I've seen several listings that just say marigold or columbine.

I understand that you may not know the specific name of the plant, we all have lost tags. However, Instead of just columbine maybe write columbine blue or whatever color the plant was. This will help you in "selling" your seeds when dibbing night comes along😀

Oh, good point Lisa!

That reminds me, unless things have changed since last year's swap, the packing slip shows what we enter under "Plant" and "Quantity/packet" but doesn't include what we add in the comments section.

For example, if I have two different "Aardvark" offers, it will be difficult for me to figure out which packet to send to which dibber.

Adding the color to the description would be one way to address my aardvark fulfillment problem Smiling

Sometimes color helps, but often I save seeds from the same plant (same color same everything) year after year and offer seed from multiple years. I try to vary the number of seeds per packet for each offering so it's easier to match.

You can also go in after the fact and change the name, I had to do that in one of my first swaps when I had multiple varieties & couldn't tell which was which.
