I am looking for some of the more unusual vines seed. I have tried to find seed of Garlic Vine and Lily Vine. I am sure these are not the same plant. I don't have a clue about the seed of this or if the seed readily so any advice would be welcomed.
Does anyone have seed of these to trade. I have Japanese Morning Glory and Dutchman pipe to trade if your intrested.

Unusal Vine Seed
How did you get your dutchman's pipe to reseed? I have Aristolochia durior, which is covered with unusual flowers, but I never get seeds.
Dee I have a Garlic vine for you if you want it
Hi DonnaB, what is a Garlic vine? Thanks, Krispi
Garlic vine - wish I had one of these, too - we never can find any of the neat plants here in our podunk town!

Donna, you have mail............
Yes Buttoneer I did get it to reseed. As a matter of fact I moved it this past week to a 55 gallon half barrel and found 2 more ready seed pods so I have plenty of seed if anyone would like to trade for some.... Just let me know.
I am wanting to find a red hyacinth bean seed or cutting or plant if anyone might have one of those......as well as seed to snail vine, butterfly vine, bow tie vine, redbird vine and others that are just as unusal....
oops messed up the link. try this one

I got it on the first one Donna it was just devine..........I just love the flowers on this.
There is a feed store down from me that has this in the ground but none for sale. Last fall it was just full of blooms and so pretty. The owner knew what it was since his mother had planted it a couple of years before she passed and he kept up with the names of all the plants she had. She had some Roses that are just the best i have seen. He said he uses the manur from the chickens they sell for fertilizer and uses nothing else. He puts it on every spring and then no more until the next year. Wow does that stuff do the trick. I told him I would buy what he dosen't use.....LOL
And he said me and everyone else.........LOL....said he already sells it and just dosen't have enough to keep up for everyone. And all the bottoms of those pens were clean....
I do know that chicken manure is very HOT and you have to be careful or you can really burn stuff up with it. My Grandmother used it in her flower beds and garden and she had some nice flowers. To bad I don't have access to chickens.....
Donna, how did you propagate your Garlic Vine?
WillowWasp I have a few red hyacinth bean seed that I would trade for some of your Garlic vine seed.plmk
halsa
LOL.......Halsa, sorry but I don't even have the Garlic Vine yet. But if it does produce seed you will be the first to know.
Thanks
Dee
WillowWasp, I have seeds for an Easter Lily vine if you are interested. I bought them because they were so pretty and later found out they are not suitable for my zone. LMK
Ada I got it as a plant but looks like it may root fairly easy
Ohhh Meag, I would love to have those. What can I trade ya? I have lots of Japanese Morning Glory seed and Dutchmans pipe, Gigantica. Actually the Dutchmans Pipe is a Calico Flower......I
I have the Large one and not the smaller one just yet. I have seed started of these and will hopefully have some seed next year if I can get them to bloom and set seed this year.
The photo is of the Dutchmans pipe (calico flower) and the pod...
Donna, I haven't tried to root any yet. I kept looking for seeds and didn't see any. I love the blooms on it.
Donna
Would you have some extra seeds for me also of the garlic vine?

Vicki I don't have seed for the Garlic vine. It is the plant itself I am giving away. I still have a good bit of fresh seed Susie sent me of Aristolochia Elegans and Gigantea Pipevines and a few other surprises I can tuck in. Let me know if you want to trade
I would love some of your Pink Yarrow, Purple Majesty Millet, and Queen Ann's Lace. I am in the addy exchange
Later in spring remind me and I can send clumps of White Pampass grass
Donna
I would like some of each of the seeds you mentioned,, Would the garlic vine be rooted that you are offering or cuttings? I have the seeds you would like that you mentioned. Wanna trade? I am in the exchange also.. I dont think we have traded before so please read my note in my trade list at the very top of the page ok.

Sorry Vicki there is only one Garlic Vine plant that I am getting rid of. It survived Hurricane Katrina. I am still recovering from major back surgery in May and can no longer handle all the tropicals I once had. Unfortunately most of what I wanted to keep floated off or died and the plants I had already decided I was going to get rid of survied and stayed put lol. It is a good size rootball and doing well but not a lot of new growth for me to share a cutting of before shipping to Dee. Maybe by the end of summer it will be big enough for Dee to share if she wants to.
I do want to swap the seeds and as I said I have a couple of other vine seeds I can tuck in your envie. Will get out in the mail on Monday
I will do all I can to get this up and going. If it does well and I can cut it up to share next spring I surly will and I will come back to this thread and pick up the names of you as you asked...........
I will post here when it is ready to share....
Donna have you ever tried to root any of the shoots??
If so let me know how you did it and I will see if I can get some more starts to share. And yes I will take any vine seed you have. I am going to concentrate on growing some of the more unusual vines and try and get some to share with other to.
I am just starting the smaller Dutchmans pipe and that is another one that is hard to find and much sought after.
Thanks again
Dee
Donna
Sounds Great !! I will get your seeds out this week also.
