1. Go to Membership Pages link & click. 2. Click on Edit Membership Information You can click at the bottom of the page which says, "Allow registered members to email me through this site." That way your email shows up for us and we can email you directly. That way you don't advertise your email to the entire world (or us, either). That's also the best way to trade physical addresses so we can send seeds. 3. You did a nice job making your seed list. I'll offer you some advice and you can decide if it's what you want to do. I am a beginner gardener and finding the Latin names for flowers was a big step for me. You can find them on the internet, though, and many of those on Gardenweb prefer the Latin name, or both names. It also is a more specific description. I would suggest you list flowers this way: Sunflower, Mammoth Helianthus annuus Sunflower, Cinnamon Helianthus annuus I can send you seeds for your butterfly garden, too. Let's see if we can connect.
