   Approx 2,000 Wisteria seeds - two colors.

   Seeds are between 1-3 years old. No guarantee on viability, since each of us has our own growing methods. None are from this past fall. When collected, some were still cold and when brought inside, the skins split on some of them - no idea of those ones will grow, but just a disclaimer that some of them have this condition. (Not many.) A little over 1,000 purple/lavender seeds (roughly) 900 - 1000 ? Pink seeds (selfed, so high percentage of pinks should ensue.) I prefer to just let them all go at once - but may split it up. If approx 5-10 people ask me for smaller numbers, before somebody asks for the whole lot, then I will consider it.

   NEW FREE SEED OFFER - MOST ARE FRESH!!!!

   • 2.3k views

   Time for another big giveaway! I have a lot of irons in the fire, and need to free up some space! Most of these seeds are fresh (less than 3 months or thereabouts.) Some are already planted. The ones that say "pkt" I only have one, or two packets of. (Most of the packets are a little older. Winter-ish?) No guarantees on germination, etc, since we all grow our stuff differently. With the already planted seeds, keep in mind that they will be dirty, discolored, may have a light coating of mold, etc etc, since they are in dirt, in pots. A few things to keep this offer simple, and fun: there will be a flat fee of $5 and $10 depending on how heavy your p…

    I have a few spare Arenga engleri seeds from freshly harvested fruits. In contrast to the common belief plants from those seeds seem to grow fairly fast (in my not tropical climate in cold frame). I gladly give them for free but I would not reject an exchange (not a prerequisite though)! Below you see pics from plants from those seeds 1 and 1/2 years old.

    Hi. I am helping out the local Punta Gorda elementary school- Sallie Jones- with a landscape project. The school building is basically new but due to budget cuts, there is nothing for landscaping. I am gratefully accepting any donations of cycads, palms or other plants to make the school a beautiful place. I am on the west coast of Florida, 100 miles south of Tampa. I will drive in FL to pick up material and will pay for shipping out of my own pocket. If you have something you would like to donate, please pm. Thanks. Vincent Bodnar
