Hi poppy I'm sure that it's a weakness all us mad gardeners share !
On a similar note:::::
On a day off this week, went to a wild life park ,I took some photos of the animals .....but what attracted me just as much were the phormiums set out in the beds.too photos and drooled how I could do the same back in our garden, phormiums being my latest thing along with ornamental grasses.
There was some tall white and cream grass I'm trying to find out what it is and a smaller grass cream with a thin striped green edge which I'm after too !
Ok, I'll list all of the packets of seed I have here.
If anyone wants anything, drop me a PM with your name & address.
I will be sowing a bit of most of these for myself, so most packets will be open. But, as I won't need e.g. all of the 200 Teasel seeds in the packet, I'm happy to pass on what's left .
A. Unbranded seed bought from Lidl - they had an offer on of 5 packets for £1.
1. Sweet William.
2. Carnations. (x 2 packets)
3. Strawflower (Helichrysum bracteatum).
4. Zinnia - Dahlia Flowered Mix.
5. Zinnia - Liliput Mix.
6. China Aster - American Mix (Callistephus chinensis).
7. Pansies - Early flowering F1 hybrids.
8. Flowering Maple (Abutilon hybridum).
9. Busy Lizzies - A mix of the standard self coloured whites, pinks, lilacs and reds. No variety specified. (x 2 packets).
B. Unwins - Nature's Haven.
1. Cranesbill Geranium.
2. Achillea - Cloth Of Gold.
3. Teasel - Winter Bouquet.

15. Wallflower - Persian Carpet.
N.B. Most of these packets of seed are still unopened, but I will be sowing a few of each for my own garden. Most of the wildflower seeds have 100+ in each packet, so I'm happy to share because I don't need that many for my small garden .
