Title: seeds of moon flowers searched
Post by: Hans J on December 01, 2013, 04:42:59 PM: Hi all ,

I'm looking for seeds of moon flowers ( Ipomea alba or Calonytion aculeatum ) for sowing in next spring
I can offer payment or swap ...

I know there are some sellers for this seeds but maybe it is more funny to swap here with other members

Best wishes
Hans

funny I was just picking up some seeds of my ipomoea alba this morning! Pm me your address and I'll send you some for xmas!
Let me know if you need instructions (basically you nick the top, soak them 24h and plant the ones that swell up to double their size..)

I would be interested in a swap.

I have too much to list here, but will sort a list on Sunday. In the meantime, would you be interested in seed for Sutherlandia frutescens? Let me know ASAP, as I have started soaking them tonight, so would need to put some in paper towel for you instead of sowing them.

It's very rewarding for me when I'm able to share smth that someone looks for so I really don't want anything in return! I just like the idea that sooner or later you (or sb else) might be able to help me with smth I'll be looking for (as it has already happened from my first week in the forum!) and the thing will go on in circles..
Please pm your address!

That's kind!

I'm on a seed frenzy too! I'm particularly after members of the Fabaceae family at the moment.

PM on its way to you.
