I have quite a few packs of freshly collected (Sept 2007) and cleaned Asclepias tuberosa seed for trade. These seeds are very easy to grow and drought resistant once established. They are a host plant for Monarch butterflies and beautiful to look at. This plant grows a large tap root and should probably be planted in its permanent location or in a deep container and transplanted before it gets very big. I would like to trade for other hardy Asclepias species (see my exchange list, linked below) or easy to grow tree, shrub, or perennial seed. I am not interested in annuals, vegetables, or plants not hardy in my zone. Here is a link that might be useful: My Exchange List

It's YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to keep track of who you are trading with. You print a copy of the trade for your records, or save it into a notebook. An easy way to do this is to print out the address correspondence and write on it the day you mailed out your envelope. Save your correspondence in a brightly colored pocket folder and use it ONLY FOR YOUR TRADES. Keep it by your computer and never walk it out of the room!!! If you don't have a printer you can keep track of your trades by writing down the info in a spiral notebook. Use one sheet per trade/sase. Write down the email of the person you're mailing to, what was sent, what is expected in return, and write down the day it was sent. An excellent suggestion is to put a piece of long ribbon through a ring-hole in the spiral binder and TIE IT TO THE COMPUTER TABLE so it can't disappear. When the seeds come in you can look up right away who they're from and send a THANK YOU via email. Then draw a line through the page to indicate that the trade has been completed....now you're done! I save my "address" emails to a folder in my inbox that I've created called "seed trades". When the seeds come in, I pull up the corresponding letter, and I hit the "respond button" and I say, "thanks, I got the seeds!". Once you say THANK YOU your responsibility is done....all GOOD TRADERS acknowledge the receipt of the other trader's seeds and say thank you. You can then delete the email or move it to another folder called "completed trades". Once you've sent a "Thank You for Trading" you're done with the trade. Store your seeds where they'll be safe and dry until you sow them, and dream and plan for your new garden and future trades. =====================================

I've been looking for pipevine plants seed too. I need the specific one that will attratic the pipevine butterflies, not the other one, polydamas, because i have three of those plants and its blooming beautifully and I love seeing many polydamas fluttering all over the plants. I just would like to add BLUE butterflies (pipevine) to my garden. I have many tropical milkweed plants too that should have seeds soon just like you. Let me know if you ever came across seeds soon for pipevine.

Looking to trade or exchange this is only my 2nd year, I can only send 4-8 seeds depending on the amount I have, please look at my profile page for new seeds. Thank-You for being patient with me.
