Please keep this thread for seeds that you wish you had but don't.

Feel free to make other threads for anything you would like to chat about.

I'll start:
Perennial geraniums, especially Geranium versicolor because I have yet to be able to get those seeds to germinate!

I've changed my wishlist as this year has proven to me that I'm not able to keep up with a lot of gardening. So I'm going to focus on seeds for plants I can grow indoors. I'm looking for dwarf plants (preferably flowering) that can be grown under lights.

Right now indoors I have African violets, orchids, Asarina, Nicotiana, Streptocarpus, climbing petunia, Christmas cactus, boston fern, perennial geranium, calendula and daylilies. Basically anything under a foot that doesn't need tons of actual sunlight and doesn't mind some humidity (for the orchids) I can grow.

For Karen's seeds I'd like any dwarf flowers and/or houseplants.

Okay, I will put together a wish list, even though I think I have all the seeds in the world, lol. Fragrant roses, preferably from floribundas, grandifloras, David Austen, or maybe hybrid teas. Since I have a healthy Henry Kelsey grown from this swap's last year's seeds - and it has bloomed red! - I'm having fun with this. Would love whites, yellows, reds, bicolors, others. You never know what you'll get with roses grown from seed.

And I am a sucker for calendulas, snapdragons, easy flowers and anything (except trees) non-invasive that will take the humid Florida heat. French or Spanish lavender, too.

For Karen's giveaway I'd love any flowers because my kids love planting flowers. Pink is a huge hit with my kids. Herbs for my son's garden he's made in the woods (I know it sounds weird and I said it'd never work… but things are growing lol.. it's in a clearing. Really anything they can tinker with that keeps them out of my things. I have six kids aged 15 to 2 and all but two love gardening 😂
