Hope you don't mind my butting in.
Do either of you know about a marigold that grows like a bush (~ 3 ft)?
I had seeds long ago and really miss this plant.
ROX
What kind of flowers did it have, Rox? The licorice one that is offered here is a tall bush type but the flowers are tiny and yellow. It makes a great plant, though. I would be asking for seed if I didn't already have the plant. It is a perennial here. I like to pull a leaf off and chew it. Or rub your hands on it. LOL
Windy-
The flowers were orange and about 1" in diameter. Could it have been tagetes erectus?
Peggy-
Your tagetes lucida does sound wonderful and I would love to see if it is deer resistant [I have several test beds]. I don't have many seeds at this time of year for trade but I do have some varieties of california poppy [native and other] . I also collected seeds from a native jack-in-the pulpit but I have no idea whether they will germinate.
ROX
bigred, If you have extra, I would love to trade. I have everything you can imagine. I have MG, poppy, dianthis, sunflowers (several types), moon vines, pampas grass, clematis, etc. I don't have a trade list yet, I am working on one. LMK
rox,
could that have been Copper Canyon Daisy(tagetes lemmonii)?
I believe your sending me some penstemon smallii seeds so I'll send you some mex. marigold.MM is perennial for me,gets about 2 ft.tall but not what I'd call a bush.
luvsgrtdanes,
I'll dmail you.
defoecat,
what kinda ETC. do you have. I'm pretty much covered up with the others you offered.
Peggy
Peggy, I have Cox Comb, Coneflower, Ruby Star and Purple, Mexican Sun Flower, Petunia, solid purple, toad lily, cardinal creeper, dianthus, clematis,mondara godetia (sybil) Purple Hyacinth Beans, castor bean, moon flower, zennias (mixed).
If you see something you want we can trade, or if not, maybe some other time.
Thanks
Bonnie
Peggy-
Thanks for sending the seeds!
Here is an image of the plant I had; I really miss it!
It was about 3 ft tall.

Hey Rox_Male
I'm not sure if this will help or not but check out Seeds of Change.com
In the catalog I just received there are a few unusual marigold varieties that are
on the taller side. If you can't find one like you had (beautiful by the way) you may
find a new favorite. Good luck:)
