I have seeds that were left over from last year. They have been kept in the refrigerator in plastic bags, so they should be good. I would like to trade two or three types for one type from you. Multiple-type trades are preferred to make postage costs reasonable. I'd prefer seeds no older than two years old. Please see my exchange list for ideas about what I'm looking for. Belamcanda chinensis / Iris domestica / blackberry lily (36+) Gymnocladus dioicus / kentucky coffee tree (12) Kitaibelia vitifolia / white chalice / cedar cup (24+) Maackia chinensis / chinese maackia (12) Marshallia grandiflora / monongahela barbara's buttons (36) Orthosiphon aristatus / cat's whiskers (these are older - two years?)(36+) Tecoma stans / yellowbells tree (24) Here is a link that might be useful: link to my GardenWeb Exchange List

Wow! You're good! I pasted Orthosiphon aristatus into a search engine and you're right, it does look like Cat's Whiskers. From this, I was able to learn it is not hardy here in upstate SC. Thanks, Adele!

I am new to this site. I love Hummingbirds and Butterflies. This is a nice thread and will be investigating many of these plants for my garden. I do want to advise you not to get discouraged if Hummers don't seem to like one plant because the following year they may go bonkers over it. I guess they are like humans, we all don't like the same food equally. One year they seem to fight over the trumpet vine. The next year they are just mildly interested in it. Two years ago they were crazy about the Hyacinth Bean Vine I planted for the first time, last year they could care less. Maybe the weather affects the nectar the plants produce. My trumpet vine is over 30 years old & I just continue to mow over the "suckers" that appear. Thanks for the wonderful suggestions.
