     Aconitum seeds off to @Obelixx today.
    I'm collecting seeds from this poppy if anyone wants some. Not quite ready yet though. Despite what some people say, the bees do get right into the middles of these. I’ve watched them🙂

    I have some packets of seeds and as I have not yet acquired the patience or have the room to sow them they are going free or in the bin. Some are dated 2016 so may be well past their sell by date.
    They consist of - Calendula, Hardy Annuals, Veronica, Cosmos, Aquilegia, Poppy (Coral Reef), Sweet Pea and Linaria.
    If anyone is interested they can have them with pleasure and I will post them on. If no takers they will be binned  :(
    Still got them seeds because i would like a couple also are you in devon otherwise i wont be able to take the seeds thanks !

    @Lyn , I have collected seeds from the variegated white honesty that you wanted.  I think it needs a few days drying out but if you PM your address I'll post some to you.

    @Blackhalloliver. I put those seeds on here in the spring so they were collected the year before. If you hang on a bit I will list what I’ve got this year, not much ready yet, but I will post when I’ve collected.   I will look in my tin and see what’s still in date from bought ones. 
    At the moment I’ve collected
    White Honesty.
    white poppy.
    pale lemon /cream antirrhinum.
    may have some more Aconitum and dark blue delphiniums.

    Couldn’t resist playing the magnet game with these seeds. Just one poppy head.

    Isn't it amazing how just one flower head can produce so many tiny seeds, you wonder how the poppy doesn't monopolize all plant life. Is that the common red poppy seed @Lyn? , my red poppy flower seeds are black.
