Anyone have extra brugmansia seeds leftover from planting?

Hi everyone!

Through the generosity of many gardeners on Dave's, I received some brug seeds 2 years ago to plant, but after going on an extended vacation to visit my folks back in the USA, I had to give away many plants that grew from those seeds away to my friends and neighbors. I'd love to start again from scratch if anyone has seeds to swap or donate. I'm a New Jersey native teaching English overseas in Korea for the 4th year in a row and it seems like I'll be here for another 2 years or so depending on the US economy.

I was fortunate to have received seeds of many named crosses from some experts in this forum as well as some NOIDS which I equally appreciate. I'm keeping an eye out for blooms on the named crosses, as I promised that person that I would let her know how the blooms turned out. I can swap or send anyone who has seeds some traditional Korean silk embroidered drawstring pouches like I did previously and some packets of authentic Korean red gingseng tea. If you see any seeds on my trade list, let me know and I'd be happy to work out a trade with you. South Korean customs isn't picky about seeds. I've received every single trade, whether in a bubble envelope or a box, without it being confiscated. As a US citizen, I was surprised at how different their policies were compared to US customs. All of my trades have reached the US safely since I pack discreetly and if the seeds are bulky, I mail in small cardboard boxes with some Korean souvenirs, marking the customs form "traditional Korean souvenirs", which in essence they are. Postage in a bubble mailer to South Korea, also known as the Republic of Korea (ROK) costs between $1.60-$2.75.

Thanks for reading this post. If anyone also has double/triple datura seeds of any color, it would also be appreciated!

All the best,
Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth, I can send you some brug. seeds. Some would be from my own crosses and some left over seeds from purchases.

Hi Patricia,

Thank you for your kind offer! It means so much to have gardeners back home sending me seeds to grow while I am away from the US. What can I send you in return? I have seeds of traditional Korean chiles,veggies, and the famous yellow Korean melon as well as other non seed items such as authentic red ginseng tea in individual foil pouches and handmade traditional silk embroidered drawstring pouches that were used by royalty and the upper classes thousands of years ago to hold jewelry and other valuables. I also have seeds of climbers like codonopsis lanceolata which has beautiful bellflowers. Unfortunately, the roots of this plant are eaten as a delicacy. Another item I have are Korean lotus seeds. Let me know what I can send you in return for your generosity.

Hi Elizabeth, I would love some of your codonopsis lanceolata seeds. Other than those, I am fine for seeds. I may be moving this summer so I am not starting a lot of seed this year. I will plan on sending your seeds next Tues. My address is:
