I've had these for several years and they are some of the first to bloom and almost always the last. I have 5 good clumps (3-7 fans) for postage. I apologize for the crappy picture, but this was taken OCT. 17 of last year!! We had already had a frost and they still bloomed......not as pretty as in the spring, but bloomed none the less!
I only have 5 clumps so the first 5 to respond will get them.
Cheers! Celeste
THIS IS NOW AN ADOPTION THREAD: FEEL FREE TO POST IF YOU HAVE PLANTS FOR ADOPTION OR WANT TO ADOPT ONE LISTED HERE.

OK, it's pretty small, but just about to flower. Shoot me a dmail and I'll get it out.
Sundown for me, please, Al.
Al, I will be waiting for dahlias...
thanks Celeste!!!!
Celeste:
Would you put me down for one, also, please?
You can D-Mail me with the details of postage, if you like.
Is there anything left to adopt? I promise to make a good adoptive parent, lol
Candyce your # 2 got 3 more left Jen if your interested.
I'll have a mess of different seeds in another week or 2 also.
Yup, I'm still interested! Do you want me to send postage first?
Nope, but D-mail me your address please.
Ok only have one more left...my daughter came over and took one tonight to put at her new house. Couldn't say no to that...plus she informed me if i'm digging any more, she's first! LOL
I wasn't think, she has 7 acres with the new one, guess she can use more plants.
Sorry Sue I don't. I could save you some others if you wish. You know I wouldn't think that Green Envy would be true, but the birds have eaten all the seeds so far.
Al do you have any more harvest moon??
No - it's just one plant - sorry. Because I seem to move all my echies every year they haven't spread like crazy yet.
Darn!! I can't wait for mine to start spreading like crazy! I just love them. Maybe next time.
Is there anyone willing to give up some Columbine seeds?
Just bagging up some seeds I'm drying. I only saved Winky Double red/white - my favorite. You can have some.
We should do a thread like this in the Spring so we know what to save! I should have a decent amount of Columbine seeds next year.
I'd like to adopt CZJ, or Halle Berry, or Salma Hayek. Anyone have extra? I'll pay the postage up front. I'll even do a pickup.
Victor, why use or instead of and in your adoption request :)
Good point!! They would make such a great combo.
They'd all gang up on you Victor and have you cooking and cleaning while they went shopping.
The first part would more than justify the second.

Rats - just typed my message - then responsed to Candyce's request for columbine seeds and lost everything I had typed.
First, I really regret getting to this thread so late - any chance you have any sundown or harvest moon seeds left, Al ? - I really want these for the terrace.
Here is what I have to offer:
DIGITALIS purpurea Apricot Beauty - lots! All babies but in six packs right now
Digitalis purpurea - Candy Mountain - same thing - babies in six packs
Delphinium Blue Pigmy - small in six packs
MALVA alcea Fastigiata - pink malva - (I think - these were winter sowed from donated seeds - have some extra)
SIDALCEA - Party girl (in the picture) have some volunteers
Maybe I should bring these to the round-up?
would that be too late for planting them outside this year??? digitalis are perenials right???
Primrose - I have both - plants and seeds - which would your prefer? Are you going to the Round UP? I can bring your choice then if you wish.
Michaela
Kassia - the digitalis are perennials - I have tons of babies that have also sprouted in the garden (really small). Shall I bring some for you at the Round Up? - the one's in the six packs will be bigger by then.
Which type would you like?
Most Foxgloves (Digitalis) are biennials.
Yep - you are right, Victor - all my foxgloves and biennials - but they reseed so willingly, apparently they seem like perennials :-)
I've never grown them (not sure why!) but I assume you just make sure some are planted in successive years so that every year some will bloom.
Michaela - I didn't get any seeds off those. I do have other newer varieties seeds - Twilight,Sunrise etc.
I'm happy with Twilight. How is Sunrise, Al? (Hour later in your time zone)
Sunrise is the best of the Big Sky's - nice yellow flowers that don't fade to purple.LOL
Oh . . . Al . I would practically sell my soul for twilight and sunrise seeds! The Twilight will go into the west garden - (all hot pinks, mauves, purples and dark blues) and the sunrise will go in the east garden - all soft pinks, soft yellows and soft blues). If you have any to spare I will be very happy to trade for them - or even pay for them :-) (Sunset was for the west garden - all oranges and yellows and bright blues)
Hey, Al, I would love some Sunrise seeds. I should have some Ruby Giant echie seeds shortly. and [seeds] I have shastas (Highland White Dream) and a deep purple poppy (Laura Springer's Grape)
the only plants I have are Goldsturm black-eyed susan, which everyone in the free world probably already has, but they are a terrific plant
ps anybody miss me? anybody? anybody? show of hands?
