Thanks Jonna,I'm looking mostly for ones w/ foliage color and postage would be tad high just for the Samobor. Thanks for replying.

You're also looking for the Primula capitata and the Primula veris Sunset shades, I have them too. As well as Mimilus cardinalis that's on your want list. I have seeds of Seseli gumniferum too, but they are from 2008. They should be viable until at least 2011.

I have in state sources for those should I not be able to trade for them.

Okay, it's clear to me.

Ashdown, AR(Zone 8a)

Thanks for responding.

Why are you thanking me for responding? I noticed you don't want to trade with me, I offered you some 'most wanted seeds' but you never responded. It's not the first time I offered you seeds you were looking for, but you always said no, not giving me any explanation. I would really like to know why.

Well,here's another post going ugly.

Sorry if I upset you. I don't recall ever "not responding" but if I did it was because of an oversight or maybe I was posting a trade and you were looking to sell. I could understand your being upset if I had ever cheated you. I am on a fixed income and try to suppliment our retirement income w/ selling plants at a local farmer market. I do buy as many seeds wholesale(from the US) in several hundreds to several thousand count per variety as my resources will allow then post my surplus for trading of other seeds to make my seed budget stretch.


I hope that's explaination enough for you but if not...I haven't cheated you in way so I owe you no other explaination.

Utt Ohhhh here I go with my 2 cents...chuckling

Peggy,
I think what Jonna is implying: "She has many seeds on your WANT list" and would be happy to share them with you. Even if you had nothing in return as she does with many other people wanting seeds from her. Therefore with this in mind...maybe what you are wanting really isn't that important or there are other reasons why you wouldn't let her send you these seeds YOU WANT. Yes you are correct for not "owing her an explanation" as nobody needs to take anything from anyone thy don't want. But there are people who are looking for things..Post for it. Then when offered it says "No Thank You" So it just raises an eyebrow.

A certain person kept Posting for a certain plant. So finally I said I would send her 3 of each beautiful plants I had. Then she wasn't interested. But I've been around here for a long time and have seen just about everything. Therefore wasn't offended and could care less..More of My plant for me.

As for myself if I Post for wanting something. I REALLY want it. Therefore whoever has it doesn't matter to me. It's something I want.

Ashdown, AR(Zone 8a)

OK..fair enough. Although I have trade out of US,I don't often because of the postage.
Not trying to pull a fast one on anyone....not wanting something for nothing.

Let's just let it go and I will post no more Wants or Haves to Seed or Plant Exchanges on DG so no more eyebrows will be raised..."nuff said

Peggy, I really don't know why you think I tried to sell those seeds to you. When did I ask you to pay for them?
And I'm not upset, but was just wondering why you never wanted to trade with me.
As far as I'm concerned, this thread can be closed.

Maybe because there are no geranium on your "Exchange Only" page and you never mentioned you were willing to trade for anything on your seeds for sell list for anything I have.

Let's just write it off as a mis-comunication and let it rest.

Büllingen, Belgium(Zone 6b)

It's sure a mis-communication, because it's on my homepage that the seeds are also for trade. The 'Exchange only'
seeds are seeds that I didn't harvest myself.

Ashdown, AR(Zone 8a)

Let it go
