Any color except yellow! Have way to much yellow as it is! Would like to try some Reds, Purples, Bi-colors, etc. even orange if there is one?

Trade list is updated and I should be ready to start sending out seeds next month for most, except Monarda fistulosa (seed can take until October to mature) and Maximillian Sunflower which hasn't even started yet!

Send me an email and we can arrange :D

Thanks,

I'm replacing one like this. It 'volunteered' right in the middle of a brick pathway. Sadly, the gardener pulled it out before the seed pods had finished ripening. This was two or three years ago. I noticed a new plant coming up in an adjacent bed just yesterday and am crossing my fingers that it's a descendant of the lost Nora Barlow. Here is a link that might be useful: Noral Barlow Columbine pic

Hello, I noticed that you have seeds of German Chamomile. I have the French, or the kind that is not a Perennal. I understand that the German Chamomile is a Perennal. If so, I would like to offer Hollyhock Mars Magic Alcea red seeds, for the seeds of the German Chamomile. Thank you, and I will be gone from Home tomorrow thru Fri. I will ck when I return. Thanks, djune/Donna

Vera, I have a lot of red Monarda 'Gardenview Scarlet'. I need to thin it out because it is crowding out my other plants. I can pull out a bunch and mail them to you for postage. It is very easy. Email me if interested. I love this Monarda. Smells great in the breeze.

Hi Vera,

I have some almost-red Monarda didyma. A hint of blue-ish tone, I'd call it a bright fuchsia/magenta more than true red, but definitely not a washed-out pink. If you're interested, I'll be happy to save some seed for you.

Would like to trade for your Datura metal 'Double Purple'

email me if you're interested.

Hi Margaret and Solana,

No, I didn't get your email Margaret re: Columbines, but I believe I've got enough trades for this year. Maybe we can do a trade next year :D
.....and btw, Solana, I don't believe I'll be getting any seed from the Datura this year (sniff sniff). We've had 2 frosts back to back (yesterday morning and again this morning) and they haven't even produced any seed pods yet!!
