| Yes, the drawing draws nigh. Thanks to generous gifts of acorns from wonderful folks on this site, I have enough to share with you. I will exchange 5 acorns (enough for a ticket) to the first 20 that post a picture (or pictures) of plants they have received as gifts or exchanges from this community. I'll start (I've already got 10 tickets)  : Verbascum 'Snowy Spires' : Salvia 'Coral Nymph' : White NOID peonyThank you to all the gifters (and yes, exchangers are generous gifters!) on this website! |

| Please save the acorns for others, I have enough. But I do want to show a few of many plants that came from members here at NGA. Some were gifted and others were from trades. I love this community. This is just a drop in the bucket of plants that were either bought, traded or gifted by our members. |

| Ooh - that hellebore is gorgeous! I've always gone for the single darks, but, Wow! And I love onions, but they keep getting away from me. Though I've always wanted a Schubertii... Thanks for sharing these! It's hard to pick just a few to post, isn't it? |

From seed sent by a generous NGA member - Red Texas Star hibiscus: From seed from the NGA "Not from the seedrack" seed swap - Blue River II seedling:  Another Blue River II seedling from seed from another generous NGA member:  There are many more, but the photos are gone with the previous cell phone that I dropped and broke. |

| Hi pdermer1x. The allium posted above does not seem to set seed and show up everywhere. Very well behaved. |

Diana -Beautiful whites - so clear! And the red is lovely. Lynn--Unfortunately, I've had experience with plants that struggled in one of my former gardens just take over elsewhere. I'll be happy to enjoy your allium pictures from afar! (want some voodoo lily, crocosmia, iris tectorum....?)   |
