spent the morning surfing old posts and looking thru old pics, and drinking waaaaaaaaaay to much coffee. Now I have acute brugitis. I realize I am new to this forum, and Im afraid if I ask for seed for sase, or cuttings then you will think Im a greedy weasel who covents your brugs. Well ok---:S but I also covent your info to care for them. So ummmmmmmm if any one has some extra seed or cuttings I would be really happy to send you an sase plus lots n lots of extra stamps for your own seed or cutting swaps. I realize this isnt a temping trade but.....:( its all I have to offer. Wonderful mutt brugs are not shunned here. Thanks one way or another. Cheryl

Don't worry, Cheryl, you'll probably be swamped with offers. Some may wait til spring. Seeds are harder to come by I think. When I get through shipping the ones I have on my list, if I still have any, will let you know. I probably will have some Dr. Seuss left. I'll see. Welcome to DG. You'll love it.
Awwww thanks gingerlily I felt sorta torn between brug envy, and not wanting ppl to think I was a gimme gimme weasel...:( --(does that make sense?) I have personally had to make a trip around the block the first time I saw a brug in full bloom. The most exotic thing ppl grow around here is double hollyhocks. lolol (dont get me wrong I have those too) Would love to screen the front of my house with a variety of brugs. as much for the privacy as for the non-privacy!!! Cheryl
Hey Playndirt...... am planning to plant lots of double holleyhocks myself this summer.......LOL! I have 2 vases full of logees golden lady and double white new cuttings and will be happy to throw in a CG and broadway pink. Do you need them all rooted? I will also have tons of seeds too as soon as my pods do something! LOL I just found 3 more pods the other day so I am waiting on about 20 I think if not more.
Hey Kell, do you have any seed from that beautiful red hollyhock? Maybe you know where I can order some.......Since I can't use my email program right now, I'm here, begging in public.....
rooted cuttings are too much to ask--feel kinna like a leach to ask for unrooted cuttings, or seed for that matter..:S but wow they are soooo pretty. I would be estatic to send anyone the bubble package envelope, stamps n whatever else it takes to send seeds/or UN rootedcuttings my way. Would like to make it as low maitanence as possilbe for anyone with a little to spare and in a generous mood. Thanks Kell just let me know when to send and where to send.
Hi Cheryl, Welcome to DG!
You'll find people here have no problem giveing rooted cuttings, as alot of Brugs root very easily! Never be afraid to ask for things, we all do at some stage!

Thanks for the reasurance MrPlantaholic!!!!
I've got some fresh seed I can send you. E-mail me.
I'd be glad to share some rooted cuttings this spring. It's pretty cold here now so I'd hate to send the babies out right now. If you'll contact me around the first of April I'd be glad to share what I've got.

Very Nice Hollyhocks Kell!

Hey, plays.........you have mail.
No Doubt Kell they sure are nice,Ive got a double peach,can't think of the name(peaches n cream?)Sure like your reds!
Hey Doc, she is ignoring my begging in public. Think I should send her ANOTHER email? I like that red a lot too.
Brugie if you can wait till summer Ill put on my ninja suit n go plant relocating one night when my neighbors go to walmart.???? lolol
Hey Plays, your neighbors have that red hollyhock? I think that is a really striking color. Hopefully my friend, Kell, will save me some seed from hers. Maybe I can find it someplace on the web too. Would love to see you in your ninja suit though. :-)
Welcome to DG, playsndirt! You will love it here. I feel like I have found so many freinds! Really, they are more like family. If you have a problem, someone will know the answer. I love hollyhocks, especially the doubles. I had them when I lived in Colorado, now I'm in Florida and starting all over on plants and flowers. Hopefully I will be able to trade things soon. You will find everyone is very generous here so don't be scared to ask!
