With tonight being the last night of this swap, make a pitch to 'sell' your best seeds you have left. Something that seems to be overlooked or underrated by most people.

I don't quite have time to look through the whole list again to see what's still out there that I may be missing. If you have pics so much the better!

@RoseA32 how does your amaryllis do overwinter? do you pull it and store it? mulch it heavily? leave it alone?

I usually treat my Amaryllis/Hippeastrum as a houseplant, by having to take it into the house during Winter.
(Both pot and plant.)

Its one of those Hippeastrum that usually appear in stores during Christmas time.
There zones are 9a.

Karen, I have a friend in NC who grows her amaryllis in the ground. She mulches them over the winter to give them extra "make it thru the winter-ness". I think we northerners are destined to grow inside (tho some of my friends move theirs outside in the summer also.
