I thought I would start this thread so we could post if there was a specific kind of seeds you are looking for.
I am looking for Coleus seeds. I am going table arrangements and bouquets for my grandson's wedding in August and thought they would be a wonderful filler leaf. She has picked bright colored zinnia so I was looking for the the green and white varieties.

I never thought to save coleus seed. I take cuttings every fall from coleus and grow them inside under lights. Next year I will try to save some of their seeds too!

Hi Y'all

I'm looking for tulsi and chamomile tea seed
herbs, chervil or really anything.

Zinnias, Dahlias, sunflowers or anything

I had purchased a fair amount of new beautiful seeds, somehow all those beautiful little babies were confused as trash. Y'all I had cupcake zinnias and fun cosmos. please tell me someone else can relate to this tiny disappointment.

Amewis yes, I can relate too! I remember when my helpful teenager "cleaned the kitchen" Blinking

Toni, I meant to share with you in the last swap the flowers that surprisingly had made great arrangements for my brother's wedding in September..

Hostas blooms! (Chosen out of pure panicked desperation as we realized the tables were flowerless the day before the wedding). I don't know if you have access to a variety that flowers, but mine were on long, elegant stalks and they held up beautifully. (Might look crazy paired with zinnia's tho). Anyways, Coleus sounds like a gorgeous filler with zinnia's. The blooms or seed heads of Jewels of Opar might make a good filler too (maybe for the spill). How fun!

Lisa,
That photo makes you are the envy of all the traders! But I understand the scramble.
Marnie,
What a great idea, I am using white hydrangea on the corners of the arches that they are getting married under by a huge pond. I think the lavender hosta flowers would look lovely in the swags especially the trailing ends. I guess those hostas will not be dug up and moved this year!
