CLOSED: Have Calico Flower seeds - aristolochia elegans?

Edinburg, TX

I have seeds from aristolochia elegans. This is the larval host of the Polydamas Swallowtail butterfly.

Am assuming each pod holds about 500+ seeds and at this time I have ten seed pods I can trade away (by looks of those green seed pod photo I will lots have more later).

I am looking for bulk seeds back...preferably butterfly/caterpillar larval host plant seeds like flame acanthus (anisacanthus wrightii), carlowrightia (carlowwrightia parvoflora), green amaranth (amaranthus hybridus), plantain (plantago), Texas thistle (cirsium texana), stonecrop (sedum texanum), vasey adelia (adelia vaseyi), dalechampia, screwbean mesquite (prosopus reptans), scarlet pea (indigofera miniata), barbados cherry (malpighia glabra), pasiflora suberosa (corky stem passion flower), balloon vine (cardiosperum), frogfruit (phyla incisa), scarlet spiderling (boerhaavia coccinea)

- or -

bulk nectaring seeds like zinnias, asters, monarda, lipia, salvia.

If anyone is interested in trading send me D-mail as I don't check the site daily.

Hi Cat,

I have zinnia seeds if you are interested. I'm not looking for all that many seeds as my space is limited. Mother -in-law used to have a Aristolochia elegans, and as she passed away four years ago it would be nice to remember her in this way.
Please let me know if you are interested.

Anybody still want some? I still have several pods to trade away. Would like to try nasturtiums if anyone has seeds to spare.

Hi Cat,

I have nearly a full pack of Cherry Rose Nasturtium seeds I got in a trade, do you want them? They were packed for 2006. I have kept them dry and at room temperature.
