Have Arborea seeds

I have to bring this offer to a close because I'm afraid there won't be enough seeds to go around. I will post again if I have any left overs...

Yes, please. I have your address from a previous transaction. Put my name on a pack and I'll get my SASE to you today.

I would love some.
Doris

I would love to try a few .... please!!

I love this brug!! I just took a picture of her yesterday!

So refresh my lack of any mind Sue, their mother is Tonny's Ida?

Sue, I would like some too.

Thanks,
Clayton

Yes... that was cleared up several months ago on this forum ;-). I got mine from Susie... who got hers from JT. JT got his originally from Tonny as 'Ida'...

However, the babies won't be 'Ida'..... they will be geneticly different. I imagine they'll look pretty close tho.

So was Tonny's a hybrid Arborea or a true Arborea just renamed? And if yours is self pollinated why wouldn't it be genetically the same as its mother Ida? Confused people want to know. LOL Thanks PoppySue!!

Kell, is there one that you DON'T have? Beautiful picture, are those roses in the background. I would love to have the real 'Ida', I'll try JT to see if he has it.

May I have a packet, please?
I got your address from the Address Exchange. Say the word and an SASBE will be in the mail today!

I would appreciate a package of seeds, also.

LOL - yur asking the wrong girl, Kell. As far as I know (and I'm sure Tonny will correct me if I'm wrong) ... Tonny's 'Ida' plant is a hybrid between 2 different abroea parents... he liked the way this seedling performed and held up in the heat so he decided to name her.

The only way to obtain true 'Ida' plants is from vegetative propagation... cuttings and/or division. Seedlings from the plant, whether they're selfed or pollinated from another plant will still be genetically different. I would expect them to look pretty much the same... but the plants may perform differently, bloom less or more, ... handle heat and cold temps differently, ... grow at a different pace... or whatever. They'll still be aborea babies but they won't be Ida.

I would like a packet of your Arborea, please. Thanks so much for the offer.

poppysue...if you have any left, please include me too! Margie

Put me down for some. Will give me more to do this winter. LOL Ted

I would like some seeds also if you have enough. Jeanette

Sue
I'd like a few if you have any left
I'd like to grow some to cross to my Arborea

I was thinking the same thing,I just started your seeds CC.

You are right, Sue :) Kelley, Ida is b. arborea x B. arborea and a cross between two seed grown plants. Seedling 1 came from a seed sample of Nijmegen Botinical Garden. The second seedling was one of two seedlings, that I got from Paul Hansen in Tersløse adjacent to Sorø.

Beautiful.

I would love to try some if you have any left..
Thanks
Vickie

Shoot, I just read this thread! I would love to participate, but if you don't have enough seeds or if you think they might they might do well in zone 8a, I will understand. How nice you are to make this offer!!!!!!

Please add me to your list if any left Thanks!
Jean

I would love some seeds if you have any left....? Sure is beautiful and fragrance is key here!

TIA - with Aloha, Carol

Sue , Please , Please , Please ? ? ? ?

I will put postage in the mail tomorrow.

Thank You

Sue, I would love some seeds if I'm not too late! Thanks!

Hope I'm not way too late. If there are any more seeds to be had, I would like to get some!

Eileen

Hi Sue,
f you have anymore seeds,I would love to have a few.
Thanks..Peg

I do not have an Arborea, would love to try some seeds Sue. PLMK if they are still available, will get postage in the mail as soon as I hear.

Gloria

I'm shocked at the response here ;o) I had to close the offer to any more request just to make sure there are enough seeds for everyone. I stated earlier in my post I'd package 6 seeds per pack... but I think I will need to change that to 5 seeds per pack just to make sure everyone gets a package. I hope that understandable.

I think I've e-mailed everyone that has replied so far. If you haven't heard from me give me a yell....

I just cannot get over all of you taking on projects like this, I don't know how in the world you keep it all straight. But, I'm impressed and sincerely appreciate the opportunity to participate. Thanks, Sue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sue is the "best", she does something like this every fall. She is wonderful at sharing!

I haven't heard from you yet. I will drop you an e-mail.

Jeremiah

Sue...I got my SASE returned to me today! I didn't put enough postage on it. I had weighed it and it came to less then one ounce so I only put a 37 cent stamp on it. Today it came back asking for 12 cents more because it had to be hand stamped. It will be going back out tomorrow!
Margie

Hi Sue, thank you so much for the seeds. These outer "shells?" seem to be coming off. Am I suppose to peel them? Is it the inner small piece that germinates? You probably are really laughing but this is the first time I have dealt with Brugs.

Jeanette

Sounds like you are doing great Jeanette. Yes, the little bean inside the cork is what grows. I'm sure Sue will get back to you when she can. Just didn't want you to worry about your seeds. You can peel them if you like or plant them as they are. Works either way.

Thanks for the help Shirley, I really don't want to mess these up. Jeanette.

Hi Sue, got mine today. I'll start them after the holidays. Thanks so much, LindaSC

I receive my seeds today.

Thank you so very much for sharing with all of us.

Judy

Mine came today, too. Thank you, Sue!
