It's good to 'see' you Lisa and thanks for the post!
There will be additions (of course) but here's a start:

Tropaeolum/Nasturtium 'Double Delight Cream'
Zinnia elegans 'Meteor' (also known as 'Monarch King', though I've never seen it offered under that name)

I know this swap is for named varieties but thought I'd put some other wants here, too:

Any hardy-to-zone-5 cactus
Antirrhinum molle
Cedronella canariensis
Cynoglossum officinale
Galactites tomentosa~purple and/or white
Persicaria amplexicaulis
Telekia speciosa

By all means, list your unnamed wants, too! Off the top of my head, my tall mixed snapdragons have been beautiful this year (red, pink, yellow, white and bicolor), and I should have several packs of those. Last year's phlox drummondii, again, mixed, will be nice, too. And as I go through and figure out what are unnamed mixes like that, I'll list them, so you can send me a treemail if you would like me to include them with your other pickings at the end of the swap.

I bet I will think of some wishes, but right now I am still overwhelmed with the amount of seeds I already have!

@evelyninthegarden I have seeds for Aquilegia Red Hobbit instead of Little Lanterns. So red/white instead of red/yellow. Would you like me to list it?

I'm 90% sure I had seeds for Aster alpinus but I can't seem to find them anywhere. If I can find where I stashed them I'll list them.

Elena ~ Thank you so much for the offer. I am putting them in a red, orange and yellow bed, "The Hot Bed".

Do they bloom early? I could put them in with Estella Rijnveld tulips. (That would be "smashing"!)

They are my husbands favorites so I usually get some each year, as they are not perennial for me.

I haven't grown these yet. My wintersowing containers have been raided by squirrels the past 2-3 years. I also only grow Darwin tulips & not many of those. So I'm not sure if they would bloom at the same time. They would look wonderful together!

Would there be any interest in Japanese Morning Glories from Ebay? I have some packs of stuff leftover that I am not going to sow again and thought maybe I would list them...I have a lot on my plate right now and don't want to bother (I hate the way we have to list seeds one at time with all that clicking Whistling ) if there isn't any real interest.

Ronnie and anyone else ~ Am I the only one who may dislike the way the database is set up?

IMHO, it should be Latin names first, then common names. Currently, this is how some names are listed:

Breadseed Poppy (Papaver somniferum 'Hungarian Blue'
Hummingbird Mint (Agastache cana)
Sunset Hyssop (Agastache rupestris 'Apache Sunset ')
Floss Flower (Ageratum houstonianum)
Kidney Vetch (Anthyllis vulneraria)
Pot Marigold (Calendula officinalis)
Toadflax (Linaria maroccana) Heavenly Mix

I find that I spend more time trying to see if my listing took, as..."Where is it?" Does anyone else agree? I'm going to make a request of Dave to get this corrected. (I just hope he doesn't ask me to volunteer for the job!) Hilarious!

I don't like the way the Database lists things either...that's why I didn't use it this time.

Isn't this a "Gardening Website"? Shouldn't it be consistent? And should we advertise the "Opium Poppies"?

Poppies (Papaver)
Oriental Poppies (Papaver orientalis)
Opium Poppy (Papaver somniferum)
Peony Poppy (Papaver somniferum 'Black Paeony)
Poppy (Papaver 'Lilac Pompom') btw...is a somniferum.

If you look at the poppy category, for instance, you will notice it is in "a bit" of disarray. 16 pages of poppies... it would be easier if they were in botanical order...do you agree?

I've broached this issue before, Evelyn. The responses to me and others I have seen have always been that it is too hard to put things to rights and there is not time for such a massive and disruptive undertaking. I always ignore the database listings if possible. My mind is disordered enough this last decade to wade through common names. If you search botanically, you do arrive at the correct plant, in my experience, but it is an awkward approach.
