  Seeds that I have for trade:
  
  Freshly Harvested from 2008 Garden
  
• 'Snowball' Feverfew
• Golden Feverfew
• Evergreen Candytuft a perennial candytuft that blooms white, and quite early in the spring. It took awhile to bloom, but now it is lovely.
• Larkspur mix...combo of white, purple with blue flashing, and 'Earl Grey'. I'd say the purple in this mix is the most dominant.
• Poppy Somniferum Mix of pinks and purples...some singles, some doubles/ruffles. May have some others mixed in.
• Painted Daisy Mix in pink, magenta, and hot pink. A profuse early spring bloomer; also has feathery foliage that lasts after the flowers are spent. I've been growing this for many years.
• Gaillardia 'Burgundy', perennial, rusty/burgundy red; another marathon bloomer from spring until autumn. Needs some staking.
• Oriental Poppy Mix in shades of crimson, orange, red-orange, and a pretty pinky-red. This is a perennial poppy that is probably my favorite Springtime flower. Huge bowls of color on tall, furry stalks. Neat pods that remain after the flower has bloomed.
• Tall, Hot Pink Catchfly, a mass of these flowers looks lovely in the Spring, but it is a heavy reseeder. It does well in almost any soil. I've grown it for many years now, whether I like it or not. : )
• California Poppy in an orangey-yellow. May have some white/cream CA poppies mixed in.
• From 2007 Garden:
• Bachelor's Buttons in an electric shade of blue; lasts throughout the spring and into mid-summer.
• 'Shirley' Poppy Mix includes reds and pinks
• Plum poppies...single with a black center
• Double Pink Peony Poppy...very frilly
• 'Danish Flag' Poppy
• Poppy Somniferum Mix , definitely includes double peony in red and pink, Danish Flag, a single purple (possibly 'Lauren's Grape'), frilly red with black center, and others. This combination was gorgeous, and I look forward to seeing it again next Spring!
• Purple Larkspur with blue flashing
• Calendula---mix of mostly yellows
• Butter Daisy/Melampodium
• Echinacea---Purpley-Pink petals on spiky, dominant centers. Long-lasting blooms and heat tolerant.
• Rudbeckia "Goldstrum", perennial, yellow/orange petals with black center; really showy and sturdy. I purchased this plant from 'Bluestone Perennials' a few years back....it was well worth it.
• Rudbeckia 'Glorisa'...bicolor of brown and yellow
• Morning Glory...mix of mostly 'President Tyler' and lavenders/pinks
• 'Colorado' Yarrow Mix
• Hollyhock---single in carmine red/pink
• Double violet peony hollyhock
• "Tea Time Rose" Four o' Clock, very romantic looking bushy flowers in a sweet pink color.
• Fragrant Four o' Clock in mix of dappled yellow with red, single pink, and single red. It smells very lovely like honeysuckle...especially in the early evening.
• Common Cosmos, most resembles 'Sonata' series, but quite tall; it was part of a wildflower mix, colors include: magentas, whites, pinks, pinks with magenta center. Another great plant in drought conditions, another heavy self-seeder. And a lovely cut flower in mass.
• Gerbera Daisy Mix...red, bicolors, pink, and apricot
• Double, Peony-shaped, Violet Hollyhock , this hollyhock is a shorter variety, very delicate. It seemed to have a later, but long blooming time.
• Single Maroon Hollyhock , very tall, nice dark red cups with yellow stamen center. Needs staking.
• Blue-Eyed African Daisy , perennial or so I've heard. This was my first year planting these, and they were utterly gorgeous. Drought-resistant and not fussy at all once established.
• 'Chat Noir' Scabiosa , a dark burgundy-purple that has bits of white in the center. It bloomed well into the fall and produced a mass of seeds.
• Kiss Me Over the Garden Gate, needs cold stratification
• Amaranthus Caudatus or Love Lies Bleeding, annual, very tropical and interesting, like fuschia elephant trunks. Said to make a great dried flower too. And kids love to play with it!
• 'Pink Star' Morning Glory
• Morning Glory Mix in purples and purple/whites, definitely includes 'President Tyler' and 'Pink Star'.
• Nicandra/Apple of Peru
• Purple Wisteria
• Sunflower mix, mostly varied yellows and yellow oranges, different sizes; these types actually were grown from 'Evening Sun' Sunflower packet.
• Hollyhock Mix --mostly doubles, includes 'Chater's Double' Apricot, 'Summer Carnival' mix in pink, rosey red and yellow, some single burgundy, and others that were collected from the farmer's plants.
• Four o' clocks mix (yellow, light yellow, fuschia, pink, minimal white), annuals, self-seeder. To my surprise, the flower does NOT open at four o'clock....more like 9AM.
• Alyssum 'Royal Carpet', very drought tolerant, light purples and white; self seeds very well. Fragrant.
•

• And truly, anything I don't have. I'm open to lots and lots!
• Starting to dabble in vines too.
• Beginning to experiment with irises and lilies...an entirely new adventure.
• I do like scented things; lemon balm is my favorite. English wallflower and scented four 'o clocks are just lovely!
• In addition, I adore roses, but find them quite challenging...and haven't had much time to research what it is that their fickle little hearts desire.
• Also seem to have a thing for wacky plants, especially ones that entertain children. And if you're wondering, that would be snapdragons, which can be made to 'talk', Amaranthus that become elephant trunks, abundant small, flowering plants that can be turned into imaginary 'chicken feed'.
