It won't last long because I want to mail my seeds tomorrow, but a couple of quick games could net players an extra pack or two. I'm making it easy on both of us by using my goofs and making entry a simple guess.
Bring your own refreshments.

I'm going to treemail the answers to @ishareflowers as I post so I don't get mixed up. Smiling

I am always dropping seeds and seedling trays. I would have a much harder time finding places to grow if I didn't accidentally cull my favorites before I can get them out to the garden.

When gathering seeds for this swap, I collected seeds of my favorite version of Ipomoea quamoclit, Cypress Vine; the white one. It goes with everything.
I cleaned them as I collected them in an envelope and as soon as I was done, I dropped the envelope. When I picked it up, there were not really enough seeds for a proper trade of this fairly common and easy to grow plant.
So, before 2 pm, guess how many seeds were left in the envelope when I picked it up. The closest guess gets those seeds.

6 - but if I'm right, give them to the next closest guesser, as I already have a pack of mixed color ones. Big Grin

Congrats Mollie. You win this round. I saved just 10 seeds and they now belong to you.

2nd round was not my fault. Really it wasn't. I ordered seeds for myself, with enough to share in the swap. When I opened the pack to make up a pack for the swap, I found that it did not contain the advertised number, so I didn't list them.

The seeds are not Marigolds or Zinnias, and they are not hard to find, but they are not as commonly grown. I didn't think I had enough to share for a dib, so I decided not to list them. The plant is Berkheya 'Zulu Warrior'. To win these seeds, how many were too few to list?
Purple Berkheya (Berkheya purpurea 'Zulu Warrior')
Guess until 7:00 pm.
