This blue morning glory vine reseeds itself each season. I have seeds to share.
Sharing plants is one of the nicest things about gardening friendships.
Several of us regularly share cuttings, seeds, and divisions within our own community.
These lovely Cannas were given by a friend last fall.
If it grows for one of us, chances are very good that it will grow in our friends’ gardens, too!
Our visits nearly always end up with a gift of something which will grow.
A friend pulled this division of Sedum from her own pots one day over tea. Now I must share it with the deer….
And our gardens grow as constant reminders of our friendships.
Blogging friend Michael, of Michael’s Woodcraft, send these divisions of Lemon Lime Hosta earlier this summer. All of his divisions are growing well!
I’ve exchanged seeds, cuttings, and divisions with a few blogging friends this summer, too.
Barbara, from Silver In the Barn brought this lovely clump of Iris when she came to visit. I am so looking forward to seeing them bloom next May!
What a joy to share our gardens and love of plants with one another!
Rose of Sharon seeds are ripening now, and may be collected for anyone who wants them. These small trees bloom after three or four years of growth.
I have gathered seeds this autumn from our beautiful blue morning glory vine and from our native Hibiscus moscheutos, and will be happy to share.
Native Hibiscus moscheutos. I have seeds of red, pink, and this lovely white variety to share.
I sent a packet off to a blogging friend in today’s mail, and have plenty left to share with others who may be interested.
The morning glory is an annual and reseeds itself each year.
It should grow anywhere the growing season is at least two to three months long.
The Hibiscus is a perennial in Zones 5-10.
Native Hibiscus blooming in our garden this summer.
It will take a few years for the plant to bloom, but it is stunning and gives more than a month of blooms once it does.
Please leave me a comment if you would like seeds from either of these beautiful plants.

This is my favorite Begonia to share. I’ve given cuttings to many friends. They root very easily.
I do! I do! I feel like Arnold Horshack jumping up and down in my seat with my arm raised! Yes, to the gorgeous morning glory. I’ll give you hyacinth bean vine seed in return. Fair deal?
Absolutely! More than fair! Now, do we mail them, or try to meet when I’m in town next Tuesday? I have the perfect spot for the Hyacinth bean, and appreciate you sharing your precious seeds. Best wishes, WG
You are so generous! I am looking forward to these gorgeous blue morning glories growing in my own garden – I’ll see them and think of you! (Isn’t the coolest part of sharing?) 🙂 Would you like anything in return? seeds: Joe Pye weed, wh/pk/purp. cleome, yel/or. calendula, scarlet runner bean, purple shiso, viola?
Dear Eliza,
They are on their way to you 😉 And I’ll look forward to the photos next summer 😉 Thank you, too, for your offer of seeds. I don’t need any at the moment, but appreciate the offer. Best wishes, WG
Oh yes please to the morning glory and hibiscus.
