    We talked about doing a seed swap, so I'm kicking it off by starting a thread for people to post their haves and wants. I'll also post the "official" rules and sign up thread in a minute. This will be a free for all, meaning anything that grows from seed. However, if you aren't interested in something, let me know and I'll do my best to accommodate.

    Thank you for being patient with me about my wish list and for doing this swap, Lisa. My late wish list is:

    flowers -

    Favorite Flower #1 - Silene coeli-rosa (synonyms Viscaria oculata, Lychnis viscaria) I winter sowed this one year, and it bloomed in its milk jug like a sky-blue creeping phlox. Best festival of blue among flowers I have known, ever.

    Angelonia - white

    Hibiscus mutabilis

    Impatiens balsamina - Camellia Flowers - would really like some seeds of what is known as the camellia balsam, which I hope the bees will cross with Peppermint Sticks to obtain something like the hard-to-find Blackberry Trifle. Do not send seeds of Blackberry Trifle, because I don't want to take a chance with someone else's rare seeds.

    Petunia 'Aladdin's Nautical Blues' - also love old fashioned FRAGRANT petunias

    Plectranthus argentatus, seeds - species or any cultivar of P. argentatus

    Nicotiana - any of the chocolates; mutabilis; any that are petite, greenish & fragrant

    Flowers that will cope with shade, like Rehmannia elata

    Zaluzianskya capensis

    - - - - - -- - - - - - -

    Herbs -

    Basil - Lime, Red Lettuce Leaf

    Chamomile, German (Matricaria recutita)

    Chives (Allium schoenoprasum)

    Cilantro

    Dill - dwarf, but any would be fine

    Parsley, curley

    Santolina tomentosa p66

    Thyme - including Thymus vulgaris, French thyme, any

    Winter Savory

    - - - - - - - - - - -

    Vegies -

    Favorite Flower #2 - Radicchio Rosso di Verona - really want this one - The magnificent second year 6'x3' inflorescence of flowers is blue like no other. This is also known as a chicory. After fall frost, the leaves change from green to very dark maroon, and the whole plant makes a kind of cone, not a ball...really too beautiful to eat.

    Shallot - any from seed

    Beets, Yellow/Golden

    Broccoli

    All lettuce except 'head'.

    Paprika peppers, NO to VERY LOW, 'heat' . [For the 'Sweetie']

    Snap Peas [edible pod] Snow peas ok]

    spinach

    Tomatoes [prefer the purple types or Yellows]

    For wifie: [Fragrant where possible]

    Asters

    Hollyhock

    French Marigold

    Nastys

    gardenerz, you should always send a bit more than what it cost you to send your package to me, I always send extras back. I have your return package packed with veg seeds but added in 10/15 extra packs of flower seeds for your wife. I'll add the extra postage to get it to you if need be. If by chance you have added too much money for your return postage, I always return any excess.
