I have lots of extras. I live in upstate New York. Would love to exchange for something new or that I dont have. This is what I have. I could look for packs of something someone is looking for too. White Moon flower (the one that looks like Easter Lily), Purple Moon flower (same kind except ruffled inside), white pumpkin, purple larkspur, purple zinnia, (can you tell I love purple yet?) bells of ireland, orange cosmos, pink and orange low growing zinnias(they are similar size and spread of marigolds), also chleome (pk and mauve color), pampas grass, and purple cone flower. Happy planting!! Cant wait for may to get everything in the ground!

I'd join in as well, but I think your Customs Dept. might have something to say about that!

No doubt about that!!!! I guess there are good reasons to be safe. I live and work near Canadian border at a flower shop, and the Canadian wholesalers always have to go through a lot to get to us. Have a good one

Maybe Mrs D will reply. I didn't get a chance to save any seeds last year, cux I was pretty busy with the grandbaby. And Usually I just kind of crumple the dried pods into the ground in the fall and let nature take it's course.

Good luck with yours - and we'll want to see garden pix this summer.

I didn't get to save much last year.. in fact I had to buy some
from Ebay.

But... If I get alot of allium's... do you want some? I can save those heads. They are easy to grow from seed but take 2-3 years to get the big heads. I discovered this a few years ago.
I deadheaded many so the bulbs would not deplete and threw the heads behind a tree across the street. I also did the same in
the back yard. And then one year we were greeted with a huge volunteer stand of them where I discarded the seed heads!

Considering what they cost per bulb in the stores (around $5 each) it is worth a try. So this year I bought a hybrid seed from Ebay and have them in the frig for cold stratification.

If they sprout, I will try the other half (I bought 50)

So anyone here who wants allium seed--- I'll save them for you this season!

I am not sure my seeds will be this big...but they are close and very nice anyway! There are several types. The ones I have in the frig are these biggies. But those won't bloom for 2 seasons if they germinate for me.

I can also save Rose Campion....My husband can dead head the first wave before he comes up on vacation to join me.

It is the hot pink/red flower in this picture. It is semi wild looking and fits in nicely height wise and type if you like wild flower effects.
This is my favorite and easy from seed too. Will self sow if conditions are right. I had to buy more seed this season, but we can try and save ours for anyone here.
I grew 8 plants on vacation last summer and there is a picture of them in my profile album with a toad who was living in one of the pots! I brought these 8 home and put them in my front garden, which is also in the profile pictures. I have a couple of the Campion posted there too. They are very hardy, can stand dry conditions, and will rebloom if you dead head them. And if you do NOT deadhead them treat them as biennials. I have a few coming back this spring that are 3 yrs old now...so dead heading extends them nicely. I used to replant all the time, from seed. All of my campions came from 2 plants I bought at a nursery as an experiment about 5 yrs ago. I really like them.

Dear Mrs. D, I would love some allium. Are you looking for anything in particular that I could trade. Please let me know. I have some of the newer king tut grass or the fiber optic grass also. I could pack it up now and get it to you. Lupine? (Purp) A great dark magenta colored phlox? Red hot poker? Let me know. I have many gardens at my home and landscape for a few people up on escarpement in Lewiston NY. Its about 15 miles from my home. The greatest view around here. One couple lets me plant anything I want. They just want it to look beautiful without getting their hands dirty. They really dont know what they're missing. I dont consider these side jobs, jobs at all. You know how it is if your a gardener!! Get back to me, Cindy
