aw man i vwant to join but my holly hocks got the blight this year along with my tomatoe seeds *sigh*

I would like to participate. Hope we don't get an early freeze so I can get the Black Current Whirl seeds! They are just blooming now :(
Will email you next.

I am new to Hollyhocks but am hooked and would love to join -

emailing you -

THANKS -

Deb

I have only two colors, a deep burgundy and a light cream with a yellow eye. Can I send five packs of each and get some different colors back? I do not need as many packets back as I send but I would love one some other colors. Let me know. diene

Welcome Everyone!
Everybody has Been Sent My Address for Mailing.
Also...Please Everyone...S
end Your Seeds in a Bubble Mailer or a Padded Manilla Envelope for the Seeds Safe Arrival.

Diene...
That Would be Fine.
The Whole Point is to Share Alot of Different Varieties with a lot of Traders.
And Remember Hollyhocks Cross Easily so...
The Variety of Colors Will be Spectacular.

colcol...
Your Black Current Swirls Should be Ready by the End of October.
Seed Starts Setting from the Bottom to the Top of the Plant so...
Watch the Bottom First Blooms...They Set Seed Quickly but...Wait Until the Outside Husk Starts to Change to a Pale Light Green Turning to a Tan Color and the Husk Will Begin to Open.
Once the Seed Husk has Turned CompletelyTan the Seeds Will Start Falling Out.

They are predicting an early freeze here. I just went out and looked at my HH. They aren't even close, so I had a heart to heart talk with them to hurry up! HA! Also, about HH cross easily -- my Black Currant Whirl and Creme de cassis are right next to each other and all the time there are huge beautiful bumblebees on them! So, those I expect will be crosses.

Diene, I imagine there are others like me who don't have any cream colored :) and there are different shades of burgendy...

looking forward to this trade.

I would like to join also. I only have a couple of colors and some mix but would like to have some different ones for next year.
Becky

I'd love to join in too :)

I sent an email. PLMK if you didn't get it! Thanks, melinda

I am sorting my seed stash and I have more varieties then I thought - YEAH!!

I don't have cream colored - only burgundy but it bloomed first year after WSing.

I Have had a Few Individuals Who are Sending Hollyhock Seeds Who Have Been Sick this Last Week so...

I am Extending Mailing in Your Seeds Until Monday November 9th (Period...No Later).

I Have Everything Divided by Individual Colors.
and...Lists All Taped on Each Persons Individual Mailer
So Now All I Have to do is Look at Each List and Divide Up the Various Colored Seeds...That is Why I Added the Additional Week for Mailing.
The Largest Amount of Work is Completed.
So if You Wish to Send in Your Hollyhock Seed...Please Do this By Monday November 9th.

I Hate to See Anyone Miss Out on the Colors or Varieties Sent in.
If You Need My Address Just Send Me an E-Mail.

I mailed my seeds today but I realized that they were going to have to travel across the entire country so I do not know how long that will take. Hopefully they will make it in time but I only had two colors to send so do not worry if they do not arrive in time.

I Will Post When All the Packages Have Been Mailed.
Thank You All for Participating.

Lelan.

Hello!
Could you give us an update when you think the seeds will be in the mail?
Thanks,
colcol

Sorry for the Lateness and Delay...
Finally...All of the Hollyhock Swap Packages are in the Mail!

Thank You Everyone for Participating.

Lelan.

Not a problem! Thank you for doing all the work for us! Looking forward to my package! Melinda

It has been over a week and I have not received my package yet :( I was curious if I have a problem. did anyone receive theirs?

I was wondering the same thing! Probably just due to the holiday season that everything is taking so long!
Very anxiously awaiting my package! Melinda

IF they were mailed on the 30th, it's certainly odd that NOONE has received one.

I sent Lelan an email about a week ago and have heard nothing in return. I too am still waiting for my Hollyhock package. I am hoping it is only being delayed because of the holiday. I love Hollyhocks and joined this swap because of that. Hoping Lelan will clue us in as to what is up.

I have been concerned about my package too as I have not received it yet. I have emailed Lelan...so hopefully I will hear something soon. I hope he is OK and nothing is wrong!

it would appear that some postal employee hocked the hollyhock packages.

:(

If anyone has any updates on Lelan and when we may be getting our Hollyhock seeds please post! Lelan, if you could personally update us we would all really appreciate it. We all are still waiting for Hollyhock seeds to arrive.

Hello Everyone! Guess what I got! A wonderful package of HH seeds! So your's should be arriving soon!
Thanks Lelan for a wonderful selection! Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas! Melinda

I received an envie today as well. It's postmarked Dec 10.

THANKS Lelan and all who participated!! My HH assortment now rocks!!

Deb

Hi Lelan,

I received my package today! Thanks so much - I love the selection you sent me - especially the "Braveheart" variety.

I appreciate all of the hard work you did on this swap and and the fact that you extended the deadline - this made it easier for me to participate!

Blessings to you and your family this holiday season and the coming New Year. Thanks again! - Lisa

Woo Hoo... opened my mailbox tonight after work and there is the seed envelope of Hollyhock seeds! Thank you Lelan, I appreciate the wonderful selection, I am just thrilled. Can't wait to plant several of these next late Spring!!
Lelan, have a very Merry Christmas and blessed New Year. : )

Cindy

No Additional Postage Needed from Anyone.
I'm Glad that Everybody has Finally Received their Hollyhock Packages.
