I see several seeds on your list I would love to trade for. Could you please take a peek at my list and see if I have anything you might like. From yours I liked: purple Chinese Houses Birds Eye Gilia Azalea Double mix Godetia Formosa Lily Fortnight Lily Lions' Tail (would love a double trade if possible)

If you have some, I would like to look at your want list and see what I can offer you. (My trade list is incomplete.)

oops, doesn't look like you have e-mail set up... I have Corn(Sweet)- Golden Bantam & Yellow Crookneck. I would be interested in your Rocky Mtn Columbine & your Indian Corn Bloody Butcher. Let me know if this will work :) amanda

I don't see how this one could be Roman, unless somehow there were both Roman and German in the same packet, and the seedlings looked 100% identical up until the time they were transplanted to the garden. The other plant(s) from the same batch got tall and produced a zillion flowers, and then the plant died. This particular plant just never grew past the point of a tiny seedling. It also doesn't look like a short plant  it looks stunted. It's definitely true that I let the seedlings sit too long in tiny seed-starting containers, and they were fairly root-bound when I transplanted them. However, the others from the same seed batch took off as soon as they got in the garden, while this one stayed tiny...and yet, it never just gave up and died. It never bloomed, or even looked like it was thinking about blooming. I've seen a low-growing perennial chamomile in our area, usually mixed in with the grass in the park, or that sort of thing. This isn't it. The seed packet says all of the following: "Chamomile, German" and "Matricaria Recutita," and "annual, cool-season crop." The seeds are from Botanical Interests, whom I tend to trust (do they deserve that trust?). I was just now considering the possibility that what I'm seeing is not last year's plant, but a new plant from re-seeding of the sibling plant. However, I really don't think so, for the following reasons: It's in precisely the same place as last year's stunted plant, it looks exactly the same, it has the same "tiny clump of too-many plants" look to it, there are no others (I would expect dozens from re-seeding, not one), and also, the cold weather just broke so recently that I don't think anything has germinated yet. Some of the perennials have greened up or sent up new shoots, but I haven't seen any new seedlings anywhere. I do know that some plants die shortly after they go to seed, which is why I'm wondering if German chamomile is "annual" in the "dies after blooming" sense and not the "can't handle the cold" sense. So, since this plant hasn't bloomed yet, it also hasn't died yet. But still...strange.
