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.

6" stem, brown flecks are seeds Common Evening Primrose is a lovely biennial wildflower growing between two and six feet high. It has scented soft yellow flowers which begin blooming at dusk. It will often reseed in the garden. Seed collection is easy. Cut off the dried seed stalks when the pods have opened and the stems are brown. Place them upside-down in a paper bag and allow them to firther dry for a few more days. Roll down the top of the bag to encase the pod stems and shake the bag well for about a minute. This will remove the seeds from the pods. The seeds are small, brown, and about the size of a flea. The seeds will be in the bottom of the shaken bag. Carefully tear dwon the bag and remove the stems. Empty the seeds and chaff onto a plate and gently puff on them to remove any loose chaff.

Have one trade of Oenothera Biennis seed from 2004 left. Havent got a trade list up yet so make me offers :)

FYI - Rudbeckia triloba generally doesn't need any pampering. Here it thrives on neglect but do not dead-head this one. Let it drop seed if you like it. It is a short-lived perennial/biennial and you will need to let it self-sow if you want more. FataMorgana
