are you looking for a certain one? plmk

Jane, I can bring you a division to the RU.

I can harvest seeds for Echinacea purpurea (purple), Echinacea purpurea (white) and Echinacea tennessensis (purple). I could use some Milkweed seeds to provide Monarch butterfly habitat (honestly, I don't know if we even have any anymore. I haven't seen one in years.)

If you have any seeds for something short or low-growing that has blue, purple, lavender or green flowers, I could use those, too. I'm thinking lobelia, forget-me-not, dianthus, etc.

Dmail me.

Oh, and campanula!

i have seeds of the double decker but not sure if they come true or not

My Double Decker plant wasn't even true ;(

Bluegrassmom, Is it new this year? I read somewhere that the doubles bloom single the first year & gradually become more double.
Pam

I planted it last year. That may be true it had a few misplaced petals.

My son had the double decker and he said it was normal the first year, one "half" decker bloom the 2nd, but this year it is mostly all doubles. Hmm, I wonder if he'd let me take a cutting of it!!

Mortz- I'm not picky....I want them all and the more the better. LOL
would you want to trade or do postage for some of your doubledecker seed?LOL

bluegrassmom- Sounds like a deal! What are u looking for that I can bring you?

Spidra- I would love to trade, could I pretty-please have a pinch of all the ones you mentioned.
I have some forget-me-nots I can trade you and will look to see what else I can come up with. will get back with you in just a bit...so please hang on to that seed for me.

Pamsaplantin...love your name. I'm glad you mentioned that...I would of thought I had a deformed coneflower or something.

Cat- I didn't know you could do cuttings with Coneflowers? I don't know why I never thought of that. Of course you can.
I might need to check with my local Lowe's....you know...I don't know what the problem is with their coneflowers....but it seems like the coneflowers they have.. are so fragile....I know if a person just accidentally brushes up against one and umph!... I tell you the truth........there falls a little stem on the floor. LOL (Just kidding!) ;)

RJ

well not sure what you have for trade and like i said im not sure if these come true from seeds,so i guess it wouldnt be fair to trade so just send me postage will be fine

Please see my original post at the top of page to see a list of some other seeds I have added to my seeds for trade list.

Jane

Jane, I pulled several Echinacea tennessensis heads for you today. I only have one head of the white Echinacea as that is still mostly blooming. I'll pick some regular Echinacea purpurea for you tomorrow.

spidra,
You are a sweetheart. I appreciate you taking the time out of your evening to do this for me. I wish I were there to to something special for you in return.
I'll look in my big box of seeds and try to find you several seeds that are like you mentioned.
jane

Jane, do you ever collect wave petunia seeds? I have the worst time with them late in the season but I do enjoy them when they are at their peak!
I am looking for seeds for:
Moon vine
Blk Susan vine
Japanese MG
White marigolds
Triple yellow datura
delphinium

bluegrassmom
i have the triple datura yellow

Teresa,
Wave petunias are one of my all time fav flowers. Right up there with coneflowers. I know what your talking about when it gets late in the season. I have a problem with mine wanting to get leggy. I've heard that this is when a I need to cut them back and they will get full again. I've yet to try this though.
I will check my seeds, I know I have most all of the ones you listed. Morning Glories and Poppies are my thing this year.
I have many different varieties of MG seeds that I will share with you. Which one is your fav?
I have some this year that have huge blooms, I would guess measuring 6" across.
I will fix a nice variety of seeds up for you. The only one I don't think I have, is the Blk Susan vine. I have regular Blk Susan flowers but not vines.
I'll bring the ones I do have that are on your list, with me to the RU, if that will work for you.

RJ

I have several coneflowers, Green Envy, Razz (done blooming), twilight (has one new bloom), white swan (has several drying seedheads), Regular purple (have many many many seeds from this one). I also have seeds for Harvest moon and a very few for summer sky. I also have many Swamp Milkweed seeds for those that are interested (mine had very little water and did fine this year-LOL no swamp needed)

I would like to do a larger trade to make it worth postage-let me know in a D-mail if you are interested in these or anything else on my list. Thanks so much, Robbi

Robbi....are you kidding? Of course I'm interested. What are you looking for as trade?

RJ

i would love some green envy if you have any left after trading with rainy plmk and thxs

d-mail me all with what you want-my green envy has 3 drying seed buds at the moment so I should have plenty. Tell you what-I will do coneflower seed trades for anyone who will help with our newbie round robin-send me seeds that I can share with the newbies who send me SASBE-if your a new person on Daves (in the last 3 months) let me know because we have a treat for you :o)
~Robbi

Robbi,
I would like some seeds from all the diff. coneflowers that you have.
I will send you a bundle of seeds to share with the newbies....afterall we have all been there....have we not.

RJ

Thanks so much to you both! Looking forward to getting the seeds! Rainy-please d-mail me :o)
Moretz-I believe I read your D-mail as a newbie-LOL, let me go back and find it again.
Robbi

Jane, have you checked the RU Plant trading thread? I am bringing other plants so you can have your pick of them. It is just next weekend, it will be so much fun.

distantkin, I'd love some of the Green Envy seeds if you have any left over. Currently I have Charentais melon seeds, tons of nigella Love-in-a-mist, black hollyhocks, the Echinacea I mentioned upthread, Erigeron glauca, cornflowers...

I think I can harvest some "Earl Grey" larkspur as well.

Let me know if any of this interests you and if you have Green Envy left over to trade.

I forgot to say I have "Drama Queen" poppy seeds as well as ornamental kale.

Let me go get the heads off my coneflowers-D-mail me if you want them.
~Robbi

Spidra,
Can I add a few more packages of seeds the ones I'm sending you for a few of your "Drama Queen" poppy seeds and black hollyhocks?

RJ

Sure, jane.

RJ do you have good luck with hollyhocks? I had them a few years back and the bugs sure like them. Please save me a couple of the black ones and a few poppy seeds.
Thanks,
Teresa

bluegrassmom,

I'm the one with the hollyhock and poppy seeds. Here, the greatest enemy of hollyhocks is hollyhock rust. I don't notice pests going at them.

The first year I had one poppy I bought from Annie's Annuals and black aphids attacked it. I spread its seeds around. This year, no significant aphid problems. Although some sort of mildew/fungal thing attacked, it was late enough in the season that it wasn't a big problem.

Hey Robbi, I can send you seeds for your newbie seed exchange. I will send them on Tuesday when I return to work. I would love a few of your Green Envy seeds if you have any left.
Happy gardening,
Arlene

I think I just sent out the last for a week or so, D-mail me so I am sure not to forget when the next bloom dries :o)
Robbi
