orgami- red /wt
native/canadians
unknown blue

maybe we can still get some more people to join as they start harvesting their seeds.
check my list and let me know if you have any seeds I don't have ( I have all my plants and seeds listed on my trade list ) and if this swap dose not work out maybe you and I can trade.
thanks michelle

I have some seeds in the fridge now from a white-on-red columbine (I don't know what exact name, they were there when I moved into the house last year.) I would love to trade some for some other colors' seeds to cross-pollinate. I'd love purple. :)

Candycow,
May I join this one please?? I love them . I have several in my fridge now and awaiting a few more. My Laprechaun gold is now on it's second blooming. PLMK

i have some nice white aquilegia vulgaris that did very well this year and have a lovely mounding habit. I would love to offer those up for this trade. I'm afraid that's all I have--the slugs got the rest. Do any of you have slugs that love columbine leaves? The ones in my garden eat all the leaves then leave the flower standing naked at the top of a long leafless stem. It's so sad. Needless to say, those varieties didn't make very good seed :(. Anyway, I'd love to be in on this swap. Candy, thanks so much for organizing it.

hello
candy you have not posted if this swap is on or not.
please let me know if you don't want to do this swap anymore, and I can host it.
thanks michelle

Candy
Is this a swap or not? I am really interested.
Thanks
Melanie

hello everyone
lets give candy a few more days, and if we don't here from her say by next monday, I'll host. if she turns up she can send her seeds to me and she can still perticipate. I have some great seeds and would like some more in return. they don't have to be names but it would be great if you could list the color and if they are single or double.
and please no more than three packs of the same kind. please send a list with your seeds what kind you are sending so you don't get the same ones back, and don't forget to send postage for the return.
I'll keep watching, and I'll try to find candy's e-mail, I have traded with her before and it should be in the e-mail trash somewhere.
get your seeds ready to go becouse one way or another we'll have this swap.
michelle

I have some purple and white columbine seeds, I am not sure of the name but would love to be in on this one. PLease let me know if it is still on as I would love to be included as well! Thanks, Robbi

I have some spring magic rose and ivory that I've already collected. I also have some nora barlow, yellow (I think it's a canary?), blue & white, and ruby port that I haven't collected yet - they aren't quite ready and i'm not sure how many seeds i'll get from them this year - the nora and ruby port are new this year (at least in my yard). Everything is open pollinated and I know sometimes columbines get a little mixed up that way, but they are one of my favorite flowers and I would love to participate if it's ok with everyone. How many packets of seeds should we send? and how much per packet?

hello
candy can't host due health problems, she said it was ok for me host.
lets see if we can get seeds in by aug. 1st.
mark all seeds with name/color and year collected, seeds from 06 are ok but please no older.
I would say at least 15 seeds per pack and no more than 3 packs of each kind.
I will return them as fast as I can.
I will try to e-mail everyone with my address tonight.
well I think thats all for now let me know if you have any questions
michelle

Thats good, I have others not quite ready yet and this gives up some time.
Thanks Melanie

hello
I sent my adress to everyone except SMH78, I can't send you an e-mail from GW, if you send me an e-mail I can forward you my address.
micyrey72@earthlink.net

thanks
michelle

I'd like to join, I have about 5 or 6 different kind of columbine seeds drying now.
littlegardenhoer

hello littlegardenhoer
I need your e-mail address so I can send you my address.
you may want to try and get you e-mail or at least a link set up so we can e-mail you.
thanks michelle

Micyrey: I emailed you my address info. I have some red columbine seeds, and I'm interested in obtaining some blue and/or purple shades. Thanks. :)

Thanks Michelle

I'm sending three packets of red columbine seed. I don't readily know the difference between "double" and "Single", but from pics I've looked at online, I'd call these Single. And going on that, I'd say it's the "single" type that I'm looking for in the blue/purple range. Maybe someone could post some single-vs-double pics to confirm for me? Thanks
Eric

I have the problem fixed now and you can send me email through garden web.
littlegardenhoer

Michelle,
I will be sending seeds today. I am sending:
3--Grannys Bonnetts ( double)
3--Leprechaun Gold ( single) deep purple flower
3--White Alba (single)

Is this enough
Melanie

littlegardenhoer

my seeds should be there shortly - thank you so much for hosting this - i hope to have a little more variety next time!

hello
I got seeds from littlegardenhoer today, WOW you sent so many, I might have trouble sending you back 24 diffrent columbines. so far with most of the envies in we only have 14 diffrent kinds of columbines ( thats with out mine, but I don't think I have ten diffrent ones ) would you mind if I send you a few other seeds to make up the diffrence, I don't want to send you more than one packet of each kind, unless you want extras for tradeing.
let me know
michelle

hello
I got seeds today from kandituft.
the only seeds I don't have yet are from smh78, there is not an e-mail to get a hold of her so I will wait till thursday, and if I have not receved eather a message or seeds from her I'll go ahead and sort and send.
littlegardenhoer - I now have 22 diffrent kinds of seeds for you but if I don't get seeds from smh78 than thats all the seeds I can send you unless you want me to send doubles of something or I can send some seeds from my stash other than columbines. please let me know
michelle

surprise seeds from your stash sounds good to me.
littlegardenhoer

hello
littlegardenhoer - ok I'll look at your wants list and pick ut some seeds for you.
I know I said I'd wait till thursday for our last persone to get a hold of me, but I think I'll get started sorting tonight. if it goes quickly I'll have them out tomarrow or friday.
I mixed all my "mixed columbines" I have gotten from trades and swaps and I think I have enough to send everyone a bonus mixed columbines packet.

I will post when they all go out.

thanks everyone
michelle

hello
well everyones seeds are on the way. and I think everyone got more than they sent :)
I love the seeds I picked out too.
a big thank you to everyone for sharing their seeds with the group, we all should have lots of great flowers.
those that live on milder areas (zone 6 and up) should be able to plant some seeds this year and maybe have flowers next year. the rest of us will have to wait. columbines winter sow well and I have over 75 plants I started this way and are doing well.
please let me know as they get home I will keep track.
have a great day
michelle

Thanks Michelle
I am so looking foward to these seeds, they have become my favorite.
Thanks again
Melanie

Michelle,
They arrived today! Thank you so much for hosting this swap! I'll have so many different columbines!

Hi Everyone,
My seeds arrived today. Thanks for such a great variety of seeds.
Melanie

My seeds were waiting for me when I got home yesterday. I started giggling when I saw them and I think my husband thought maybe I was a tad touched for a moment until he realized what they were. Thank you everyone!

Michelle and everyone,
My seeds arrived today. Thank you so much!

Eric

hello
I'm very glade everyone is getting their seeds.
I hope you all enjoy them
michelle

Hey all, I just moved into a new house that has a half wooded Lot(1 acre) and its been my dream house for years. Needless to say the only growing here are the native wild flowers (Jack-in-the-pulpit, viginia Blue bells and MEGA Lady fers, I really want some color so don't have no seeds to offer yet, but wondering if I can still get a few seeds from some of you and start trading next year ? I do have castor Bean seeds I could offer in trade from my last house.

Can we do this again. Our daughter is recently married and bought their first house and I'm helping her with the gardens.

I would love to do this as well... should be ready in another 2 weeks or so.

I have:

"Lime Sorbet" Barlow var.
lavender "double", looks like "Dorothy Rose" except not pink
unknown deep purple "single" var. lost tag for?

i'd like to join this. i have about 8 different kinds of seeds , some only one trade and some lots of trades.
