take my vine seeds, please, lol

Hi Susie!

Can you please put me down for Clitoria? They are SO neat!!

Yep, I've got you down for those Chele.

Hi again
I am wondering if I could be really greedy and add on the Allamanda, lavender trumpet vine to my request!!

I have been looking for that one for quite awhile.

Also since I am bing really greedy, I would love a few extra of the clitorea seeds, I have a friend who would really like to try those also.

I really wish I had something to send you besides postage!!!

Thanks for even looking at this request, I appreciate it more than you will know!!

Hi Susie,is it ok if I send a sase for a few of each? Thanks

Aknapp, yes you can have the allamanda vine seeds and I'll be sure to send plenty of clitoria seeds.
Jannich, yes, you can send sase.

Hi, do you still have some Clitoria ternatea double white that I could do a SASE for? Thanks so much!
Vicki

CL, if you have any left I would like some clitoria dbl white. Don't have the seeds you listed but have some Chocolate Silk MG seeds or could send SASE.

Sadiemae, yes I have plenty of clitoria double white seeds.
Shadowgirl, I would love the chocolate silk MG. I need your addy unless it's in the addy exchange.

Wow, Calalily
I would love to have some of your vine seeds . . . any you would like to share.
Especially interested in your red moonvine :-)

I am a newbie - just signed on today.
Thank you :-)

Thanks! I'll send the SASE tomorrow : )

Hi Cala,
If you still have some of the white clitoria seeds, I would love a few. Have some Hattie Bell MG seeds and also p. morifolia seeds, and two p. vitifolia pods that have not finished ripening, but it I think i am going to open one up, it seems that they have been drying for months and some puckering is occuring on them now. I can send you some of any of those if you like in the sase. Also, do you sow the clitoria seeds directly into the ground in your area?

The past two years I have not been able to grow them at all, they sprout, then they grow about six inches, and quit (in gallon pots). Any growing tips? Thank you .. Antoinette

I haven't searched for the A. Durior seed yet but I'll get around to it soon and let you know!

Gourd, I will have to look up Hattie Bell, I'm just learning about the MG vines. I have some vitifolia seedlings to bloom, hope they do this year. I crossed them with P. incarna, don't know what they will turn out to be.
I soak the clitoria seeds for three or four days then put them right in the soil where I want them to grow. I've also grown them in pots, the most important thing to remember is don't overwater them.
Captmicha, it's okay. My bay window is full of pots right now and that will give me a chance to make some room.
I got a bunch of sase's today, I'm packing them now.

How do you know which passifloras you can cross with? Which part of the name has to be the same classification?

I'm not sure if I phrased that quite right... Did I make sense?

That's a question for Gourd. I just kept putting pollen on them till I got a pod, lol.

Lol, that's a good way to do it.

How wonderful about your vitifolia seedlings, hope they turn out great, what anticipation.

I also used whichever Passi had flowers open at the time as far as pollinating, most did not take, I was not pollinating the right way either, but the last two (It may have been P. incense or Incarnata that I used) did take, which surprised me, I had already given up and fall/winter was well on the way. Either I read somewhere or in one of threads here that Incarnata and Careula are the best pollinators. Also the Carpenter bees have done a great job here. There was even fruit on the Lavendar Lady, they were hollow but I was just surprised there were lots of pods.

My dogs ate some of the fruits, there was one that I was waiting on and it was huge on the p. incarnata and that was the only one it had, it was eaten by one of the dogs.. boy was I mad. But you cannot scold them after you teach them to eat veggies and fruit. lol..

I am SO cracking up picturing you running around behind the doggie with a strainer!

Gourd, I got about half a dozen seeds in a Lavender Lady pod. I think I used either P. caerulea or P. incarnata on it. Those two were the best pollinators for me.

Gourd, if that was me I would be dissecting the feces! LOL It is not always digestible. Who knows, if you didn't pick it up and it just laid there it may actually become a little mound of seedings come spring. Perhaps a new way to make hard to germinate seeds take off. Wrap seeds in fertilizer or feed fruit to dog and wait for ....LOL
My dogs aren't that smart, they eat the incarnatas when they are still unripe and get sick from it.

Gourd, I have a fruit stealing dog too. He seems to know when the guavas and bananas are ripe. He couldn't get to the passiflora fruits so they were safe.

Here's my cluprit.. he and his sister and big brother all help themselves to apples, cucs, tomatoes, you name it, they eat it.. lol bad boy Harley, he is the one looking into the camera..(photo from past summer)

Their stuff gets picked up twice a week, so there is no chance of any seedlings growing. I actually moved the vitifolia and hid it behind other plants so they would not find the fruits. They are now respecting the cactus alot more than they used to when they were pups.

Hee, hee! I would think they'd show a whole new respect when they realize the cactus bites back!

Lol. At least they know that fruits and veggies are healthy!

Beautiful dogs Gourd!

Hi
I am so sorry that I didn't get my envelope mailed as promptly as I intended!

Just wanted you to know that it was on its way, but not nearly as fast as it should have been!!
Alice

Gourd, Harley looks so innocent! What a beauty he is.
Alice, no problem.

how funny. Fruit stealing animals

CL-the chocolate silk will be in the mail tomorrow. My address is in the address exchange and I saw yours. Thanks!

Shadowgirl, I'll get yours out too.

Thanks for the seeds, Susan, I got them this morning in the mail.

Susie, I received your seeds. Thank you so much, you are very generous! I can't wait to get them started! Mary Ev.

I sent out a bunch this week.
I was packing ERick's, Donna's and Karyn's and realized I'd run out of the cryptostegia grandiflora. Not to worry,I have another pod but I need to let it dry a little bit if you don't mind waiting a couple of extra days. Didn't want you to think I'd forgotten to send yours.

Hi - I rec'd my seeds yesterday. Thank you for being so generous!! I can't wait to see them bloom : )

be glad to wait on them Susie

Thanks Donna. They should be dry this weekend, then I can send everyone's seeds out.
I was just packing away and reached in the envelope to get more seeds and what I thought was another full dry pod was just the outer covering(hard like wood, like a milkweed pod). I'd already taken the insides out of it. I didn't' think I'd packed them all. It's a good thing there was another pod!

Received your seeds - can't wait to plant them! Thank you very much for your generosity!

Susie, received your seeds. Thanks again!
Can't wait to start some soon.
Hugs, Donna

Hi Susie,I also received the seeds.Thank you so much!

hmmm maybe mine is the ones being dried??

You guys are very welcome. Hope everyone gets some nice vines this summer. Don't forget to soak the clitorias before planting, they come up much faster that way.
The envelopes that I haven't sent out are to Donna, Erick, Gourd and Sheila. I've sent all the others that I've received back out. The last ones all went out the 26th.
Perennialgirl, I found your envelope today. DH had put it in the stack of bills, lol. Thank you so much for your seeds.
Forgot to say thanks to Shadowgirl for the seeds and thanks to Gourd for the little seed book. If I forgot to thank someone, I apologize(my memory is terrible).
