I actually have some blue himalayan poppies that germinated. I have tried for two years to get these going, and finally have some started. I would love to try some of your seeds if it's not too late. I definatley qualify in the cool, moist climate you stated. I do have seeds of many different kinds of Papaver somniferum growing that will be ready later, as well as blue-pink- and white forget-me-nots that are still blooming.

The seedling that has the soft fuzzy leaf is foetida and the other large leafed one is more than likely edulis. The first leaves on the edulis are not lobed like most passies but will start looking more passie like as it gets a little older. The edulis is a very aggressive grower once it gets started whereas the foetida is a smaller vine. Passies root (for me) differently as well. Some are nearly 100% with just dipping the ends in hormone and putting in a humidity chamber in moist potting soil whereas some are alot harder. One of the hardest for me is the Lady Margaret. The percentage of cuttings from it is never very high. Patsy

Hey Tracy- Nice selection of divisions, but I thought that you were suposed to divide either in the spring or fall. I have been known to divide Iris any time of year after blooming because they are really tolerant. But some of my daylillies just totally wilt if I mess with them at all. Expecially the fan shaped ones. (these are all acquired from Mom, so I dont know the names of them.) If someone can tell me how to start the suckers from butterfly bush, I have a yellow one that is trying to take over the garden. I am beginning to wonder if it is invasive or just really happy. Do you just put a branch cutting in water? or does it need to be from below grade with roots? I would definately be interested in a swap. I just cut a new bed 20'X20' that needs to be filled. I would also be interested in any type of daisy shaped flowers, bottle brush types and definately daylillies. But I have lavender colored iris & yellow thread leaf coreopsis (tick seed) that I can split if someone is interested. If anyone wants a pastel Yarrow, you can have the whole thing. Sounds like we need to set up a swap meet. Sound out if you are interested. --Candace

I'd been searching myself for Mexican buckeye seed and I hit the jackpot. Got more seed than I know what to do with. I'm looking for Mexican plum tree seed if anyone has any. My yard needs trees and I'd much rather have native trees that pretty much stay to themselves instead of towering oaks and elms and AZ ash. So give me a shout if you come across any Mexican plum tree seed. Thanks everyone!
