Send me a self-addressed stamped envelope and I will send you zinnia seeds and hollyhock seeds that I harvested last fall, dried and packaged in little paper "parts" envelopes!
I have waaaaaaaay too many for myself and thought you would like to try some of these. I have had amazing results with both the hollyhock and zinnias.
Warning: 1. The hollyhocks are very, very tall and loaded with flowers and the zinnias well the zinnias are a beautiful rose, pink, plummy color-Breathtaking. Both flower types attract a lot of MONARCHS and HUMMINGBIRDS. 2.Be prepared to have "perfect" strangers approach your flower bed and gaze adoringly!

Melody, can I ask what color are the holly hocks? The holly hocks I have are white, and very light pink. I was given some red though last fall, I can't wait to plant that.

Just posted a photo taken of my hollyhocks along the picket fence. The colors are muted pinks, soft roses, and a deeper maroon.

Melody, zinnias are my very favorite flowers. I saved tons of seeds myself last year and just now threw them all out in a flower bed I just tilled up. Along with alot of other seeds my mom saved from last year too. And cosmos and calendula. I can hardly wait for them all to come up. You are sweet to give all yours away. I'm afraid I am too selfish to part with my seeds. I want zinnias all over my yard. They make me happy!

Just an FYI - zinnias make EXCELLENT companion plants for the cabbage family. Plus they are BEAUTIFUL!

Oh my, just lovely! If you happen to have some left, I'd like to jump on the bandwagon! E-mail me your address and I'll send a SASE.
(and if you happen to want any mammoth sunflower seeds in return, let me know - we've got loads!)

Gee... I hope I am e-mailing everyone who wanted seeds. If you haven't heard from me-Just give me another nudge and e-mail me again! I don't want to slight anyone-it's just that I've been in a "fuddle" the last couple of days and it might have slipped my mind-I hate getting old.

Hollyhocks remind me of my grandma. She used to grow the along the edge of her driveway. My sister and I would make "dancing ladies" out of them (remember those?)!

Thanks for the wonderful HOllyhock and Zinnia seeds. We are RVers and just got back from a rally and they were waiting for me in the mail box. SOOO GRATEFUL !! 'Specially love HHocks.
Took me forever to relocate this blog to thank you. When I play all over the MJ chat site, it takes me forever to find where I've been. LOL!
Have a GREAT DAY !! And thanks again!!
