I have some forsythia seeds to trade

I tried these last year to see if they would germinate. It is pretty easy to propagate from cuttings, but more fun to grow your own from seed. Anyone want to trade for any other shrub seeds? The cardinals seem to like the seeds as they were in the bush this morning picking at them.

Windy, this is the first year I have noticed the seeds on mine...they may not have been mature enough till this year, I don't know...but I was very surprised..yes the birds have been in my bushes as well..I am sure someone will want to try these...have you grown bushes that have flowered from the seed? How awesome that would be!

Do you have seeds from any other shrubs, Donna?
No Janet, I haven't had any that are flowering size from seed. It probably would flower, though, I don't see why not. It would probably be something other than the parent plant, which would make it unique also.
