stephanie - what a heart-breaking week you've had! Take your time; all of us understand.
dmtom, I have you down. thank you.
stephanie, so sorry for your loss... safe travels.
Sorry I haven't been posting regulary. I've been a bit under the weather for the past few weeks. Finally starting to breath better and my mind isn't as foggy.
Sorry to hear about your stolen truck Stephanie. DW had her mini-van stolen just before we met in northern Az. They found it in Alamogordo, Nm. It was never the same and the insurance didn't pay anything because it had been recovered and no visable damage was done.
My condolences for your loss. I'm sure the added stress isn't helping any.
Hope it works out for the best.
Dane

Sheryl, May I have the Tahoka daisy? the remainder of mine is on my list up at the top.
Sure Josephine.
Josephine have you ever started the clematis you have from seed before? I was reading they were difficult and wondered if you had any experience.
Cheryl
Yes I have, I had the best results with winter sowing in a little pot. It is slow to germinate so give it time,
Ok, how little are you talking?
Well, a 4 inch or quart pot. But you can use whatever you like.
I still need these addresses.
Josephine, AJ and Sheila.
Cheryl
Sheila_FW, I'd enjoy:
lyreleaf sage
evening primrose
I think you already have everything I've got left. Let me know if you want me to send a SASE.
Have you covered realbirdlady! Just send your addy by dmail.
Sending my addy to you Cheryl. I am in the address exchange also.
Careyana,
I would like to try some of your Phlox drummondii.
Sending you a D-mail
Thanks
Dane
I have D-mail all my trades. If you requested any seed from me and have not recieved a D-mail, please let me know.
Thanks
Dane
I got some seeds at the roundup and will wait and see about getting more.I have been lurking and it looks like it could be a fun tradition, hopefully this is the first of many. Hope you all will post your seedlings and plants. I was able to get some seeds from my blackfoot daisy if a couple of people want.
Dane I have you listed for Phlox. :)
Thanks
Dane
Anna, I have never grown Blackfoot daisy from seed, have you? I might want to try some.
I hesitate to ask but here goes, I am wondering if Mex. fan palms are native to south TX? It seems they are according to some sites so can I count them as such?
C
Is this the one you are talking about? if so, they say yes.
http://www.wildflower.org/plants/result.php?id_plant=same8
No, I don't think that is it. It's really hard to tell from pics for those. They were here when I moved in and I don't dislike them.

Sorry I haven't posted yet, everyone. I've just been overwhelmed with exams and term papers these past few weeks.
Hopefully it's not too late. I will include number of seeds and the germination rates I've had, if possible.
If it says x% of y, then I've planted it myself. If it just says x%, it's from a seed packet with reliably tested germination rates.
I've got some seeds I collected this past year, most from outside, some from seed packets (all reputable sources):

http://www.wildflower.org/plants/result.php?id_plant=TIGR
NOT seeds, but if anyone wants 'em, I could spare one or two Texas prickly pear
(Opuntia lindheimeri http://www.wildflower.org/plants/result.php?id_plant=OPENL ,
possibly Opuntia engelmannii http://www.wildflower.org/plants/result.php?id_plant=OPENE ) pads.
*****************************************************************************************************************************
Request list:
Frostweed-Century plant; Agave americana
One question, Frostweed. How deep are the century plant's roots? I have my all of plants in containers
since the back yard belongs to my dad, so it would be awesome if I could keep it that way until I settle
down on my own someday.
*note: the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center says that the cotton plants are annual, but other sources
say that they are perennial plants. This might have to do with them being grow as annuals as a crop. I
believe the seeds I have are, indeed, perennial.

Hello GoofballTx, that is quite an impressive list you have there, I could use Texas persimmon.
As to the century plant I imagine the roots would have to be deep by the time the bloom comes up in order to support so much height,
but don,t worry they are slow growers, also they are prone to making babies, so if you plant it in the ground, you ca always take one of the little ones.
I will reserve some seed for you.
Josephine.

Josephine, I have never potted up the seeds, but have 2 or 3 volunteers each year in my xeri bed which is lightly mulched. I will send you some and look forward to the results.
Thank you Anna, what can I send you? Surely there is something on my list you can use.
I am sure there is! I need to figure out what tree will be replacing that horrible chinese Pistache with it's zillions of seeds. I know where to find you!
Goofball, I would like
Texas persimmon; Diospyros texana
Cotton*; Gossypium hirsutum
Texas thistle; Cirsium texanum
Huisache; Acacia farnesiana
Goofball, I think some of your links are too long and it is making the thread too wide and very hard to view,
could you please edit you post and make your lines shorter?
Also I hate to call Gofball, could you please tell me your real name?
Josephine.
Thanks Josephine, I was wondering what was wrong. I thought I had done something to the computer. LOL
Yes, I hope he or she sees it and gets it fixed.
