Seed exchange - seeds offered by Chris

Post by Chris_W »

Hi,

Here are the seeds I have to offer. There are a lot of plants here that set seed, but these I think are some that have some nice characteristics for open pollinated plants. This year I also experimented with pollinating some of my own and it went fairly well, so I'm going to try and hybridize some for next year and offer some actual crosses too.

Who knows, though, people get some fun plants out of the OP seed in the past too :)

Thanks for your support!

Chris

Niagara Falls - 5 or more packets
Korean Snow - GONE
Lakeside Ripples - 5 or more
Lakeside Old Smokey - 4 or more
Celestial Lightning - 0 packet ($5 each)
Christmas Tree Gala (I'm 99% certain that is the plant I have based on the reddish-purple pods and the leaf shape and coloration) - 3 packets

If you want any of these just send me a private message.

Thanks again!

Hi,

The Korean Snow and all (plus some) of the Celestial Lightning are gone now.

Glad that there was interest in these. I'll be packaging things tonight and if I have any extra I'll post again, but already have more requests than the original number posted :eek:

Thanks!

Hi Again,

I now have 3 packets of Christmas Tree Gala left. In the past these have produced some really nice streaky seedlings :D

Good news! I have one more packet of about 25 seeds of Celestial Lightning available. They had great seed production this year :)

Be fast for this one :D

And the Celestial Lightning seeds are all spoken for now. I divided up that plant this year, with one eye stabilizing to a center variegation and one eye to an edge, but the main eye is still very streaky so should produce some nice seedlings.

Thanks!
