I have tested these all out and so far 4/5 have germinated and are growing on diffent places. I have over 100 of each one so lots to trade. These were store bought gourds that I dried and collected the seeds from. I also have chive seeds from seed I collected last year off my own plants. So far it is germinating just fine but I don't know a %, didn't count the seeds when I sowed them. Left to right: 100% 5/5, 100% 5/5, 0% (still early and could germinate) Left to right 90% 9/10, 60% 6/10 Will trade for any perennial flower seeds and bulbs. The larger the better and if hummingbirds like them all the better. Celosia in a color other than red velvet would be nice, prefer the brain looking one but any of the cockscombs will be nice to have. Also would like to find Giambo Zucchini, Rocky Cucumber, and other compact small sizes zucchini and cukes. My wife would be thrilled if I can find some Tiger Lily seeds/bulbs, full sized, gotta keep her happy or I am not happy. :-| I would really like to get a hold of some Knucklehead pumpkin seeds to try for the kids to carve for Halloween. My wife would really like to have a flower we don't know the name of. They grow wild in PA and they only open when they are touched at which point they "snap" open and throw their seeds. If I didn't list it, suggest it! Never know what I will want to try.
Some more tiger lillies ( photo / image / picture from daisybeans's Garden ) Are these the kind of tiger lillies you're talking about? Or something "fancier" like day lillies? I have some to spare.
Just big Tiger Lilies, they look like the right ones. I will have my wife look at them when she has a chance and will let you know but I like them either way. Nice and tall and very nice looking lilies.
fish_for_all, I am going to a plant swap in April. PM me if you'd like to look over some of my plants for taking. You and your wife are welcome to look over the starts. I always have too much.
Just wanted to update thatI have now gotten every gours in the pitcures to germinate so they are all viable to some percentage. So far it looks like at least 40% with all of them so if anyone wants them and wants to trade for something I didn't list let me know.
