Hi, I have hunted everywhere for either seeds or plants of the lychnis coronaria, which I dearly love. Had some in past, yrs ago, lost it in a harsh winter (which was my lesson tio start saving seeds!). My pure white survived, but not the pink blushed. I am new here, and not accustomed to how to 'deal', or set a trade. All I have right now, are envelopes from last fall of 3 varieties Columbine (a full and lovely blue, an older dark purple, and a sport which is lovely palest pink. Not sure the sport pink seeds will come true, it's a newbie in the yard, and not quite in bloom this yr yet. The blue was obtained in a swap at my local perrenials club meet some yrs ago, and the purple (which believe you must have) was present upon moving here. Other things I have to trade are plants, such as mixed violets (now out of bloom and can no longer identify) -freckles: white with purple flecks, -2 types white violets: one white czar, one wild, -yellow violet: wild, rare, -a white with purple throat: hybrid type, -red violet: hybrid type, forget name, -and numerous types blues and purples, many wild species types. (I have a violets yard :) they intermingle, and have overtaken lawn as well, so cannot identify but may only offer "mix". If interested, I would suggest planting in individual areas, in case wish to relocate certain colours after next spring. Also, my "ILLUSTRIS" elephant ears has dozens of 'babies'....this is a black leaved variety with lettuce green veins, lovely but a water dog...needs pond edge or heavy watering daily. So I don't know if I have anything to offer, but have hunted and hunted for the campion seeds for years! I love that plant!!! Please advise of what seeds you may wish, in case I have them available (or will) and have not thought of them. Thank you :) cheers~

Teatree: Crassula perforata variegata. Fantastic. :) Thanks so much! The Haworthia fasciata - I did a search and found images that matched what I have, but also found images under Haworthia attenuata that match as well. Are the two similar enough that they can be confused? I'll keep looking. Thanks again. And Echeveria "Black Prince" sure seems to match as well. Thanks times three! :) Cactus: My apologies, when I said it's not a Tomentosa, I meant a Kalanchoe tomentosa. (Now I must look up the etymology of the word "tomentosa.") So, Cotlyedon tomentosa. I'll look that (and the suggested variations) up. And I believe a good, "Oh, that's right - I knew that!" is in order on the recent thread regarding Hylo cuttings. I'll go back and re-read that, and do some more digging (for info). Thanks! The little beanie-looking leaves came from something that looked somewhat like this: It was all spilling out of a hanging pot. What did I suggest at first, a sedum? Nevermind that. I knew it was a sede-semper-sedu-something. When I go back on Tuesday, I'll bring my camera and see if the owner will let me take some pictures. Thanks, all, for the comments and IDs! *CG*

If you pot them up are you going to be able to keep them all in the sun? Ideally, you'd pot them up into their own deep pots. But, that said, I've left my babies crowded in large, deep pots until I could get them into the ground with no harm done. Seems like if the individual pots are too small, what is the point? How soon can you put them into the ground? I've been moving my seedlings out side into dappled sun on 40 plus degree days and bringing them back in when it falls below 40 at night.

I live in Guilford and I would be thrilled to try hellebores!! I've always loved the look of them and we have a few areas where I've been wanting to try them, but at this point the budget has been stretched pretty thin so I've been holding off. I'm so sorry that I have nothing to trade. Our property had pretty much reverted to forest by the time we moved in 2 years ago, so we've been attempting to tame things, but it's been clear-buy-plant, with nothing around long enough yet to create "extras".
