I seriously plan to get everyone their package back in plenty of time for people to research their new seeds before winter solstice.

Well I got everything sorted and packed, WHEW!!! (Of course I cleaned up a little before posting this, lol) I got to the last 20 and ran out of tape to seal your packages up. So needless to say I will not be going to the store tonight. Tomorrow I will for sure be at the post office with all but 1 package. She knows who she is, I already contacted her. For the rest of you though if your not excited it is time to get excited. Whoooo hoooo!!

Velsgarden, I will for sure get yours out monday!!

When you get your packages please let me know. Hopefully we will have the other thread working to where we can use it but if not just post here.

Thank you everyone for joining in on the seed madness!!!!

Take a break and drink some cocoa. :D

Anyone else that is new to winter sowing or you would like to get a hold of seeds just to try it out. Shoot me an email, I would be more than happy to do an sasbe. As of right now I can at least do 3 to 4 packages of a good abundance of common seeds.

I hope everyone is happy with the selection of seeds that you got. Some of you were quite difficult, so I really tried my best. One of you got something that I was eye balling the entire time. I really had a hard time coming off of it, I wanted it so bad it was even on my want list before the swap . Well I will be honest I did take about 5 seeds out of the package, and sent the rest. That same person got a gag package of flowers, LOL. Just as a harmless joke, it was probably about 2:00 am and I was tired and silly. I won't say who, but feel free to share it with us when you get it, it is clearly marked as a joke.

Anywho let me know what you think about the seeds you got cause granted not all wishes were met, but I can promise you this You guys were dealt first. I did score a few things that no one asked for or that were left over or in major abundance that I was extremely excited about getting. So I want to say thank you to all of you!!

As for the extra newbie seeds I have 3 people that have spoken for the seeds already. Billstickers, I received yours yesterday, and I will be filling it shortly. After I fill those 3, assuming they will send off a bubble mailer, I will post to let you guys know if I have enough seeds for any more. As for right now that offer is closed!!!

Thanks again everyone for making this what I hope to be a great swap, without all of ya it wouldn't of happened!!

And where did you get seeds for carrion flower? :-D Yes, folks, this was the joke item. I laughed as soon as saw this, and I'm still giggling as I type.

There's more than one plant called carrion flower. I knew about two already. One is a succulent called stapelia; there are several species, all with cool-looking star-shaped flowers. Another is amorphophallus, with several species, all with flowers that are, um, phallic. Several other plants have earned the name "carrion flower" too. All of them smell like a well-ripened dead animal when in full bloom. The question is, which plant are these seeds from? Do I want to know?

This page has a great non-gardening partner photo. (Would you do this to your sweetheart?) Visiting a blooming amorphophallus titanum.

Houston's Museum of Natural Science had an amorphophallus titanum bloom this July. Photos at the link below.

What makes this particularly amusing is that I've already shown my boyfriend both of these links. Joked about planting "special" flowers in the front hell strip for pedestrians to enjoy. We live three blocks from the downtown shopping district, so there's lots of foot traffic. He immediately said no way, and I had to clarify that I was kidding. Well, of course I was. The back yard would be much safer. ;-) Now, I get to show him that I have seeds. "Look, honey, I don't know what these are exactly, I'll figure that out when they grow, but wow, they are going to reek!" LOL

On a serious note, I do have one suggestion for next time: it might be a good idea for us to include a "what I sent in" list on the same sheet of paper as the wish list. I sent in orange butterfly weed and cleome, and got both back in the swap. Not my own seed, but other gardener's. That's OK, I can just swap them again. :-)

The one that sent them in was grdngramma, maybe she can tell us more about them.

I know I sure got a GREAT laugh over them!! I am still laughing!! LOL

Also, I was in such laughter over here, that is even funnier that you showed your boyfriend pictures before of those plants and you ended up with the seeds. To funny!!

Looks like this WS newbie missed out on the action. Any chance there will be another swap planned? Many thanks.

You all are welcome,hope you enjoy them.I just thought they would be a nice little gift,especially for seed lovers like ourselves.

I want to thank everyone that sent in seeds.I love everything I got.MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone and HAPPY WINTERSOWING

All but 2 were mailed thursday the 9th!! The last package was mailed on monday the 13th and I see she got hers!!

If I don't hear from you I will automatically assume you got it.

Thanks Carolyn!

Gardenunusual - I don't know whether there's another big swap planned, but if you really want to trade, why wait? Have you checked the Seed Exchange forum? There are always people there looking to trade seeds. Sometimes people trade seeds in exchange for non-seed items, such as plant labels. And some nice people give away seeds for postage. You can post there with your "haves" and "wants" and see who responds. I checked, and I don't have anything on your "want" list. Clearly I need to move, so I can have a bigger garden. :-D

And I am thrilled with my new seed collection. You wonderful people sent in some exciting and unusual seeds. I received some that have been on my want list for a long time. :-)
