Karen,

I would love to receive some of your MG seeds! I'm brand new to flower gardening - always a veggie gardener - and love MGs!

Sending you a d-mail!

Thanks - Kelly

Hello!

I've been signed up for more than a year, but I just started my garden 6 months ago. Does that count? :) I grew my first MGs this year and I'm in love with them, and I'm trying to build a collection for next year.

I do have a few things to trade if you want to take a peek at my "have" list. :)

Thanks!

-Pony

Sure! Send Dmail. 3 more to go... :)

Oh man That is a great deal.... Boo hoo newbie to posting hahahhaha

Tee hee, can I quit and re-subscribe? (just kidding!) Can I ask a question tho? What variety is a dwarf hanging basket type? I'm not familiar with those, but I think I'd like to be! Could you please post a link to an example of that type?

Ha that`s funny. :) Sure, that dwarf hanging basket variety is called Sunsmile. The ones I`m sending are mostly chocolate but they have some that showed up pink.

Here they are in plant files. These grow down trailing out of the hanging baskets and are some of my favorites. Some of mine trailed to the ground and I had to trim them. The foliage is nice and the flowers are small but they are really cute. Karen

Okay, one left. Drum roll please!

Karen

I would love more MG

You got it DIRTYGIRL. I just need your mailing address.

The thread is closed. Thanks everybody. :)

Kelly,

I just realized you are from Arizona. I can`t mail these to you because it is illegal and I could get in trouble since it is illegal to send them there. I`m sorry. :(

I can`t send morning glory seeds but I`ll send you something else nice from my seedbox instead.

Karen

Very responsible Karen! Keep sharing with them newbies... It is so fun to see how they bloom differnetly across the states. My white hige feather I grew has purple streaks in it this year...hahahah Dont ya love cross pollination sometimes.... The frost just hit it too...So much for seeds from it, it was neat to see..... Barb

Hi Barb,

I love all of them! Thanks! Karen

Hi back at ya Karen! It was a bad year here for them... Always next year... Cracking up that is what keeps us going right? hahahhahaha

Hi Karen!

No worries! I don't want you to get into any trouble, especially since you're so generous to share your seeds with newbies! I will very much appreciate whatever you send me!

Kelly

Illegal? WOW...

How did you find out that they were illegal in AZ? Is there a list somewhere?

http://www.azda.gov/PSD/quarantine5.htm

It is prohibited to Send them into the state from somewhere else. They are also controlled within the state. There are a few exceptions but nils and purpureas are not exceptions on the list. It is a bummer but that is how it is. Karen

Kind of hard to imagine nils as a noxious weed, huh?

True indeed. :)

It is in the mail with Delivery Confirmation on October 9 2009 everybody. :)

Hugs to you Karen for taking such good care of the newbies...:) You deserve a kudos!!!!

Thank you. :)

You are welcome! :)

Hi moretz,

I`m cleaned out of trade seeds and taking a break. Thanks for the offer. Be sure to participate in Becky`s seed trade and also there is a give away for SASE going to be on the seed trade forum before too long.

Karen

ok great thxs so much

In response to the first message:
What on earth is a 'Hanging Basket' Type MG??? Is there any vars. on the PFs?

Ha, ha should have read the whole thread. I asked the same question; they're an I. nil called Sunsmile. Here's the link again:

http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/49887/

The Sunsmile and Kawaii (are both in plant files) do excellent in a hanging basket. There is another trailing type that has a larger flower offered by tasteclectic on ebay that did very well in a hanging basket though I don`t have seeds from that one. They trail downward and don`t climb. Karen

Edited: Here is alink to another example in addition to Sunsmile,Kawaii and the Trailing one offered on ebay.

http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/170663/

I don`t remember the exact name of the trailing one offered on ebay. Colin showed pictures in a thread he did of that one recently.

You Can grow these and let them crawl on the ground but I think they are healthier and prettier if allowed to trail from a shelf planter or hanging basket.
