I harvested two more seed pods today. I have eleven bags of 15 each. The first three bags go to the following people as they tried unsuccessfully to get in on my last batch:
1. Prudence
2. 2Pugdogs
3. Hope43
That leaves seven more bags of 15 seeds which will go to the first seven people to respond on this thread. I will then privately e-mail my addy to you.
Thank you!
Gretchen
I'm here and would love some, TIA!!!
Hi Gretchen, I would love to grow some of your seeds out.

Thank you all! I believe I have sent a personal e-mail to each of you with my address. I'll let you know as I receive your envelopes and get them back in the mail to you:)
I hope everyone has a wonderful, blessed week!!!
Gretchen
That is so sweet of you Gretchen.
Thanks Donna! I know how fun it is to grow seeds and would hope that everyone involved in the brug forum that wants to try their hand at it, gets the opportunity. I just hope they grow well and maybe produce something nice for those involved.
Have a wonderful, blessed day :) Gretchen
2pugdogs: your seeds went out today :)
What a beautiful flower, Gretchen!
Thank you, Plant_fiend! Welcome to the brug forum! Isabella, pictured above is one of my favorite brugs. She blooms all summer long...
mjtip -- your seeds went out today :)
Thanks, I can't wait to get them planted. My windows are going to be full for the winter, I have installed shelves in two of my south windows where I can put all my new seedings.
I'll be hounding the mailbox, Gretchen. I'm SO excited and grateful to you for this opportunity.
Mary
Gretchen,
So I'm wondering if my Isabella X (that is almost blooming - I'm thinking this afternoon/evening) will possibly bloom all summer for me next year? That would definitely make my day! Say yes! lol
Mary -- I just hope they're good, viable seeds! They are so tiny, but they were most definitely ripe. I have 5 started myself, so hopefully they'll germinate in the next few days.
Karrie -- you know I don't have the answer to that one. Yours is a cross of Isabella mama and an unknown brug daddy, just like these seeds I'm sharing. The babies could be anything, maybe heavy bloomers like mama, or sporadic bloomers like some others... Only way you'll find out is to observe it next summer and feed it lots of brug food -- good luck!
Today I received envelopes from these people. They have been "processed" and are in the box for pickup by the mail-man tomorrow:

Thank you all!
Gretchen I'll be watching the mail for the seeds. Thank you again for sharing and taking the time to send them out. You are a true friend. I cannot wait to get them started. Jenny
Jenny -- you're so welcome! I'm just thrilled to share them, and hope they grow! Please keep me posted. Gretchen
Gretchen I just received my Isabella seeds in the mail today. Thank you again and I can't wait to see them popping up through the soil. It is soooo nice to have people like you that are willing to share there great plant with others. I am so gratefull that you shared with me.
You're so welcome! I hope you have fun with them. I planted five unpeeled seeds from this batch and two have germinated :)
In outgoing mail on Monday:

Still waiting for shinny's envelope...
Gretchen
The envelope is in the mail. Thanks Gretchen
Gretchen, we are so lucky to have you on God's green earth. It's such a generous thing you do to share your seeds. Hopefully, this time next year (or the year after) I'll be sharing my first Brug seeds, too!
Oh Gretchen, that is a beauty, I have one that is about 3 feet tall (no Y yet that I can tell) but I am tickled to see a photo of what it might look like!!!! Thanks for sharing your photos!!
Laurrie
Shinny -- I'll be watching...
plant_fiend -- you are too kind! You will find that most people here are happy to help new brugies get started. That's how most of us began our collections...
Laurrie -- you will really love this brug! She is my overall favorite, and I managed to end up with five trees out of one large cutting that I purchased last year. They all bloom at the same time in waves, all summer long. I hope her seedlings do as well :)
Yes, Gretchen. I know you are right. Some very sweet people have recently offered to share with me and I am so excited my family can hardly stand me!! I do the happy dance constantly and I keep trying to drag them over to the computer to show them these gorgeous plants. The good thing is, I know they really do enjoy the little garden paradise we are creating. My older daughter wrote about it in school last year and she called it "a magical place". Well, I might not go that far, but I do love my garden!
I got the seeds today, Gretchen--you were too generous. I was surprised at the smallness of the Isabella seeds. I have them soaking-will plant tomorrow. Anything will please me, but I am hoping that I, or one of the others you have shared with, can grow out a really special one--- for a very deserving YOU!!!
I thank you again.
Mary
Mary -- I'm glad you received them -- they are tiny. Too tiny to bother trying to peel. You will probably want to keep them under lights, as this isn't an ideal time of year to start seeds. And, you're welcome!
Shinny -- got your envelope today and yours are being posted tomorrow...
Gretchen
Gretchen, I received the seeds today and will do my best to grow some beautiful plants. You are a special person to share like this. Thanks again. Jenny
Jenny, you're welcome! I just hope they grow....For you and everyone who receives them!!!
