Ok, guys! I was planning to do this earlier and just didnt have time! No guarantees on this, but if I can find the time Ill bring seeds for anyone who wants some. I usually try to find time to post a full description with any plants or seeds I have available, but this time itll just be a list! This is all collected seed -- no commercial seed! Some of these seeds are 2 or 3 years old (but so are half the seeds you PAY for!), but to the best of my knowledge theyre all still perfectly useableand youre not paying for them! If you want more info about somethingI dont have time to replyBUTif you search for HiAlts old Seed Exchange threads, you can probably find where Ive previously posted the information! Just be sure you use the search box on the bottom of RMG (next to "todays birthdays") so youre only searching RMG and not all of GW! I just checked and all three seed exchange threads will come up, and even the 08 one where I posted pics of a bunch of them. AND REMEMBER those threads are no longer active, so just use them for my plant descriptions and NOT to request seeds from somebody else! You can also find pictures and additional information for most of these if you search just RMG for the Latin name of each. Most of them Ive posted picture(s) of over the years! If you want some of the seeds, please tell me what you want IN A LIST form, rather than in a sentence! Its quicker for me to go down a list than it is to pick individual items out of a sentence! Heres the list! Perennials: ~ Alcea rosea - mixed colors - single hollyhock ~ Alcea rosea Nigra, single black hollyhock (this is '05 seed--after that I had other colors, so I wasn't able to get new seed since they cross, but I'm virtually certain this seed is still viable) ~ Aquilegia chrysantha, Columbine, VERY fragrant yellow flowers ~ Armeria pseudarmeria ~ Aruncus dioicus ~ Belamcanda chinensis, Blackberry Lily ~ Callirhoe involucrata, Wine cup, Poppy mallow, seed germination VERY irregular - may take months cold stratification MAY help some, seed scarification may help too. This one's a "tough nut to crack!" ~ Crocosmia Lucifer ~ Cyclamen hederifolium, hardy cyclamen, white ~ Dianthus barbatus, mixed, tall (18") Sweet William ~ Heracluim lehmannianum, Mongolian Cow Parsnip ~ Hibiscus moscheutos Disco Belle Pink ~ Lavandula angustifolia, English Lavender, Munstead or Hidcote ~ Papaver somniferum, mixed, Opium poppies, Breadseed poppies ~ Rudbeckia fulgida Goldsturm ~ Penstemon strictus, Rocky Mountain Penstemon ~ Thalictrum aquilegiafolium HERBS: ~ Agastache foeniculum, Anise hyssop, Licorice mint ~ Foeniculum vulgare 'Rubrum', bronze fennel (was grown near dill, and apparently they cross!) ~ Common dill! ~ Garlic chives ANNUALS: (but reseed prolifically!) ~ Snapdragons, Mixed colors, 12-24" high ~ Nicandra - 2007 seed No promisesbut Ill try! Skybird P.S. I have you down for the lavender seed, Misty!

Marj, That is a pretty bloom! It could be getting too much sun. I have most of my lilies planted in the ground in a half day of sun. The ones I have potted get about a half day, too. It's tricky getting the light right with other plants in there. We sure haven't had much help from Ma Nature with rain either. I think I'd strip or trim the toasted leaves off, rotate the pot so the lily gets less light if you can or move it to more shade. I don't think the leaves will grow back, so it's probably not going to look too great for the rest of the season. I'm just glad it bloomed. The batch of dahlias and balloon flowers I got this year didn't grow at all and I brought some of them to the spring swap this year, before I knew they were duds. My apologies to any of you that got them! Barb

Good morning everyone! So far I have myself + 12 (Mayberry, ZachS, TreeBarb, GJCore, Oakiris, Mystwoods, B2alicia, LizBest, JoJo, Rossnagl, Neighbor1, Neighbor2). We'll have hamburgers, veggieburgers, hotdogs, potato salad, veggie tray, fruit, beans, artichoke dip, habanero dip, brownies, peach crisp, etc. It's going to be a cool 70 degrees, so please bring layers. We'll move inside if the weather is too cold or inclement. Several of us are either starting or re-doing our flower gardens so it sounds like there's a stron desire for a lot of plants this year! We have a lot of flower plants and I hope we get a lot of veggie plants too this year. It looks like we'll have, depending on hail damage, snapdragons, thyme, coleus, oregano, leeks, Spanish onion seedlings, roses, bell peppers, chicks/hens, basil, peonies, baby Shasta daisies, Campanula poscharskyana, Serbian Campanula, Shasta Daisy, Chrysanthemum maximum 'Becky', Solomon's Seal, Polygonatum odoratum 'Variegatum', Sedum 'Blue Spruce', Sedum pachyclados Flowerless Lamb's Ear, Stachys 'Helene von Stein (a/k/a "big ears"), Turkish Veronica, Veronica liwanensis, Creeping/spreading Veronica, Veronica 'Waterperry', columbine, and quince, etc.
