I'm looking for: helenium, aquilegia, echinacea seeds.
Do you still have some and want to get rid of them: Any species or colour will do!
I have quite an extensive seed list. You will find it here: http://www.freewebs.com/garden-gnomes-adventures/seedlists.htm.
There just might be something there that interests you.
If you would like to trade, please let me know!
Looking for: helenium, aquilegia, echinacea seeds
Your list does not come up. I have helenium's and will look and see if the seed is ripe. OK?
Maxine
Gerris and Maxine, you have d-mail!
The Blue Ceanothus seeds you sent recently germinated and I am so happy! I would like to receive more if you have them. And I can come up with all 3 of the seed type you want. I have a large amount of Echinacea angustifolia.
Kim, what is angustifolia echinacea? It thought I knew all the varieties of echinacea?
Are you saving seeds from this plant or do you have pics. of it? I am going to save seeds of Cherry Brandy rudbeckia as it came back here in my climate. Gorgeous coloration of flowers.

Maxine,
It's also know as Narrow-leaved Coneflower. Widely used for Tea/medicinal Properties...If interested LMK

Can someone tell me what exactly helenium seed looks like? Are all of the little sticks on the central dried flower ball the seed, because I couldn't find anything else? And has anyone grown them from seed? I have wondered if they're fertile, as with all of the hundreds of flowers, none has ever self-seeded in my yard, to my knowledge.
I have Rubenzweig and another red one, though I don't know which is which, and Mardi Gras.(planted together, so may have crossed) I also have a columbine mix, as likely many have cross-pollinated in my yard, and some biedermeier mix from a friends yard.
Kim, in other words it like the old fashioned cone flower or echinacea? Some of my newer ones are blossoming now and they are not what I ordered. Blossom is like the old fashioned ones.
As to seeds of the helenium, will try and check later to day and see if the seed head is dry enough to gather and then will take pics to post on here.
Maxine
Ummm I'm not sure...as far as the Old fashioned..Just by the different species.
Kim, you have d-mail!
