PM on its way. Those are luscious!

I sent a PM last night!!!!
Can't believe that FFG and I are the only takers so far!

I will put them in the mail Monday.
I had never seen the doubles before and for $2, I wasn't about to pass over them, and now I can share.

Where did you find double hollyhock seeds for $2? I have looked high and low for inexpensive seeds and never found them under $3.95 for 10.
Do you want some of my singles seeds?

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

I got the "plant" at a local nursery.
I am looking Red or Purple Blackberry lily seeds, so if you know where I can get my hands on those.
Thanks for the offer on the singles but I'll pass on them for now.

i wish i had room for some.. they are beautiful. do they do well in pots then transplanted outdoors?

Why not...free seeds

Oh, I'm looking forward to this. Now, I just have to figure out when to plant them! In my climate, though, I'd expect that I could plant them any time.

Got to get some things cleaned up in that area, though, beforehand.

ok you talked me into it. i know, i'm easy.

Oh, they're beautiful!

Oh so pretty!. Have seeds I've saved but every time I plant-the da-- woodchuck eats them down!

Those are beautiful........I have no place for them...plus here they always get powdery mildew. I love hollyhocks, and so do the bees! The color is so intense. I hope you get a lot of takers.

I have a market basket of purple hyacinth bean seeds to give away. Maybe I need to start a new post!

FFG, now is a good time to start them inside & then transplant out after last frost date. Most are bi-annuals so they may not bloom this year.

Do you have my addy? Ya'al should know by now if it's free I'm in!
And about the purple blackberry lilie seeds...I'll have to look. I was surprised that I had one and it only had 3 pods on it.
Just looked, yes, I have some I can share...and I already have your addy!

Karen, I lost your addy when my computer died last year, so could ya pm me with it.

FFG...these bloomed the first year.

That's great that they bloomed the first year. Some do.
I have your blackberry lily seeds in an envelope, but due to this nasty cold I doubt I will go any place for a couple of days. Don't need to expose everyone else to this!

My addy should be in your pm box.

THANK YOU!

No problem Karen. Take care of yourself first.
Thank you!

Oh boy, goodies to look forward to when I get home!!

got mine today. THANK YOU so much for sending them.

did you know Hollyhocks were often planted next to outhouses long ago. that was so a lady could ask where the hollyhocks were... so much more lady-like than asking where the privy was.

Thats a very interesting notation. I did not know that. Happy planting

Just checked mail and I got my seeds!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Uuoh...I have hollyhocks next to my well house. We have been asked if the well house is an outhouse. But I had never heard that before. Every year that we had a bad storm the outhouse got relocated...wherever it got blown to, Dad would dig a new hole & use the dirt to cover the old hole.

And I got my seeds the other day too. Just haven't felt like doing much on the puter!
THANK YOU!

Thumby, my seeds were in the mail we collected from the post office today. Thank you so much!!

I think everyone has thier seeds now. Happy Planting.Glad to be able to share.
I still have a few more if anyone is interested

I'm really concerned about planting the seeds now. With our crazy weather, they'd just sprout and start growing just like it was spring time. Besides, I have to wait a couple of weeks for my worker bee to get back into town to help me do some heavy work. Meanwhile, I'm guarding my seeds like the gold they are!!!
