Hi Everyone!
Thanks for all the enthusiastic responses about my morning glories. They've been flying out of my seed box faster than expected. I have only 1 variety left, the one I purchased the most of, which is Pharbitis nil. 'Choisy', otherwise known as Giant flowered Mix by the famous Takii Seed company in Japan. This same variety sells for $10 or more on ebay. Koreans also grow this variety and I've attached a picture of the actual Korean version of the seed packet for you to see. Since I'm in South Korea teaching English for the year, I thought I could help out those who would like to try this variety. I'm looking for good old American seeds to plant in my garden this spring as the pickings are rather sparse over here. Here's a picture of the seed packet. I will send you an unopened one. Each contains about 12 seeds. I've got about 12 left for people who are interested. International shipping costs anywhere from 90 cents to $1.75. Bubble mailers are fine as long as you don't write "SEEDS" on it. "Garden collectables" has worked fine with everyone who has sent me trades.

Those of you in FL or CA - anyone own a Buddha belly plant? aka Jatropha Podagrica? I'm currently missing my Buddha belly plant back home in NJ so I would love to swap for some fresh seeds if possible. If anyone has some, please Dmail me. Fresh Key lime or Meyer Lemon seeds are also on my want list. I'd love to grow a little tree in my classroom. My Korean students don't believe it's possible to grow something from a lemon or lime seed. Can anyone help me out?
You can also check my trade list to see if there's anything else that may interest you.
Thanks to all who have traded with me, I look forward to a beautiful garden this year!
