Red Star MG, so pretty!

I found these on sale today, I've never seen this variety before! the packet says they only grow to about 6 feet, I'm hoping the flowers look as good as the pic!!

wow they are pretty! were did you find them?

polar

at a local hardware and plumbing store. They also had chocolate MG seeds and some goofy looking gourd seeds, it's funny what you find in the least likely places

they have the appearance of pinwheels, don't they?......E.

Hi Caren! :) The joy of treasures in unlikely places!

Look a bit like Mt. Fuji. Did you get any of the chocolate - I've never seen chocolate ones - what color are they?

bitty, you have mail! :O)
sandy, here's the pic of the chocolate

They have those here too and I bought some. I have the double dark blue picotee too.........have you seen that one? It's beautiful

yes, I discovered double blue and double red picotee this year, I started a bunch of each a few months ago, then put them outside too soon and killed them..argghhh!!! but now I have some more coming up, I am trying to use mind control on them to get them to hurry up and bloom for me...I've gone vine crazy this year!!

lol.........same here.......I'm vine crazy period.......lol

WOW, I love the red ones, I will have to look here for them!

The Livingston Seed Company is located right here in good old Columbus, OH. Here's their website address: http://www.livingstonseed.com/

If you are able to collect any seed keep me in mind and we can trade :)

Gee kc8lcw, they only sell wholesale and I could not find a list of their seeds for sale or stores that buy their seeds on their website so I would know where to look. Boo Who!

Kell and polarbear, I'll stop by there again and see if they still have any left, if they do I'll buy them so you can have some.

you are too sweet! thanks......let me know and I will reimburse you!

I have 7 seeds left of the red star MG and 19 seeds for the picotee double blue MG. Let me know if either of you want any, Kell and polarbear, or anyone else.

here's a pic of the picotee

Carena,
Same here. I will reinburse you. THanks so much for looking.

Flowox, if she is unsuccessful I would love to trade for your 7 red star seeds.

Thanks!
polarbear_77

just let me know polarbear_77 :)

Polarbear and Kell, you are in luck! send me your addy's, I got the last few packets on my way home from work today!

Carena, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

You have mail :)

Got the seeds today.....thanks.......... would you like a brug or 2 in trade, Carena?

Kell, that would be great! I'm slowly but surely developing brug fever, I've been reading everything I can find about them, on DG and othe web sites. I'm trying to learn as much as I can so I can join the wonderful world of brugs!

Which ones do you have already Carena?

Hi Carena, I emailed to thank you for the seeds but I thought I would thank you here too!

I have some vine seeds (mostly morning glories and a few others). I think most of them are pretty common. I have some nice herb seeds and ornamental peppers too. Is there anything you would like?

Here is my list. I have other stuff that hasn't make it on there yet so you can alway ask if you have something in mind.

THanks again :)

Kell, polarbear, I really wasn't expecting anything in trade, you are so nice!

Polar, do you still have a few thai or red opal basil seeds? just love basil, yum!!!

Kell, I only have 3 brug varieties, they are my first brug babies, and they are about 5" tall already!. I'm trying to go by memory.....they are crosses of Jean Pasko, isignis, ollie, suaveolens?? at this point any types would be new to me! I really want to figure out which ones have the best fragrance, but I think they are all beautiful, especially the frilly ones with the long tendril thingies. are you impressed with my amazing knowledge of brug terminology??? LOL, I'll get there, pretty soon I'll know just enough to start asking dumb questions on the brug forum, you have been warned!! :O)

I have to see what I have for rooted. I may have a Double White and a Golden Lady. I have others if you know how to root them yourself.

oh gosh, I was thinking you were sending seeds...a cutting would be AWESOME! I could root a cutting, it would probably be easier to send than a rooted one. I really appreciate this Kell, you have no idea, you are the BEST!!!! LMK if I need to send postage. BIG HUGS!!!
Caren

Carena,

How about some of both? Just email me your address.

polarbear_77

On the MG topic, do they like lots of sun? Does anyone know?

yes they are sun lovers!

That makes my day (twice :) Thanks, Carena!!!

Hey Carena,

I mailed the basil seeds yesterday. Keep an eye on the mailbox.

Thanks again for the red star. My seedlings are coming up!

polarbear_77

thanks polar! they look like they get BIG, the leaves are twice the size of my other MG varieties.

Carena, I am in New Jersey for several weeks, I left suddenly. I won't forget I owe you!

no blooms here yet of that one :(
huge leaves though.............all I have sofar are purple ones........lol

Kell, no problem, I wasn't a bit worried!
Flo, me too, but they are growing so fast I bet it won't be too long :O)

I just know they'll bloom while I'm on vacation.......lol

Carena, was it you that I promised a variegated AV to? I can't for the life of me remember. LMK if so and I'll get it out before Saturday when I leave

yes it was me, but if you are too busy and don't have time, I understand, I know how hectic things can get!

I will try to remember. If you get a chance real quick, send me an e-mail with your addy so I don't have to look it up and that way will remember it too :)
