I have a few trades of these guys that were just harvested and cleaned. I not sure which ones they are. Below is the pic I took when they was first coming up in the yard in the spring. They not ony pretty, but are food for the monarch butterfly I know.
I am looking for petunia seeds. Any kind and any color if you have some, if not just send me a regular stamp. These guys are very tiny and will ship in a regular envelope with bubble wrap around it.
I sent you an email! :)

Hi Starlight,
I would love to have some seeds. How do I get in touch with you? How did you get the seeds from the plant?
Thanks,

Mike ya make me drool and I just got the keyboard cleaned up. LOL Got ya!
Olupua.. Send me a dmail with your addy. If ya don't know how to send a dmail, just click on th eblue starlight1153 of my name and a screen will come up and there wil be a link for you to send me a dmail.
I leave the fruit grow on the vine, when they are green they are edible, but I leave them to turn yellow on the vine. When they start getting soft and are turnign from yellow to brown I pick them or let them fall off the vine and then gather them up.
To clean the seeds I break the pods open and place on a plate and let them sit in the sun for a coupel of days while the jelly sac aroudn the seed dries. Then if your lucky a good rain will come and cleans the seeds totally clean and I bring in and let dry .
I have no idea on how to germinate them because I let the pods and seeds go with nature and plant themselves where they want for the butterflies.
I would love to have some of your passi seeds. I don't have any petunia seeds but you can check out my trade list.
Thanks
