@deejay49 - The Lupine came to me in a seed trade (maybe 2009 or 2010) marked as "pink shades." I've never asked for a species ID, though I should. They range from the palest, baby pink to a nice, rose pink and bicolors for good measure. All are harmonizing colors for a pastel landscape - not bold, saturated colors like 'Tutti Frutti.' The not-great photo I (hopefully) uploaded should give a general idea of what I mean.

@MrsBinWY I Have just one Purple Lupine & would love other colors as for Specoes that dose not matter to me as long as I can get to grow in z 5

@luvsgrtdanes : If i find the red I would be happy to share with you &
I Also Love to collect MG so be happy with any

I also raise Slikie & they have the run of my Gardens for the bugs ,
Here is my christmas Baby

@deejay49 I have a lot of morning glories on my list. I have bantam cochin, they have the run of the yard when Winston the wonder chicken chaser is in the house!

Sorry to be redundant, but I am interrupting regularly scheduled programming to post this message on a couple of threads to make sure everyone sees it. I started a thread called It's About Time yesterday. It contains important information for the exact date and time of the start of the swap and how that first day or two happens. If you want to be at the opening gate to get special seeds everyone needs to know what is going on. Erica acknowledged reading it on the thread, but no one else has done that or asked any questions. That may mean everyone understands completely, but I did not the first time and I don't want anyone left out, so on Wednesday if I have not heard from everyone that you are up to speed I'm going to send that information to anyone I have not heard from by email to make sure it is seen. I will be posting more details about how you select what you want and how the swap moves forward from the first day or two until the end of active swapping and beyond.
The thread "It's About Time" in Not from the Seed Rack Seed Swap

Cute chick, Susie.

Mercy sakes! As host I was going to refrain from doing much wish listing, but I just gave the seed list a good going over and I was afraid my mouse would over heat from all that star-clicking.

my clicker is about worn out

I swear it was not all me, but we currently have 781 items on wishlists.

Yes my wish list is already up to 200 I just told my brother Not to take on any xtra work this next spring I will have plenty to keep us busy right out here

It's shaping up to be a wonderful trade

781 wishes, how many seed packs have been listed?

I better start looking! I only have 18 on my wish list as of tonight....

Alana, you crazy lady...click, click, click! It's an illness.

I guess I'll be adding a small trade of RED TITHONIA{ I have to go find them}, it will be fun watching to see who scores them first!

I'll be scanning lists tomorrow so that number will go up a bit i'm sure.

Lisa

Night Susie.
To answer your question Lisa, right now we have 2036 packs of seeds offered, made up of 885 different kinds. 892 have currently been added to wish lists.

Wow impressive!! I am just putting my seeds away from another swap. Tomorrow I will start listing everything I have up for swapping.

Alana can you tell me a bit about your "Solanum villosum, Witch's Tomato' ? My google search showed a few different things

The plants look quite a bit like weeds to me. I guess they are. The leaves are hairy and the taller the plant gets (a couple of feet) the more scraggly it looks. I guess the fact that it was not particularly attractive is why the camera kept moving past it. The fruits are edible, but although I meant to try them I never got around to it. They kind of look like a golden orange version of a sour cherry.
I fancy collecting Solanums, but I have not learned much about this one yet.

Thanks Alana. It seems interesting I like the name

over so many of the new type of Plants I Have to ask Maybe a Stupid ??? But here goes ,
I Have Never Planted many type of salvia 's Because was told it is INVASSIVE ?? Or Many type will not grow in z 5

So I Would like to Know Can I plant & treat as an annual in my z5 will they bloom same season I would really like
To Know some of your favorite type ? before i try this

Susie I've never heard of any being invasive other than maybe because some of the annuals being heavy self seeders.
Not sure about your zone but many are very hardy.

deejay, here is a list of z5 hardy salvias.

There are a ton of annual salvias that are pretty also. My favorite is coral nymph which is being offered in this swap by someone.

Hope this helps
