Hi Patricia, I'd love to have your wisteria and a couple of other seeds, if you'd check my list, plus..I'll soon gather seeds from my perennial bright pink Verbena, it's low-growing and prefers cooler weather, our favorite verbena. plmk, GB

I'm a huge milkweed fan, and would like to get a better description of the vine you mentioned "Morrenia odorata". Even better would be a photo. There are other Cynanchum vines than the Laeve species. I'm only familiar with the Cynanchum Laeve and don't know if any of the other species in the genus has fuzz. It would not surprise me, since the species in the genus Asclepias that I'm collecting vary greatly in the amount of fuzziness their leaves have, some none at all, one completely covered.

Hi terrene, Yes, being very much a outside person, the immobility was beyond difficult. I broke all three cuneiforms, cracked the talus, and the cuboid. Also got the Jones fracture on the little toe, and lost my lisfranc joint. Not sure how Primacare missed all of that, but guessing it is because they were supposed to take a standing x-ray (where they would have seen all of the bones splay out) and did not. Finally did make it to my primary Dr. who immediately ordered a MRI (hubby had been out of the country so had no way to get to a specialist prior to this) and by the time I did make it, it was too late to save my lisfranc joint. I have a pretty high pain tolerance so I did not make a big enough deal out of the swelling and constant blue color. LOL Figured it was a really bad sprain. After all that is what Primacare had said I had. It was the arthritis and swelling that went on for a few years from the bones basically moving around freely in the foot that killed me. Though the bones still move, I have pretty much got the pain under control now, using natural methods like ginger oil to keep the arthritis down. I do not take anything prescription for it. I would say that in the long run, I guess I am better off than if I had surgery and gotten screws anyway. I am doing pretty good! Mostly pain free - MOSTLY - or who knows, maybe it hurts and I do not know it! Again, I develop a pretty high pain tolerance. I am just glad to be out and in the garden again. I would love some seed, and will let you know for sure if thing do not work out. Sent an email to bananasinohio but not sure she received it. Thanks again for the kind offer! I would be totally excited to grow this plant! EG

I have many growing from seed. they are beautiful. I would recommend placing the seeds in an airtight container lined with paper towels and glad wrap on top. i use warm water and dab the paper towel over the top of the seeds and keep them in a warm place. I used the top of our fish tank under the lid to keep them warm. It took a few weeks when they started to sprout and I placed the roots in seed trays in soil.
