Siam, I don't have any seeds, but my buttonbush has got "buttons" on it that will probably open in May. I've never seen what I thought were seeds on it, but then I never really looked good. I'll look it up on the internet and see what the seeds are supposed to look like - maybe they're just small.

Karyn isn"t that the truth. We would have Siam's garden growing with all sorts of things in no time :-) Now I can not remember diddly squad. But for some reason I am thinking that the calla lilly seeds might need COLD treatment before you plant them. Karyn am I right or halucinating (sp)? Siam you will have so many fingers crossed for you, you probably be the best of the whole class :-))) Of course if I ever have seeds that I know you like, I love sharing with you. Here comes another questions : Are the seeds from you all from ONE and the same Canna? Just trying to figure out the odds lol Sorry I always keep you away from your studies or the joy you could have gardening by writing novels rofl Lucy

Tom, I got my seeds last week...thanks a million!!! ;o) I was calling some of our local nurseries before I received the seeds to see if anyone had a Wafer Ash & I found a tree locally. When I called, the nurseryman said he thought he had one but it wasn't in very good shape & I could have it for free. I said, "YES, I'd LOVE it!" Not realizing that he was referring to a 25 gallon tree! It is almost 8ft tall & looks like "Charlie Brown's Christmas Tree"!!! IT's HUGE!!! It is alive & he said that it has been in the pot way too long. It had a year on the pot of 2006. It also had a price of $225 marked out to $50...I can't believe he gave it to me!!! What a blessing! I took it home last Thusday thinking I could get it in the ground this weekend & it has now been raining for 4 days straight! Maybe this week some time, I can play "hooky" from my work & I can get it planted...it's supposed to rain next weekend, too! I have a BIG hole to dig...LOL!!!! I've included a link to the picture of it...it only has about a dozen leaves on it...the GST cats must have eaten the rest at the nursery! ;o) Here is a link that might be useful:

I received seeds in trade and ONE has sprouted out of the 8 I planted indoors. However, it may have something to do with the cool spring we've had here...maybe I need to pull out the heated seed mat. I guess it's not common to have a high germination rate though. Here is a thread I cam across in another forum:

http://www.wildlifegardeners.org/forum/north-american-native-plant-propagation-winter-sowing/3982-propagation-cephalanthus-occidentalis-button-bush.html

If you want some of my seeds let me know. they may work better for you. Tony

I grew my Button Bush from seed sown last year, and had excellent germination from seed that was 5 years old. Who would have thunk it? I just sowed them kinda on a whim to see if they were still viable.

They are very easy from seed IMHO.
