I have never participated in 1 of these before so I don't really understand how it works. I read the list of seeds you guys want. I can collect Apios americana for anyone that wants them (up to a point).

I have a few dozen seeds of Groundnut, Apios americana. I guess that's so small an amount I can just send through the US mail, so give me an address and I'll mail them and whoever gets them can distribute them. Thanks

I'm thinking of joining this swap and have a few questions.

How many packets of seeds do I need to offer in trade in order to join this swap? I have only recently started growing natives so I do not have many.

Would named cultivars such as Hydrangea quercifolia "Alice" qualify?

Since I am new to native gardening, I do not know the species of some of the genera that flourish here. For example here is a picture of a Liatris that grows wild here, in Shelby County, Alabama. It has a bulb-like corm and a branched inflorescence. Perhaps someone here can identify it. I will collect seeds from it soon. Would I be able to offer these seeds for trade in this swap, even though I do not know the species?

Thanks,
Susan
,

I neglected to set a lower limit of seeds for participation, but I would say that packets of three(3) or more items will be sufficient. Want anyone interested to join in.

Since Hydrangea quercifolia is a NA native, Hydrangea quercifolia 'Alice' would qualify.

If no ID arises for the species you posted, you can enter as Liatris, add your photo, and give what info you can in the "Comments" box.

Welcome

Wonderful! I will join!
Thanks,
Susan

[quote="Browneyedsusan"] For example here is a picture of a Liatris that grows wild here, in Shelby County, Alabama. It has a bulb-like corm and a branched inflorescence. Perhaps someone here can identify it.
Try Shaggy Blazing Star - Liatris elegantula in the Johnson wildflower center website or another native plant ID and see if the characteristics match.

Cool, here is my wantlist, I am mostly looking for southeast natives (mainly florida, I would accept any FL natives)

- Muhlenbergia sericea
- Quercus muhlenbergii
- Hibiscus aculeatus
- Hibiscus grandiflorious
- Buccaneer palm (Pseudophoenix sargentii)
- Tampa vervain (glandularia tampensis
- beach sunflower (Helianthus debilis)
- Maypop (passiflora incarnata)
- Redbay (Persea borbonia)
- Sabal etonia
- Ocimum campechianum
- Chickasaw plum (Prunus angustifolia)
- pecan (carya illinoinensis)

- Datura discolor
- Datura stramonium
- Datura stramonium tatula
- Datura inoxia
- Datura quercifolia
- Datura ferox
- Datura innoxia 'Missouri Marble' (thanks Janinilulu)

I would like lisianthus.

I'm looking especially for mid-Atlantic butterfly and caterpillar chow, and things that provide forage for birds and other fauna. Bonus if you have any obligatory host plants, please note in your notes:

Pipevine - Aristolochia macrophylla, A. tormentosa

Pearly Everlasting - Anaphalis margaritacea
Pussytoes - Antennaria
Mountain Mints - Pycnanthemum

I don't know if anyone is following this thread. Just want to suggest that "Alplains" is a great source for wild collected native USA seeds. His specialty is SW alpine species. But he also collects some from the lower altitudes and plains which are better suited to mesic gardens. And of course it is possible to grow some in pots in appropriate mixes. Sometimes he has wild-collected species from other areas.

His prices are incredibly low for what he is offering!

Pat

Thank you Hortaholic for posting about Alplains! only 2 hours from me! Local!

Wow!! You are lucky @colcol
I'm not sure there is a store or retail access of any kind.

If I was that close though I'd be finding out if it's possible to visit because they do have gardens they cultivate for seed plants. If you go please share your experience with us!

Pat

I just think it's great to find something so close. Guess I'm thinking plants are better grown near your same environment.
