i thought this would be a fun thing to try. ya all know lots of us are still looking for those special seeds we want but for some reason we just never got them. well we always have extras of other things to share too just no time to list them all on our lists. so for this post everyone tell us what your top 10 most wanted seeds are that you haven't recieved and are still looking for and lets see if we can still find them some good homes.
anyone can post reply to share if they have it for trade or sasbe. ya just say dg id and what you have from their list, then we d-mail the person who replies and do the trades or sasbe through d-mail. i'll start ya all out with my list first to give ya an idea. ya can change the lists as ya need or don't need seeds also.

Does anyone know anything about Mountain Laurel or Daphne?
lol, robin i think i have about 5 similars to yours i have to look and see what kinds of them i have. like the datura i have about 10 kinds same as brugs have to check and i'll d-mail you later.
naien, i don't know if i have any to match ur's but i have alot that have species names i don't know so i will check for you also.
dylancgc, mountain laurel is my state flower but it is a protected species here unfortunately i don't know much about it.
Silkie,
What a fab topic!
I have a long list of wants as you know...(as I'm sure we all do). but I have set my heart on trying to get the various types of Trillium for my new woodland area that has just been cleared (There are NONE here in Ireland, and only a few in the UK, I believe!)
Two DG'ers have said they will dig some up in spring...and as I have been trying to get them for a couple of years now... when I get them I'll be having a party!
Will Watch this link to see if anyone wants anything I have!
Sue
bear with me girls i haven't had time to dig through my stash yet.
sue, we have white that grows around here but i haven't seen any out yet mabe it is due to the late winter effects we had not sure. i don't honestly know when they come out here but i have been watching wooded areas for them. there is a store here that carries roots for the redish brown colored ones also. if i remember right they are a $1-2 for a pack not sure how many roots are in it. when i go i look for dahlia clumps and bulbs so i get excited i don't really look at that stand but i do know they have them in stock they may have white to but i can't remember. if you want me to check into it and get more info let me know.
silkie
Silkie...what are you doing on here at this time in the morning...don't you ever sleep!
Yes ...please do let me know if you can buy them - I'm happy to send dollars!
Sue

i have yet to make it to town i have been so busy hopefully this weekend i will. as soon as i do i will take a paper and pen with me and let ya know what kinds they have and how much and that. i know the stand has alot of other kinds to so i'll see what all they have send ya a list. i'll scout the woods again too cause if they are up finally it would be cheaper i can send for postage. i'll d-mail ya as soon as i find out either way.

Robyn,
The Eryngium Alpinum would be great and just toss it in your Hummer BE, will work out just fine. And, I think that the Sunset is very close to Sierra Dawn and would work just fine. :-) Thanks for sharing with me Robyn.
