Jen, I can send cuttings of the plum. I have not tried to root them and was wondering if you had. I might try to root the Guthrie after it leafs out more. I can also send a bulb of the Eucommis. You can propagate Eucommis by carefully pulling a leaf off and planting the base of it in a small container of good potting soil. The leaf will gradually produce 2 small bulblets by the end of summer. I think Chickasaw Plums require 2 different plants to pollinate before they can fruit. The Indians had hundreds of cultivars, probably lost now. Does Cerinthe major grow easily for you? Mine keep dying. Mexican Petunia, dwarf pink is one I don't have. I'm waiting to see if Mirabilis longiflora comes back. It has smaller but very long stemmed white flowers with a fragrance similar to M.jalapa. I can swap you for a seed or two of Senna didymobotrya. I have Cassia or Senna hebecarpa, similar to C. marylandica. Have Salvia leucantha- Velvet Sage in two varieties. We may get seed of Sinocalycanthus this year. It had a few pods last year. Mike

Hi, Louise, I have to check on amounts, but I have the following you might be interested in: asarina - climbing snapdragon, celosia flamingo feather (only a small amount), snapdragon Opus Appleblossom F1 (Plants of Distinction - 2' or 2 1/2' - bicolor light pink/dark pink), thunbergia, white bush scallop summer squash, peas (super sugar snap, maestro, mammoth melting sugar). Here's my list: http://members.gardenweb.com/members/exch/mdreiser I'm interested in your: heuchera (any/all), nasturtium alaska, perilla, potentilla monarch's velvet, sidalcea brilliant, and incarvillea delavayi (also white dahlia, dianthus flashing light, echinacea jade and green envy, astrantia red = but these are only if you found extra stuff of mine you'd want) --Let me know if you'd like to trade! --Melissa

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.

I was SHOCKED to get my seeds today. I too ordered practically the minute Dawn posted. Later the same day I shared on a small private Mommy Message Board, and a couple of them got their seeds a full month ago, even though they ordered after I did. So I was convinced mine were not coming. I got Flowers (5) White Sweet Alyssum x2 Picotee Cosmos Rare x3 Herbs (4) Chives Basil Cilantro x2 Lettuces and Leafy Greens (7) Wild Garden Chicory (although this is also grown for its flowers) Barcarole Lettuce x2 Forellenschluss Lettuce x2 Red Giant Mustard Greens x2 Vegetables, other 9 Pizza Pepper x 2 Red House Free Standing Tomato Pawnee Shell Bush Bean Cascadia Snap Bush Pea D'Avignon Radish Nantes Carrot x2 Scarlet Keeper Carrot A very nice selection and a wonderful surprise. It will be interesting to see what I can grow successfully with the RKN issue. Flowers and herbs usually work out well for me; everything else is a roll of the dice. THANK YOU AGAIN DAWN for sharing this AMAZING bargain. I plan to try some of the leafy greens in the fall, and I might start the tomato for a new fall tomato too. What about peppers or the rest of the stuff? Can I start anything else inside now for the fall garden? Jo
