Done and done! And yes please, to the cream-colored hollyhock. (I just got the purple malva seeds in a few days ago - so I will send those separately once they've dried and I'm sure they're OK.)
LOL - walking by an apartment building and "late dead-heading" can't be that bad. When I was volunteering at the Chicago Botanic Gardens we had to keep our eyes peeled for seed collectors - and I was in the English Walled Garden with hundreds of different plants. The absolute worst were the little old ladies who would warily cast an eye around and then sidle up to a plant - and then be all innocent when approached. It's hard to enforce rules like that on someone who's been gardening their whole lives!
CLOSED: Good Manners Among Gardeners
Dryad 57, I don't have your address and it isn't in the exchange list.
I'm in the list, but do you need my address?
I dmailed it to you, as I'm still working on setting myself up in the exchange area. I'll use finding yours as a test to see how much sunk in when I went through the primer :-)
Hey Dryad! Welcome to Dave's! (officially)
Gee, I was going to invite you over this spring to see the garden, or this winter to sort seeds for the CG Forum Piggy Swap, but now that I learn you're a professional, I'm reconsidering LOL! And this is a thread about good manners -- how awful of me :)
There is one more person here from our area you can look for, from Meridian Kessler -- Tusseemussee. I think she hangs out mostly in Brugs and Roses.
Well, I don't have much to say about manners since mine are sadly lacking, but I wanted to officially welcome you to Dave's and offer my dmail if you have any questions, ok?

Thank you Suzy! Oh, and please don't worry about me being a "professional" - I generally can't get enough of all this dirt stuff, I even volunteer as a Master Gardener ;-) I find out every day how much I don't know in this business - as much as you know there's always more to learn. Yet another reason I love DG. (Just as long as I stay ahead of my clients!)
I would LOVE to see your garden, AND help with the seeds! And I would love to have you see my place, but it's still a true Cobbler's Child! Here's the pic from August of last year before we moved in. Next year I plan to remove the grass in front (I think I've told you this in another post??) and make it a true cottage garden - let me know if you need grass and we'll arrange a sod delivery when I pull it up! It's primarily Kentucky Blue, with the occasional dandy and clover...
