Aloha Graanie Bea- I have Tithonia and Giant Blue Hyssop seeds. Also have Bitter Gourd... However, the bitter gourd seed I have is for the small, 1" long, wild/medicinal type known as Balsam Apple (Momordica balsamina). Not sure if that is what you were looking for or not. You said you have a relative looking for Gourd seeds. How about Calabash Gourd, aka Bottle Gourd aka Opo Gourd? I have seeds of this one... When picked young and tender, its fruit can be eaten like a squash. When mature, it can be used as a gourd (for ornamental purposes, or to make bottles out of). We've traded seeds before a few times. However, my email addy has changed...the old address no longer works. so please message me via GW.

Hi Doreen, Thanks a bunch, but am not needing those now, hope we can trade later on, we both got to be collecting more and more seeds lately. Bea

My tree varieties have grown to be giants - as tall as the power lines that run over head by the road . They have always bloomed in October or November but are beginning to bloom now . Strange . I'm not sure you could kill these even if you wanted to . My cows adore them and keep the plants by the pasture fences trimmed . The plants still bloom . These plants are almost close to invasive except that any that are planted are my own fault . I had NO idea they would become such giants . They get bigger every year . They certainly are a show stopper when they all bloom . I think I have about 25 planted along the roadway and fences and you can see their bright yellow blooms for miles away . If you need a cutting - I have a few tons available !
