Wow! You have Globe Thistle!? Yes, please I would like those seeds. I can trade or send SASE. Check my list--I have a lot of perennials and I'm in zone 5 so you might find something you'd like to try. If not I'd be glad to send you the SASE. Heidi

You can buy Job's Tears seeds from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds, (417) 924-8917 or 924-8887 or at rareseeds.com. The seeds they sent were not the deeper gray of my former plants, but a pale gray. The plants from these seeds are just now coming, so I do not yet know their color.

I would like to try the spring beauty in my shade garden and some amaryllis beladonna to go with the lycoris naked ladies I already have(surprise lilies). I have dark opal and sweet basil seed and fennel and dill and rhubarb seed. I have enough fresh tears of job to trade 25 seeds. I can spare 12 seeds of fresh cold stored witch hazel seed and several more from the seed I have stratified for spring. I have a few tiny seeds of mexican oregano(lipia graveolens)to spare. It flowers like mad but it makes very few seeds up north. The plants to not survive frost.I have yellow horn tree seeds and manzinilla olive. lots of hot pepper seeds from a recent trade. Thats all I can think of but LMK what else you are looking for , my seed box is packed
