Alice, first, to send a PM to somebody (Steve?), just click on his name above one of his posts, and when "his page" comes up, click on the little ugly green link that says "send me an email." HeÂll get it, along with your email address to reply to you. If you try to send a message to me that way, though, itÂll look like it works to youÂbut I wonÂt ever get it. Something got messed up when iV took over, and it hasnÂt worked for me ever since then. Apparently I can send PMÂs TO people, but I just canÂt receive them FROM other people. I have you down for getting ÂDisco Belle Pink Hibiscus, and the Malva ÂZebrina There was only one pack of the Malva, so thatÂs it for that one. The plant with the tiny pink flowers in front of the hibiscus is Gaura lindheimeri ÂSiskiyou PinkÂ. I love it, but it was put in by the previous owners, and itÂs too close to the sidewalk, and it tends to flop, so it flops all over the sidewalk for most of the summer. It blooms almost all summer. This year when it just looked too bad because of the floppy factor, I went thru and individually cut out the (large) flower stems at the base, and it came back and started blooming againÂmore uprightÂbut itÂs frozen now. Gaura is sometimes considered only marginally hardy to z5, so itÂs one of the few things I donÂt cut all the way down to the ground in fall. Leaving some of the foliage on seems to help protect it a little over winter. When you do that, tho, you need to be sure to cut it down pretty promptly in springÂit starts growing early, and if you wait too long, youÂll wind up cutting the first flush of flowers off. So leave a decent amount of foliage on over winter, cut it down early in spring, and be prepared to cover it overnite if you have a cold snap. It should be readily available locally in spring. This IS the pink flowers youÂre talking about, isnÂt itÂall mixed in with the lavender? AndÂseed from ÂMay Night will be very easy to harvest next yearÂyouÂll find it all by yourself (but ask if you donÂt!) The problem is that if you cut it (all the way) down promptlyÂtoo promptly for seed to developÂafter it blooms the first time, you can usually get a complete second bloom thatÂs very close looking to the first one. So you need to either decide to forego seed from the first flush and hope the season is long enough for seed to develop after the second bloom, or let the first flush produce seed and hope thereÂs still time to get a good second bloom, and that the seed production doesnÂt mess up the second bloom for you. IÂd go with the first option and hope to get seed the second time around since salvia produces seed fairly quickly after blooming. If questions about any of that, let me know! Skybird

Hey Dave - Are you getting a lot of things in for Momof2 WV? There was a posting about her in the seed exchange conversations. I only had a couple of things from her want list but would be more than happy to have them just sent to her as a donation. If it's okay with you and everyone, you can just trade my seed packets for things that were earmarked for her. I don't need as many packets back as I sent in. I'm sure I sent in enough to cover hers (if not, let me know). I will work on getting her address and send you a mailer and postage to cover her stuff. It might make her feel a little better to get a care package from our group! Here is a link that might be useful: Momof2
