Can't decide between Stachytarpheta mutabilis or Musa velutina
I need help from the audience.

go with the hardy one for your zone I would choose the Stachytarpheta mutabilis

Alana, I'd like Stachytarpheta mutabilis.

Gotcha.

No, No, No you can't have it No.

sorry, Jay

If you truly want the Stachytarpheta Jay, I think I can scrape a few more off the stalk I got Duane's from. Just let me know, no problem.

If you don't find more, Alana, I can send Jay a few from the pack that I got from Ron last year.
Jay, I also have fresh seeds of the purple Stachytarpheta frantzii available in the swap.

Isn't cleaning Stachytarpheta seed from the stalk a hateful business. I think messing with Malvaviscus may be worse but I'm not sure.

@Horntoad, up to you.

Hmm....... I thought posted a reply last night. I guess I must have been having a senior moment. I will take Cuphea oreophila.

As you wish.

My game: the one who can guess the full name of this plant first, will get a packet seeds of it. It's an annual, so everyone can grow it.
Only play if you want to get seeds of this plant.

I think I know it because I have grown it before and loved it! But I won't guess....unless no one else gets it.

I think that I know, too, since I've grown it before and also loved it. I have seeds saved but they are several years old so I'm not sure if they are still good. Jonna, do you know how long they stay viable at room temp?

Calceolaria, pocketbook plant?

Okay, I'm really torn here. I'd love to grow this one again this year but I don't know if my seeds still have a chance of being viable. I don't want to spoil the game if my seed might still be good, so I've tree-mailed Jonna my answer to the game.

tanacetum vulgare or crispum

Nah, it's lady slipper Mexicana
