    A little different from seed exchange.. could be anything including plants. Who knows, maybe someone wants to trade stuff....

    I would love to get a Staghorn fern. They are such unique plants. Found lots of sites with them for sale. My sister has one and they are so cool.

    I would love to get my hands on an orchid like this:

    It's a tibeticum, horribly expensive (even for Norwegian standards) and hard to come by.

    Love the tibeticum Droopy!!! I want to replace my Blue Poppy, which didn't reappear this year, as it was such a beautiful shade of blue.

    Daylilies, bedding mix and mulch. I want to collect the Candy series daylilies by Stamile. I have Strawberry Candy and I am getting Pink Cotton Candy, Custard Candy, Wineberry Candy and Pretty Sugar Candy in September. I am not sure how many others are in the series. I also want more pink daylilies and lavender daylilies.

    Some of my Dad's purple Iris seeds, Gladiolus, fire-and-ice roses, any great tomato plants I can get my hands on.

    Also, a yard with better sun, maybe lots of Thyme for ground-cover, and interesting found objects for container growing. I can't wait for the move in February, as the yard will be the deciding factor!

    Bip- I'll keep you updated on the Iris seeds, as my folks live in "The Iris Capitol of the World".

    -I said bulbs earlier due to a mental lapse and all-together exhaustion ;)

    Oh, I have them, but am not allowed to send them to you. The customs people would come and slap my wrist and give me a huge fine. There might be some seedpods, though. How good are you at sowing, eileen?

    Droopy I don't want to get you into any trouble although it was really kind of you to offer me some of your seedpods. I'll either buy seed over here or maybe even buy ready made plants from a garden centre. Thank you so much for thinking of me though. :-D

    I want a wild red columbine!! You know, the little red & yellow ones :) I have ordered seed and even ordered a small plant but haven't had any luck :( I've seen them on the road out to the golf course, next spring I'm going to throw the shovel in the pickup along with the golf bags and bring me home a plant! Hopefully! My husband calls it poaching :rolleyes: Is it really poaching if I take it home to love it and nurture it?

    Sharon's candy daylilies sound pretty interesting too. I'm going to look those up!

    I want a lackey, hired man, yard boy, whatever you want to call him. Just for the summer weather, someone who can get out there and do the weeding, watering and digging of new beds for me...the rest of the year I can handle it myself.

    Deanna, digging up plants from the wild is called Wildcrafting and in some states it is illegal so you better check first :eek:

    Seed is allowed, eileen. Only plants are restricted. And I have seedpods on my Meconopsis grandis. So?

    Well, I sure could use a small cart for our Welsh Mountain, but preferably after I've planted my tibeticum.
