Highlands Ranch, Colorado (Zone 5b) Colorado Zone 5
I will try to add my herbs and flowers tomorrow. I ran out of time last night I didn't talk to hubby until 10:30
@vma4922 is your Rose A Sharon light lavender? (Light purple). How do you find the seeds on them? We have a light pink and a dark purple. But with soooo many bees and wasps on them I wouldn't be able to self pollinate them!
Planting them and growing them is what their for Where a Lot of mine are still also , growing or planted
Most anything I have is already on the lists from others or myself
i will look again , maybe their are more
In the Butterfly garden if a plant is not chewed up I feel like a failure
Cheryl, the RoS I have listed were from a trade. The flowers dry and sfter, you get a brown seed pod..like a hibiscus if you've seen them. Sometimes they don't dry til late fall and I miss them. They are fairly large...maybe the size of a medium acorn--??
If there is any interest in a Southern Giant curled Mustard or a wild Black Mustard ,I have enough to do a couple small offers ? I am not going to rush to do them unless someone really wants them ,

Elena... Can you point in the right direction for collecting ageratum seed? This is my first year collecting it and my flowers are still blooming. No dying off yet. I'm just afraid I will lose the seed. I have the blue hawaii and would like to have it again next year. Thanks!
Stupid question, but I've gone over all the FAQ's and it says before, during, after, but it doesnt say what happens at 12 midnight GMT....
Where Do I go? To my wish list?
And how to I bid/take an item I want?
Go to your wish list and wait....once swapping starts (in about 5 minutes now), you will see a treasure chest icon. Click that to make a dib on an item. You may have to refresh the screen. Good luck!
okay, well now I feel silly....apparently it's in an hour and 5 minutes. I just re-checked my GMT calculator. Ah well....guess I"ll get all crazy in an hour, then!...
I was going to say...NOTHING's happening, and I WAS confused about the time, too...They said -4 hours, which for me is 8pm; BUT I didnt know how daylight savings time affected that.
@KarenHolt, I had problems figuring that out. From what I can tell the seed looks a lot like chaff. The flower heads will turn brown. The seeds aren't ready until you tug gently on the brown heads and get something in your fingers. It really doesn't look like seed to me. I tried to check it against the seed I planted but it was pelleted. I had to search the Internet for pictures of the seed. I saw something similar to what I collected so that must be it.
Thanks. I'm also collecting pentas for the first time this year too. I bought a deep red one this year and I just really don't want to lose that one. I thought about making cuttings but no room in the house. Plus the baby will destroy it. So, hopefully, I'll manage to get both this year. I had wanted to offer them here but they are still blooming. Those two are some of the last of my garden. I suppose I will have these until Oct. Yay!
I wanted to offer Dahlia seed but my first flowers are only now just starting to die. I have a yellow tinged pink and a deep red one. I really hope I can get some seed from them.
I hope you get that Pentas seed. That's one plant I've been meaning to grow for years now.
