For those that asked for horn of plenty seeds I'll be mailing them out next week, hopefully monday or tuesday. If anyone wants anything else, here's what I have a bunch of right now: Datura inoxia white moonflower blackberry lily portulaca/moss rose Stella d' oro lily garlic chives dark purple morning glory Wild wildflowers - I gathered these on hikes from wild plants, be careful they might be invasive: White Yarrow Yellow Wooly Mullein Ironweed - tall, bright/deep purple flowers, butterflies like it Cardinal flower - butterflies like it, needs good moisture Honeyvine Milkweed - VERY invasive! |

I would love some of the following... Ironweed - tall, bright/deep purple flowers, butterflies like it Cardinal flower - butterflies like it, needs good moisture I have these to trade... orange butterfly weed (milk weed family) mixed touch-me-nots hardy hibiscus (a bright pink and a white with burgundy eye - mixed) celosia (burgundy leaves and burgundy plume) I also have what we call Indian grass (it is a native prairie grass we have here in Iowa that grows about 4 to 5 foot tall and has a white feathery plume on top - reminds me a small version of pampas grass but is much hardier in zone 5) |

Sure Sassykat, I have more moonflower seeds than I know what to do with. I'm sure there will be a million coming up everywhere next year too! These are the bush, not the vine - I'll attach a pic. I have plain old moss rose right now (portulaca grandiflora) but here in a week or two I'll be getting some of the coolest red portulaca with these great thick heart shaped leaves. I can't for the life of me find it anywhere by name, and the tag where it's growing just says "portulaca". I'll post a pic if anyone wants some. And I'll have a nice peach colored one with round purslane-like leaves too. Attachments:  |

Fairygarden -- yepper, sure did. They're annuals here. They got bigger - over the top of the 6 ft fence before a storm pushed them over. I'll put up a pic from later in the summer. I think these usually wind up growing sidways out of the ground because they get so heavy and seem to have a small root system. When there's rain and the ground gets soft they just leeeeeaaaan until the main stem is along the ground. I've got to say almost everything we had this year got uncommonly big for this area. Our purples (horn of plenty) are about 10 ft now, and those two Siam Queen basils in the left of the picture are touching the post of the bird feeder. I've no idea what that poor little pink thing is down there, but it didn't make it! Attachments:  |

Do they open only at night like the vines? |
