Jeff, you might want to post this request in the Tennessee Gardening Exchange Forum instead of the discussion forum. I will provide a link below, but you can also get there by clicking on the 'Exchanges' link at the top of the discussion forum. People looking for plants, seeds, bulbs, etc will check there for possible trades or offers.

Here is a link that might be useful: Tennessee Gardening Exchange Forum

Hi brandon7,

Thanks much... I wasn't aware that there were separate pages for exchange in each state listing. However, I tried to do as you suggested, and it says only people who are living in TN can post on the exchange page.

God bless,
Jeff

Fantastic list of seeds! I think it is just great that you have focused your life on nature at such a young age. I too would love to have 10 (maybe 5) acres someday to plant a wonderland of natives plants, and am already doing that on 1.25 acres. Difference is, my interest didn't come into sharp focus until age 45. :) There are quite a few seeds on this list I am interested in, and I checked your want list and I have a few on that list. Maybe we can do a trade this fall? Just a note - on your want list is Cynanchum louiseae - this is an extremely invasive non-native vine that is becoming a serious problem in the Northeast US. And it has the additional problem that Monarch butterflies will "sense" it is in the Milkweed family, lay eggs on it, and then it will kill the caterpillars because it is toxic to Monarch larvae.

BF related in that the palamedes....

Thought a complete quote of the elements you offered might offer even more useful and interesting information. "Although it is not yet rare, widespread alteration of native longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Miller) and slash pine (P. elliottii Engelmann) savanna, especially conversion to even-age pine plantations, is making steady inroads on populations of this most beautiful lily. It is adapted to frequent fires, and their suppression may contribute to this decline. Lilium catesbaei is pollinated primarily by the palamedes swallowtail [Papilio palamedes (Drury), family Papilionidae], the only swallowtail that is widely endemic to this lilyÃ¢ÂÂs coastal plain habitat. Spicebush swallowtails (P. troilus Linnaeus) visit the pine lily less frequently, and their smaller size suggests that they are less effective pollinators than the larger palamedes." Very beautiful pictures - thanks for sharing them. I traveled back and forth through Yellowstone all summer long the year of the fire (1988) and the 3 years after it. You would have had to see the Epilobium angustifolium var. angustifolium (Fireweed) that took over the burned areas right after the fire to realize just how dependant they were on the fire to spark old dormant seeds to life and for abundant places to recolonize. Yellowstone literally became Magentastone there was so many of them everywhere.

WANTED: western/east of the rockies lilium and trillium

Yollow var. of L. canadense is hard to find,same with sub-species. All I see is red var.,but don't know type of var. they are? Too many var. But if you every find yellow var. of both sub-species,let me know?

On the intro to the Tennessee Gardening Forum (where your message is posted) it says "this forum is for those in Tennessee to discuss the various aspects of gardening there", but everyone here is pretty nice and as long as you aren't posting annoying, rude, mean, or otherwise unwanted content, I don't think anyone is going to complain. This is just my opinion, but I think if you are posting something appropriate about gardening, that you think pertains to people in Tennessee, then you should be fine with posting on the Tennessee forums.

Hi brandon7,

No, I didn't mean that I shouldn't because it is a Tennessee forum; I agree with what you said about it pertaining to Tennessee being ok. The site would not allow me to post to the Tennessee Exchange Forum. Since I am registered as being from Michigan, it will not allow me to post on that forum. :(

Thanks again,
God bless,
Jeff
