Well??? Another one??

Glad we got some enthusiasim going for acanthus and are working to track this one down. I know all of us have a real WANT and just figure we may not as well ask as noone will have it or ever trade it. Or want something so very special those of us who are new or are short on available trading seeds will never get. Mine I guess is gunnera. What is yours Mabe someone will Make a deal here for youLets tell it folks? What is your secret passion in the plant world?? Shirley

Malva sylvestris mauritiana. I love the deep purple of it.

I have Zebrina, but would love the darker one.

Kathleen, is this really similar to Zebrina but just darker??? If so that is like a weed around here, I would be happy to find some seed. Joann

Joann, this is the listing in th PDB:
http://plantsdatabase.com/go/51465/

What are you looking for?

Mine, is Lapageria rosea, Chilean Bell flower, national flower of Chile

Ursula are you on here?? You had some???

I have two and can't decide between them, I had not ever seen a Dorothy Rose Columbine until recently and it only took one look before I was hooked, I also have been looking and hoping to find a BlueLight Clematis at a price I can afford and so far haven't been that lucky.

Someday!!!!

Mine is to find schisandra chinensis. Hardy in my zone, nice looking leaves and pretty flowers, can grow in sun or shade, and it's also an herb. How perfect is that?

Kathleen, that is what I have, what you posted in the link. I will check for seeds first thing in the morning.

Good That is why I started this thread-someone out there has what we crave.

Marclay, this is a great thread. Wish I had found this before I made a post but will do it here also. I am looking for a papaver orientale 'Princess Victoria Louise' this particular poppy has a very speacial meaning behind it. Would appreciate for sase or for trade or to purchase. Thanks Tami

Tami, I might have some seed for that! I started two for my mother and me this spring, but I think they both died in the rains.

Joann, I would be ahappy woman if you could find some!

Kathleen - do you need the Mauritiana malva? I have got the real deep purple Malva sylvestris ssp. mauritiana seeds, from my own plants. I grew them for the first time this year, sowed them outdoors in May and they started blooming in mid-July, and they were just absolutely full of flowers. Looked great. They are still putting our a few flower, and they are very big.. And they are full of seedpods now, most ready to be harvested :)

Want any?

Yes Kathleen that would be wonderful I will trade, SASE, what ever you need, for just a few seeds Thanks so much.


Evert, would be polite for me to ask for some of your
Mauritiana malva? I have the Zabrina and I think these
together would enhance the beauty of the other one. I Will
do SASE or trade what ever you need Thanks Tami

Kathleen,
If you still want the mallow....sylvestris mauritanica
You can find seed at Sand Mountain Herbs.com
I have delt with them in the past. Lotsa good stuff;-)
Prices and S&H both reasonable.

The seed I have been trying to track down is White flowering Borage. It looks just like the blue, except white flowers. I saw it in one of my herb books--now I'm obsessed...Deb

Valleruata, I have grown white Borage for two past years.. I will check tomorrow (or today in our time) whether they have any seeds in them.

Gunnera separates quite easily into smaller plants. If done while young it is surprisingly easy.

Hi Dennis I am hunting some seeds or a start Shirley

Joann, I sent you an email yesterday. I'd be interest in some seeds also. If you have extras, could you email me? I'd be happy to send postage or brug seeds in trade.

Thanks,

Shirley

Marclay, sorry but I do not have a Lapageria rosea. They don't grow in the wild (anymore) in the Central area of Chile where I live and they don't survive well in the polluted environment of the big city.

I might have some seeds a friend gave me a few years ago - he has a little nursery at the coast - but I don't think they are viable anymore. I tried them without success. I have heard they must be planted VERY FRESH.

Thanks Ursula

Marclay,is that Gunnera Manicata you're looking
for. If so, i have a few left from the package i
bought this year. I have e-mailed you.

Thanks Bitty See folks Someone has it, Ask away.

Does anyone have Rudbekia Prairie Sun?

evert--thank you for checking! You are the first person I've known to grow it. Does it taste the same as the blue? This is a great thread to start. I have seen a similar one on Gw. However, I have found more serious information about plants here. Thanks for the thread...deb

Yes, it tastes just the same.. I will go outside now, to check for the seeds. They are kind of gone already, they bloomed so early and made tons of seeds, but most of them fell to the ground.

Email me your address just for sure..

Marclay, http://www.gardenmakers.com has gunnera seeds for sale. I just submitted this company to garden watchdog and I have no idea of the service but they do have some rare seeds available.

Sadly I bought two gunnera plants this year and both of them died. Not an easy plant in the desert. Just love em though!

Thanks Ponditis

HIBBERTIA!!! Have never yet found seed for this one. I need the orange one, the yellow is somewhat more available.

Chilean Rhubarb is what I would love to find.

Great thread you started Marclay!

What is another name HoniBee???

Marclay,

It is Gunnera manicata. I didn't know until I looked it up a few minutes ago.

Well we get educated on this thread too.Thanks.

I would love to find variegated rhubarb. Anyone seen any?

ohhh that sounds beautiful and like something I would like too I also would like rhubarb that is red the whole stalk.
