Vewwwwwy interesting about what numbers can tell; I hope everyone experiencing a wee bite toward hosting future swaps follows through.

I'm interrupting to pedal some of my offerings - I've had very few bites on "black" flowers, but hope to guide anyone reading this toward 5 more packs of Papaver somniferum 'Black Swan' that I just added, as well as to 4 packs of Dianthus 'Black & White Minstrels' that have been languishing.

I always send a larger quantity than I list, and the yellow Zahara zinnias made such a thick, low colony by a gate opposite a gold-leaved Tradescantia (don't know current name). This was a pale, lunar yellow which contrasted nicely with dark, saturated orange colors in the vicinity.

Returning y'all to the previous program.

Oops - forgot to say that these Zahara zinnias were disease free all season, right up until frost. I can't grow any zinnias other than Profusion & Zahara because our summer humidity is too kind to powdery mildew in other zinnias around here.

You talked me into the Poppy.

thanks bluespiral I wanted the black swan to go with my white swan!

Someone needs to dib on 1 of my items to keep me at taking 1/2 of what I gave....Yes, I caved in AGAIN!

Yay, Lisa! Self-control is way overrated anyway.

Well, if you insist, Lisa

@ishareflowers I bid on a couple because I'm an enabler!!! I'm just trying to stay equal to what I sell. Very hard to do since there is wonderful seeds out.

Tonight is the last night tickets will be awarded and the swap will close tomorrow evening at 7 eastern, so if you want more seeds select them before then. Most people have lots of leftover tickets, 780 total out there unspent to be exact.

Going to put some more seeds out about 9 am PST. Make sure you to a look, Lisa.

Okay, I've just scheduled a lunch date with Duane's seed list!

I was in time to snag a pack, Promise has been adding a lot of seeds, too, especially pumpkins and the like.
I won't be here this evening or probably in the early morning either; back mid-morning tomorrow, I hope.
Have a good afternoon and evening.

Good grief, I was going to limit myself to around 30 packs and now I'm at almost twice that!

Mmm, I really enjoyed that first course, Duane! I got some caviar quality seeds! Thanks!

Anything for dessert???

Danita--haven't tried to germinate the 'Guanajuato' seeds yet. Hope they will germinate for you. Sorry, didn't have very many to share. I thought you were bringing the dessert?

What the heck!

I decide to show some restraint when some great seeds were posted.

I'll be heading in there to peek at what is left

Lisa really caved --- Good job !

Duane, Thank you for rubbing it in

If anyone really wanted something and missed it please let me know and I will add it to your package if I still have some seeds left of it. I am done packing and ready to mail so post by tomorrow early morning.

I have had a blast doing this swap! Thank you to everyone that shared a piece of their garden or seed stash with me. It might take me a couple of years but I will grow them out and share seeds in the future.

Thank you Alana for coming up with this one!

Lisa

@ishareflowers
Lisa, the swap doesn't end until tomorrow at 7pm EST so don't seal up your box yet!

Danita I would have sealed up my package and mailed at 8am tomorrow!
