I have one I'd like to enter, but it's very easily confused with a weed (bladder campion) - it's sea campion - i haven't found it to be at all invasive and am wondering if it'd be welcome? my butterflies and hummers love it!

Here is a link that might be useful: sea campion

WANTED: Unusual / Uncommon Tree, Shrub, Vine, Perrennial Seeds

Does anyone have any neat and/or unusual tree, shrub, vine, or hardy shade-loving perrennial seeds to swap? I am especially interested in uncommon tree or shrub seeds that I could winter sow. I would like to swap for things that are hardy to at least zone 6b. I am only interested in things that are properly identified. It's hard to know if I could use a "white flowering bush" or "some type of evergreen tree". I don't have nearly as many types of seeds to trade as some do, but I'm trying to get "started".

Hi Sandy! this sounds interesting... I don't have anything much to trade, just wanted to say hello and tell you I enjoyed the tomato/pepper seeds you sent me...the black cherry was especially good! I will be w/s them again this year with some other heirlooms I have gotten-also ordered some 'new to me' beans and zinnias... looking forward to spring! best wishes, Linda
