Title: THIS IS A MYSTERY!!!!!!!
Post by: rosebud on December 08, 2009, 16:39:59: Today i recieved a badly battered envelope with some twiggy like little storks in & about 3/4 tiny seedheads, the rest were lost.
Now i do not remember who promised me any seeds. There was no name or anything in with them. Who was it please? what are the little seedheads, very small heads anyone recognise these.?

Rosebud ;D ;D

You certainly need to know what they are, to know how/when to plant them, anorl....any further clues? Was the envelope so badly battered that you think something from it had been lost (ie seeding instructions or a little note from the sender?)

HMMM..I've had a thort - it was from SANTA 8) ;D

Post by: Digeroo on December 09, 2009, 20:13:29: Poppies from me!!! I had to squash the packet to get it though the little slop. Seeds are tiny. So what you want is the dust from the bottom.

Post by: Hyacinth on December 11, 2009, 08:28:00: Oh! Looks like the precious gold dust at the bottom got lost? Hope not :-\

Oops! Forgot to say thanks for solving Buds Christmas Mystery, Digs 8) It's always nice when someone promises seeds when they're ready for harvesting - and remembers!
