Gold Columbine? Are they both considered natives?
Hi stephanie, I found this info about the different columbines... very interesting!

I have this aster that I thought might be a willow leaf aster, the flowers are larger than the usual aster and they grow off the main stem. anyone know? I have a few seed heads that I saved. The plants were about a foot or two tall.
Sorry, not Willowleaf aster, but I don't know which one it is.
Tansy Aster? Machaeranthera Tanacetifolia?
I bought a very cheap little four shelf plastic green house to use on my porch over the winter. It will be in a roofed over area facing south, so I think it should make a significantly warmer microclimate. I have several plants that are marginally hardy here, and hopefully that will help them pull through. I am also hoping to use it to get early starts from vegetable seeds in the spring.
Would this be good for starting the native seeds I get from this exchange? If so, should I sow them in small pots now or wait until closer to spring? I have very little experience starting plants from seed except a few vegetables!
I am starting mine now in four inch pots, but be sure you check to see they are moist at all times.
Some need a cold period to germinate, check for each species individually.

Sorry I've been out of town and got back in the last hour. I will catch up on the lists (and other thread) tomorrow. Hope I didn't miss out on too much!
I think you will do just fine there are many seeds still left, so ask away.
I didn't participate in this trade because I'm working a lot of miserably cold hours to complete my back yard flagstone patio and pathways before it gets any colder, so have not had time to read and understand the threads. Had nothing to trade, anyway, except cowpen daisies and I think everyone has enough of those. LOL. Will mark to read everyones list later to help me learn what thrives in my area. There's a lot I could collect in the naturally wild area across the road from me and vow to take lots of photos in the spring and summer next year to get help identifying what is what for seed collection.
Happy Holidays.
Glenna
Glenna, you still can get seed it you want to, if you see some of mine that you don't have, please let me know.
The purpose of this exchange is really to share, I am glad to give away all the seeds I have listed.
Josephine.
Thanks, Josephine. You are very generous. I would appreciate any seed you have to share. I will d-mail you.
Glenna
Same here Glenna, and I have a few Cowpen Daisy seeds to sow for spring, but would love to have more from you. They are a host plant for the Border Patch butterfly for one.
Glenna I have seed for you too if you want it.
Cheryl
thank you for your help trying to ID my aster...
kittriana, I looked but that tansy aster has different leaves. the leaves are much like those of a willow, which is why I thought it might be that one. guess I'll post it over on the ID forum & see if anyone knows.
Glenna, I am happy to share any of my seeds too!!
Glenna, your welcome to pick from my list to.
Glenna,
Feel free to pick from my list, too.
You see? sharing is what it is all about. I also think that all the people whose names are on the list on the top post can do the same, at least as far as i am concerned. I don't want to put those seeds away again, let them go out and multiply.
The new trade thread #2 is over here..... http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1142995/
Thank you AJ.
