I'd write more often, but.....
I've got new plant catalogs to go through, and seed orders to compose. What can I not live without this year?
'Purple Gleam' California poppy
African lion's tail -- the flowers are the same color as classics_cat's hair when she lived with us
'Temple Bells Orange' celosia -- ooooooo, it's tall, it's orange, what else do I need?
'Thai Green Pea' eggplant -- eggplant fruits the size of peas, it's just too strange not to
'Tigger' melon -- a small, yellow with red stripes heirloom melon
And, even better, Donna is getting me 4 new kinds of mint from Richter's this spring. Oooooo, 4 new kinds of mint. I can't wait.
If you really want to know more, ask. I suspect this is already too much information for most *grin*

I'm sure I'll have lots of stuff that could go home with you this spring. Most of the mints and monarda need dividing, and the echinacea & oregano & lemon balm. More yarrows, in several colors. Mugwort--you should plant this by your fence and let it take over your neighbor's yard *grin* Got rose-of-sharon seedlings, too--nothing fancy, just a basic lavender semi-double. Blackberry lilies & iris, too, And 'Surecrop' strawberries (Junebearing type)--they've already filled the raised beds I put them in. Perennial sunflowers, if you're interested, but those may be too big fir your yard.
Re F1 morning glories--that means that what you planted was the first generation of seed produced by the cross. Seed saved out to germinate okay, but a bunch of it will revert to one or the other parent. SO expect mixed colors, and maybe smaller flowers. I *think* most morning glories will revert to the purple shades.
Don't know about the daffodil seeds--I'll have to look that up and get back to you. It ought to work, though. Do you remember what kind of daff's you planted? (It might make a difference in what they need to germinate.)
