and I'm not sure at all but it looked neat
CLOSED: '09 Fall Frenzy Swap Page #7
and there are more but I can't find the pictures right now
so it wouldn't hurt anyone's feelings then if I made those into a nice little mix?
Wouldn't hurt my feelings :)
and I'd try some.
ok then I got you down for some then...I just hated to throw seeds away just because I didn't know what they were to trade them or give them away! It's the tree hugging dirt worshipper in me! LOL
Be sure to keep some for yourself to plant, ID them next year, then you can trade them by ID next year.
oh I did I kept a little of each one with things to describe it on the package, so I can ID them later, but I just had so many left I was like ok now what do I do with these? LOL Well I am headed to bed, maybe my pain pills will kick in soon!
Mygypsyrose,
Oinking for some of your Climbing Snapdragon (Asarina scandens) the ones in your pics are gorgeous & would look great alongside our shed porch. I'll just have to push the sweet peas over a bit to squeeze them in.
Missed the game but this former city gal has absolutely no knowledge of
piggys.
Lea, sorry about your uncle. Thoughts & prayers going out to you.
I want to know what the other smarter animals are! I put pigs in 5th place... Humans, great apes (chimps, gorillas, 'tangs), cetaceans (dolphins/whales), octopuses, then pigs. You could probably argue the octopus/pig thing either way, as it may be their visual acuity that makes octopi appear smarter.
I wouldn't have won in any event... I got the toes wrong, and pigs aren't quite as fast as I'd have guessed from watching the pig races at the county fair! LOL
Oh, Jill, don't you remember the pigs in Animal Farm? They were the smartest on the farm, so they ended up taking over after the revolt, and acting just like the people did. I was kinda afraid of pigs after reading that, LOL.
They were only smartest because there were no octopuses on the farm.
LOL
Can you tell I was way "into" marine invertebrates?
Yeah, that was a scary book. "Some animals are more equal than others."
It can be argued that cetaceans are smarter than apes and possible even man . They're just so alien to us that we are incapable of measuring their intellect.
Got ya down Cris.
They really are a pretty flower...:-)
Oh, mygypsy, I think I need some of that too. It's so pretty!
Sure thing! lol!
Alrighty. Got all the winners. : )
To thos e of you that thought pigs could fly , well they may in that one commercial, but was nto the right answer. LOL. Had to chuckle at some of the other answers. heheheheh Thanks to all who played.
Here wa s the correct one s I wa s lookign for:
1. boar
2. gilt
3. female pig that has had a litter
4. Pigs rank #4
5. grunt (or oink)
6. more tolerant of cold
7. sweat glands
8. True
9. C. Both
10. Two (for walking).
11. C. 7
Nice game Star.
tcs, I'm oinking for the Asclepias curassavica, I found a site that says hummers like it as well as monarchs.
Ok, I've not even got out of bed yet, and I'm wallowing around in the seeds! Ansofan, you have dmail!
Now, I'd best be getting my daughter up for school...
Thanks for the game Star..It was quiet informative to learn that pigs are good for something besides making bacon...oink oink...
Trina.... for number two image... i have some Agastaches that look like that. I'd have to see the foliage of that plant. if there are still leaves... rub them and see if there is a nice fragrance.
For those that Dmailed me... gotcha covered, and list updated.
Mygypsyrose, if you still have some Asarina seeds, I'd love a pinch too :-)
Is that asarina a vine?? it is a beautiful color....
Mygypsyrose,
sometimes all you have to do is post a pretty picture & voila' !
that was a pretty picture
Hmmmm pretty pictures well how about this one? I'm trying to decide if the red cockscomb in this picture is the regular or giant ones. Anyone know?
Lol Cris, A pretty picture definitely did the trick!
Gemini....I'm getting you marked now
Gen... Yes it is a vine. I grow it in a pot and overwinter it. It was loaded with blooms this year. It's hardy to zone 9. You can grow it as an annual also. Just, grow a few because they don't get very big the first year.
Pretty cockscomb Mindy
Yes, that is pretty! I don't know if those are 'giant' or not... But I'm glad that I saw the whole plant. I have some cockscomb here and I have not grown it yet. But, your flower heads are huge when I see them on the whole plant! I'm going to have to grow them next spring for sure...
Mindy, that cockscomb sure looks giant to me!
Uggh. Parkseed is having a pretty good sale, ends tonight, if anyone's interested. I went ahead and ordered a shrub I've been wanting, and some of my supplies for spring at the same time. A $50 order costs over $24 in shipping, and I'm within about 1 1/4 hrs of them! If only I though that's because the shrub is huge... hah!
Oinking is WAY more fun! (and cost-effective ;-)
Mindy, from the height and head size, I think that is the big Cockscomb you've got there.
Thanks Andrea! I grew Asarina once before and loved them. I wonder if there's any way to overwinter them indoors?
Do you have a greenhouse that you overwinter in?? I would love to try a few seeds if you still have plenty. I am pretty sure that I ordered a different asarina last year in the seed coop but I didn't have any luck with germination.
I don't have a greenhouse so guess I would either have to store in my garage or start over every year!
Genna
I sure wish I had a greenhouse! I grew some as annuals before, didn't even know they were a tender perennials.
I'm using evil plant person tactics to get him to finish the greenhouse he started to build last winter, basically taking over any flat surface in the house, including laying plywood over the couch and then burying it in plants! LOL
;-) I like that...
some times we just got to do what we just got to do...LOL sad part is that's just houseplants I haven't even started my tropical seeds yet...I can't wait to get started on those
dang wasnt looking at list and missed out on the japanese morning glories.
hmph hehehe been dealing with sickness lately so havent been watching.
Are Japanese MG seeds still good if they had frost before turning brown and drying out? I have quite a few pods on Indigo Feather that are drying now, and what I've gathered look good. I'm curious because I've got Moon vine growing next to them that had such big developing pods, that now feel mushy. They're a lot bigger, and take longer to dry out- I wonder if they should be gathered while green before frost?
mine that I gathered that were green before the frost never ripened just turned to dust
mushy means the MGs got frosted.. if they are still firm & now brown/mature, they should be fine.
I think the best bet with the moonflower is too cut the whole vine down when frost is coming and put in a protected spot to leave for awhile and sometimes the seeds will develop.
I think if the mgs developed they are fine.
