I have Pink Berkeley Tie Dye, Solar Flare, and Indigo Rose - all brand new seed directly out of a packet. I also have Micheal Pollan(Wild Boar Series) if you're interested. I also have Filius Blue pepper as well off of your want list. I'm interested in Zapotec Ribbed(even if its just a few seeds) and any super hot peppers(nagas, scorpions, 7 pod, etc.) that you're willing to part with. Again, even if its just a few seeds. Let me know if that would be of any interest. Take care !

Yup I agree, don't try to make the tape so uniform in one piece, use smaller pieces. Nice pics of the bumblebees!! I also agree that the edges where the colors meet doesn't have to be absolutely perfect. I would do an "up and down pouncing" with the "scruffy brush" (check out Donna Dewberry One-Stroke Paintbrushes at Michael's or Joann's craft stores or Walmart) on the color edges and I bet it'll look awesome. I'd also do about three or four layers of thin paint rather than trying to cover it in one or two layers. The scruffy brush is oval in shape and the bristles are about 1/2 inches long. You can make one actually by cutting down the bristes on a paint brush till they're about that height. If you type in "onestrokepainting.com" in your web browser line, her site will come up and you can check it out. Don't give up, we all have trial and errors with projects. Just be patient and I bet your bumblebee BB will turn out fantastic. Sal

They are BumbleBees. Every year at citrus blooming time, these guys are everywhere in my yard, along with other bees of course. But, these BumbleBees are solitary and seem to be migratory. They leave once the citrus blooms are gone. I began to notice in the evening that I would find them sleeping in side a large flower cup (ie: sky vine bloom or petunia) and then also found them inside some of my yard art (ie: the windchime). It gave me a new appreciation to the term 'busy as a bee'. They begin to 'turn in' for the night just before dusk and of course are up just after dawn to go back to work. I have no clue as to what they do with the pollen collection if they do not have a hive? Maybe someone more knowledgeable about bees can enlighten me.

I have lots of dwarf white iris to trade. I dont know the name, but I might be able to find out. They are bearded iris that bloom very early, many times along with the tulips. I usually send atleast 25. Im not picky about what you send me. I have atleast 30 different varieties, but know none of the names. I also have no reblooming iris....Thanks, Cliff
