Hi Jaynine- Well, I 'thought' I had a lot of zinnias... I actually just bought the Highlights this year, so haven't got those available for trade I might have a California Giant Pink, but I know it doesn't say "Lady" on it. The Old Mexicos are taller than the Aztecs...so I guess while those ARE close, I'll pass for now. If I change my mind, I'll definitely look you up. Thanks!

Hi does anyone know where I can acquire seeds for this specific vine? I only found one place on the internet so far that has this one in particular but they only sell small rooted clones. thanks for taking a moment to reply!

Hi, I had a similiar experience this year, but I bought my seeds off EBAY and they were supposed to be California Giant which should be about 4 feet tall with 5-6 inch blooms. Instead they are about 18 inches tall with small flowers. Very disapointing as I put them in the back of the garden since I thought they would be bigger. I just figured the seller sent me the wrong seeds but who knows? I bought some other zinnia seeds from Park Seed and most of them turned out as expected (Candy mix, Zahara, and whirlygigs) but Queen Red Lime looks nothing like the picture in the catalog and I would go so far as to say they are the ugliest flower I have ever seen!

Mike, Wildseed Farms has amazing prices on some common seeds, both wildflowers and ornamental garden-type flowers, and also some herb seeds as well. You can buy in small or huge quantities. I spent about $4 on two packs of Laura Bush petunia seeds a few years ago, and have had purple, pink and white Laura Bush petunias ever since. They cost me nothing because they reseed everywhere. (Laura Bush is an heat-tolerant ornamental petunia that blooms all summer long even when the temps are in the 100s, unlike the more heat-sensitive bedding plant petunias you buy in stores.) Every time I see the pots and hanging baskets of petunias in stores in the early spring I want some. They're so pretty and I'm so starved for flowers at that point. Then, I remind myself to be patient and my Laura Bush reseeders will pop up out of the ground and be blooming before I know it.....and they do. I've planted a lot of flowers, both wildflowers and then others like cultivated varieties of cosmos, sunflowers and zinnias from Wildseed Farms and have been happy with every single one. Almost all of them reseed for me, which means I'm not running back and buying more seed every year. Right now, I still have 5 containers of the purple-flowered Laura Bush petunia in bloom. I dug up the tiny seedlings out of the garden path last March or April and put them in the pots. Periodically I shear them back to stimulate new flowering growth. At night, I roll or drag them into the garage. Sometimes, I have left them out with temps as low as 10 degrees though, and they haven't frozen yet. These few flowers keep my spirit nourished in the winter when they aren't any native flowers in bloom. Dawn Here is a link that might be useful: Wildseed's Website
