Flower Seed Circle 2016

[mothhawk]

It's quite fun peeling Honesty seed heads, which I've never done before. I've didn't realise that each disc has three layers with the seeds stuck to the inside silvery layer...

Have you saved the stems with the silvery "moons"? They make lovely additions to Christmas flower arrangements, or dried flower arrangements.

I'm getting excited at the thought of so many new flower seeds to grow. Some, like honesty, I've grown before but no longer have, some, like cedronella, are new to me and it will be fun finding out about them and hoping they will grow in my garden.

So if I'm reading this right, we are each sending in multiples of 6 packets of everything....

[veggiechicken]

Yes please!
Send me 6 packets of each flower seed in a reusable envelope with one large stamp or 2 small stamps.
Once I've received everyone's seeds, I'll send you a luvly assortment back
Thank you for sharing

Yes, I love the silvery moons Mothhawk, though didn't realise till today that I could speed the process up by peeling away the outside layers. I've just been reading up on Honesty, and also realised Seasprouts' Lunaria annua ex chedglow is a black leaved variety. Also, that the name lunaria is, as you'd said, because they look like moons.

Currently packeting up all my seeds for you lucky flowery people....

Posted.

My package was posted yesterday.

Hope there's something for everybody.

[WPG]

Posted mine yesterday too. In hindsight I should've used more practical packaging, so I hope they're not too bulky.

Happy growing everyone

[veggiechicken]

Thanks Both! I'll post on here when they arrive

Update! Both your envelopes have arrived Luvly! You both put my labelling to shame

Have you sent coconuts..?

[mothhawk]

Posted mine off today, but the post doesn't go till 4pm, so don't hold your breath.

Does anyone else have such a late collection?

[Guest]

Ours is 5pm but the service is being reviewed. Mine also went today.

[veggiechicken]

Thanks both! I'll post on here when they arrive
Collection here used to be 5.30 which was great - now its tied to the delivery time and could be anytime after 9am. They change the Day to tomorrow once they've collected it but you have no idea until you get the postbox. Its a real pain

I'd better get a move on

[veggiechicken]

Yes, you should
