I would love to obtain some Asclepias Syriaca seeds! I don't have too many seeds to trade, but I have an over-abundance of Cassia Corymbosa and Cassia Alata seeds. They are wonderful to attract the sulphur butterflies! Let me know if you would be interested in a trade. Thanks!

YMMV is theme, I think. Mine was gorgeous year 1. About 3' tall, and covered in 'catalog' blooms. Year 2 was shorter, and fewer blooms. Year 3 I think it was MIA. I was sad. I winter sowed a new batch of it this year, and also got a dealbata (same thing only pink) in a fall plant swap. I'm excited to see new growth on it already. I'll definitely be looking for a new Montana, though. I really liked it, as did the paper wasps (they mind their business if you don't bother them).

Okay. So I bought some larkspur and direct sowed them into the dirt today at 4:30 -- can you believe it was already dark? What I did was took some miracle grow potting mix and worked it into my soil in my purple garden and put in the seeds and then lightly watered and then put a layer of potting mix and then lightly watered. It looked like I just lightly watered; it was not soaked. So now I'm wondering since it was 50 today and will go into the 30s possibly this week if these seeds will do okay. Also, I'm wondering if I should mulch since everything else in that garden is mulched.

Hi I have some blue bachelor buttons if your interested. Email me Patricia
