Hi all! New here, just registered. Thought I would get my trade list up right away and then go through the other sections of the forum.
I'm in Canada and it would be great to trade within Canada. Seeds are iffy back and forth across the US border. Sometimes they go through, sometimes they don't, not sure why exactly.
Have list:
Calendula officinalis - great annual
Purple Echinacea seeds
California poppy seeds
Snow in Summer perennial ground cover, silver foliage, seeds
Cosmos - mixed
Blue and white dwarf Columbine 12" tall
Pink/White poppies
Purple and pink mixed Columbine (3-4 feet tall)
Jacob's Ladder perennial - the clump these were collected from have one stalk of white flowers, but I couldn't separate the seeds.

Pink Hollyhock
Wild Blue Flag Iris seeds. I have successfully transplanted a clump of these into a flower bed that were growing wild on our property. Huge clumps remain growing wild. Seeds came from those plants now three years in a row. I have also successfully germinated these seeds, so it's not hard. Just a couple of months in a container with water only in the fridge for about 2 months. Then they will germinate happily in a tray. Time to flower, 3 years.
I also have over 100 bulbs of many types of Lilium flowers. (Oriental, Asiatic, Longiforum/Asiatic hybrids and a few Trumpet) I'll share photos when they bloom this summer so everyone can pick/choose and will happily start some bulb scale clones in a bit of peat to ship out in Canada only. Named varieties include Monte Negro, Salmon Cream, Stargazer (avatar pic), Cancun, Tinos, Shirley, Coral Sunrise, Paintbrush, Gardenja, and an orange species type but can't remember the Latin name. Also some plain unnamed types of bright yellow, orange and red and some spotted mauve types.
Pic from 2007, and only one bed, there are many more. Can see the self-seeded Calendula in there as well.

Also have a ton of Stella d'Oro daylily which produces a lot of seeds but didn't collect any last growing season.
Want list:
Delphinium - tall, blue/dark blue/purple/vibrant pink. Anything but white or baby pink. Would like jewel tones and bright. Otherwise, not too fussy.
Eryngium - taller the better. Would like the blue/purple types. Do not want agavafolium, white or the "ghost" types.
Perennial Saliva - any but red
Borage
Any tall, showy, herbaceous flowering perennials, 2 feet or taller that I may not know about.
Monarda - I have a lot of red and fall 2008 I planted small plants of purple and pink from a commercial greenhouse. But I can't get enough of Monarda and neither can the hummers. ;D
Achillea millefolium - something besides white
Tronchuda - a leafy cabbage that never forms a head
Celeriac - sometimes called Celery Root
Leafy celery - more of an herb than a veg, used for soup stock and such. There's a nice heirloom red that some people grow.
Montreal Market melon
Wild Leek/Ramps - been trying to find someone who could give me a clump. We have 100 acres and I want to establish a colony on our land. Tried seeds already, too hard to germinate. Still have a pack of seeds from last year if anyone wants to have a go at it.
Yellow paste tomato, or any good productive paste tomato used to a northern climate.
Cuttings or seeds of Echinacea paradoxa.
Cuttings or roots of Echinacea "Sunrise" and "Sunset" types, the oranges and reds.
