Does Anyone Have THIS Datura? And Have Seed For Sale/Trade?

6 years ago

i cant buy this one. it is in Canada and the only seller of it on EBay. Thy insist they wont sell to anyone with a zipcode that has a '3' at the beginning. And I am in 33309!

It is a datura, not poison or nuclear waste...it is datura seeds. This is the only place I have found this color for sale. I JUST found out about 'Box of Chocolates' 10 mins. ago, and the only sale of it, ended on EBay, a week ago!!!

At least it isn't double purple/white. i ma so bored with that!

so...this is on EBay..but I cant buy it. BUT the rest of the country can. i would be GREATFULL to buy them from anyone that would buy them from this seller, and make it worth the extra trouble to do so.

OR if you are growing it, do you have any seed for sale?

It is CREAM and PURPLE. Not 'Black Current Swirl', or double Purple/White. It is sold by 'TheSeedHouse' on Ebay, they are in Canada. But I, and like 4 other states, cant buy them from this seller. So I have put out like 5 posts in 5 forums on here, begging for the seeds. Or to find a fellow gardener, that might buy them, that CAN buy them from one of the other 45 states, and resell them to me. Here is the picture of it on EBay.

OR if you have any of this 'Box of Chocolates', and you have gotten a lot of cream/purple speckled blooms,not the double purple/white blooms. I have tons of that. I would LOVE those. Can anyone help? Thank you.

Someone gave me seeds way back in '08 and the flowers looked like your photo above. I dearly loved it, but unfortunately I didn't keep it going.

I'm glad you found some seeds! Keep us posted on how your plants do.

Does anyone have Fire/Zowie Zinnia seeds for trade?
Q
Comments (5)
Hi rhizo! I was having an issue posting in the seed exchange section. I hadn't chose "United States" in my profile. It took me a while to figure out that was the problem as no alerts showed up and no one from garden forums responded to my request for help. It would be nice if a warning would come up if you don't choose your country. I'm sure I can't be the first person who did that! I have received fire, white, and yellow zinnias from trades and excited to see how they look and perform. I was not aware that the "zowie" zinnias would not produce "true". I have now received two trades of them. I'm wondering what they will look like? Will they just appear as a variation? Tony

Does anyone have common buttonbush seeds to trade?

I received seeds in trade and ONE has sprouted out of the 8 I planted indoors. However, it may have something to do with the cool spring we've had here...maybe I need to pull out the heated seed mat. I guess it's not common to have a high germination rate though. Here is a thread I cam across in another forum: http://www.wildlifegardeners.org/forum/north-american-native-plant-propagation-winter-sowing/3982-propagation-cephalanthus-occidentalis-button-bush.html If you want some of my seeds let me know. they may work better for you.

does anyone have hosta seeds to trade?
Q
Comments (12)
Siam Before you order any hosta seed or hostas, go to this forum and ask about growing hosta in your zone, which, by the way is......????? http://www.perennialnursery.com/forums/index.php .......click on the hosta forum and there is a hosta seed/hybridizing subforum that will answer all your questions. I have a large collection but stopped collecting actively when I could not successfully hybridize hostas in my zone 7 climate, al least to the extent I wanted to hybridize. Now, I just enjoy the heck out of these beautiful perennials ..........they are especially pristine and lovely as they emerge at this time of year. There is also a hosta forum here on GardenWeb that has lots of helpful folks!! Brenda

I'm looking for a Brugmansia cutting or datura plant/seed for free, I've been trying with datura and somehow I keep killing the plant, is there a sturdier datura that holds up more to a bad gardener? I love the plant, my neighbor had one and they are very lovely and smell wonderful. Any help would be much appreciated!!

The 'Box Of Chocolate' seeds I bought, have finally just germinated, over the past 4 days. So I have a few of each of the 5 different varieties of 'BOC' datura plants. 'Purple Lace', 'Purple Confusion', 'E', and 'Purple Specks', and 'Tri-Color' At least they are up and starting to grow.

I STILL cant get Double Yellow datura seeds!!! I pay for them, and pay for them, and I keep getting the double purple/white ones. The last pack of seeds i bought, all of 10 seeds, for $3,...i planted them all and after 3 weeks, none came up! I uncovered them and not a root tip in sight. But my 'BOC' ones came up in about 9 days.

I told the seller this, and he SAYS he sent me replacement ones,...3 weeks ago...from GA.! I have opened a case against him on EBay, and I STILL dont have the double yellow ones! Cant trust anyone on EBay to send me these double yellow ones. I give up.
