Hi everyone,
If anyone has Phaseolus caracalla (Snail Flower Vine) ....I REALLY want these seeds. I have finished buying all of the seeds I planned on. I was soooo tempted to buy these from Thompson and Morgan but resisted. Now I'm kicking myself for not going ahead and ordering. I don't want to make yet another order and pay the shipping for one packet of seed.
Here's my "deal"-- if anyone has these seeds and are willing to part with some. (They can be new this year or ones you've saved) I will trade 4-6 (I choose depending on remainder left) of my newly purchased Thompson & Morgan or Burpee seeds. These will not be full packets, but rather what remains from my sowing. (Generally more than half)
Here is what I have:
Aconitum carmichaelii (Monkshood)
Aquilegia vulgaris hybrida (Columbine) 'Magpie'
Tagetes patula (Marigold) 'Naughty Marietta'
Sidalcea hybrida (Prarie Mallow) 'Party Girl'
Silene mexicana
Centaurea montana Mountain Bluet
Penstemon barbatus 'Navigator'
Antirrhinum nanus (Snapdragon) 'Frosted Flames' variegated foliage
Leontopdium alpinum (Edelweiss)
Acnistus australis -- only have 6 seeds remaining
Ipomoea purpurea (Morning Glory) 'Carmen' (This is from Plants of Distinction)
Chenopodium amaranthicolor 'Giganteum'
Phacelia paryii 'Royal Admiral'
Brachycome (Senecio) cilocarpa
Cosmos bipinnatus (Cosmo) 'Yellow Garden' (This a true bipinnatus not a sulpherus!)
Papaver paeoniflorum (Peony Poppy) 'Summer Fruits' or 'Flemish Antique'
Papaver rhoeas (Shirley Poppy) 'Mother of Pearl'
Dianthus alwoodii 'Village Pink' ~~Heirloom
Callistephus chinensis (Annual Asters) 'Liliput Blue Moon'
Lathyrus odoratus (Sweet Peas) 'Captain of the Blues' ~~Heirloom
Xeranthemum annuum (Immortelle) Doubles Mixed colors
Nicandra physaloides (Shoo Fly Plant) 'Olde Paynt' (This was from trade---had 100% germination)
These are only my T&M and a few of the Burpee seeds. If you have the Snail Flower and are seeking anything else--let me know, I may have it from a trade or be able to get it locally.
Also, If anyone has Mesembryanthemum (Doreanthus) especially 'Apricot Tutu' I'd love to trade a couple of the above packets or something else you have in mind.
Best Wishes,
Theresa

Amish Paste
Big Rainbow
Cherokee Purple
Manitoba (from trade)
Mortgage Lifter
