Hello everyone,
Here is the mailing route for the round robin. Sorry it took so long but I have been sick all week. Will go to town first thing in the morning and mail them.
There is a list of flowers and a copy of the rules in each package. Please follow the rules so that it is fair to all. Please make sure they get home to me as they are almost all the seeds I had (still waiting for two of the last round robin to come home). Remember if you have extra and want to share I will offer them to newbies at the end of the round robin. In package #1 there is an envelope marked - these are for Bonnie Vaughn- please leave them there for her.
I emailed each of you a copy of the flower lists and a copy of the rules, if you did not get it please email because I must have made a mistake copying the email address.
Thanks a bunch and God Bless you all.

CHRISTMAS ROUND ROBIN
trailingon, thank you so much for organising this Christmas RR! Glad I am near the top of the list for Package #1, as I can hardly wait! Have some interesting perennial seeds ready to go! John
hi Pardancanda can't wait to see what you post for seed trades, I like unusual. With 53 different seeds to start with you should be able to find one or two that you're looking for.
Got the little darlins on their way yesterday so be on the lookout for them folks.
Have a good one.
trailingon
you're a sweetie!! looks like a wonderful selection, I hope everyone will give back to the package so you get some real beauties. btw, please change my email to missytig2@yahoo.com. I don't check that other acct often, it's mostly spam, but I did find the rules you sent out, just don't check it often.
Hi Marilyn
I got part of the info on one e-mail and nothing on the other, could you resend info so i can make sure i got everything.
Thanks Mike
Hi Mike,
No problem will send it all right out. guess nobody got their R&R this week, maybe Monday.
Take care all.
I didn't get an email. please try again.
I have received package 1
I removed; Blue Flax
Guem
Japanese Iris
Anthemis
I have added; Rose Campion lychnis
Pink Poppies
Purple coneflower

For a newbie extra I added a Purple Liatris.

Hope I did this right.
Theresa
Thats great Theresa, glad you can get it out tomorrow.
Your next John maybe by friday you'll have it.
Gosh as they were mailed out on Dec 1, I would have thought that lana would have had the package by now. I just hate all the waiting. Of course with Christmas just around the corner that will slow things up. Is everyone ready for Santa?
I got the pkg. today. i took out Coreopsis Tinctoria, Coreopsis Butter Daisy and Painted Daisy. I put in Golden Margurette, Datura purple, and Cypress Vine. Thank you so much :) I think i will go to town this afternoon so will get them back out today. So Jackie it will be on to you!
trailingon, it did not come Friday, or today, Saturday... the mail from Canada to USA takes a little while. Maybe by Christmas? Anticip...
...ation.
Must be nice to get mail on Saturdays, not that it did you any good as you are still waiting. But good things come to those who are patient and wait.
Thanks for getting it out so quick midwestsnowbird.

Your very welcome! And thank you for doing this, it was a nice selection! :)
Anything yet John? It should be there by now...........
Nothing yet...maybe today or tomorrow? Mail between US and Canada has been slow. I even waited 9 days for a Priority Mail package from Texas to NJ! Once it gets here I will get it off FAST on its rounds of the US. John
I'm still waiting too. Probably the season! I will get it off right away. Jackie
I just hope these ones make it back to me, I am still waiting for 2 of the 3 that I started a few months back.
I check this all the time, not to see when it's getting here, I just know you sunk almost all of your seed stock in this. You will not be left emptyhanded, I promise.
I received package #2 yesterday afternoon,the 20th, and mailed it out this morning 12-21. It had a very nice selection. I took out:
Halberd leaf Mallow
Sidalcea
Chrysanthemum Robinsons Giant Pink
Cypress Vine
Campanula Blue Chips
Hosta Piecrust Power
Daisy Purple/Yellow
I put in:
Agastache rugosa (Anise Hyssop)

Clematis paniculata (Sweet Autumn Clematis)

Jackie aka talinum
IT'S HERE!!! The Package #1 was waiting for me when I returned home this evening. What a wonderful selection of perennial seeds! Have made my selections, will post a little later with them and with my replacements. With the weekend and Christmas, I hope it is okay if I get to the Post Office on Wednesday, the 26th? John
Glad it made it to you before Christmas. Dec 26th is fine as it wouldn't go anywhere before that anyway. I am glad you liked the selection. A very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year to all my friends at Daves'
10 days to cross the border..... well, I guess I should be happy it got there but I would bet a nickel that Canada Post had something to do with that delay.
Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas... I'm logging off for a week.
Hugs to you all
Theresa

Callistemon viminalis
Campanula 'Blue Clips'
Cortadereia selloana 'Pink Feather'

...the following:

Hydrangea 'Oakleaf'
Pardancanda (candy lily)
Pennisetum 'Hamlyn'
Tricyrtis hirta (toad lily)
Also including a few bonus ones for anyone interested:

Hello everyone, hope you all had a great christmas and wish you all a very happy new year.
Kelly 333 When the package gets to you if there are extra seed packages in it take them out for your youth project. Thanks bunches folks for sending in on in the required 3 days.
Happy New Year to everyone! Can't wait, John, to make my selections! I'm combing my seeds to see what I can share. This is a good time now that the holiday excitement has concluded. I'll be watching my mailbox each day :) I received some "Sensitive Plant" seeds today although I'm not quite sure what these are yet. There are enough to divide into two packages one for me & the exchange if it's a good one. Anyone know about this variety of seeds?
Sensitive plant may be Mimosa pudica? Leaves fold up when touched, look like dwarf mimosa tree, but that is Albizzia. Yellow flowers? Happy New Year, Morph and everyone, John
Hi All,
I received package #1 today ~ yippee! I am only taking out one, the Cherokee Rose. I am replacing it with Oriental Red Poppy, Shasta Daisy, Sweet William & Black Eyed Susans. Since these are more common, I wanted to try to balance the exchange. Hope this works. I'll drop in the mail tomorrow (January 3rd, 2002). Thanks, Trailington, for doing such a wonderful job with this!
Morph

Kelly,
The package is on it's way to you as of yesterday.
trailingon, I couldn't get online to post what I exchanged, everything is listed on the sheets. I counted the total number of packets and it was 7 packets short so I added 7 varieties to equal the original number of varieties on the sheets (55). Hope that's ok!
