Do you still want some seed? Holler soon, as it's been windy.

Email a snail address and I'll mail some seed this week.

Hey, thanks for the offer Jan, but I'm living in the desert now and
fireweed wouldn't stand a chance here. :-(


I have some in my camera case I collected 3 years ago and just found,
wrapped in cellophane. Think I have a shot at gettting them to grow after
all this time? Got them in Hatchers Pass.

Put the seed in the freezer for awhile, then try it. I'll bet it's
viable : )

I'll collect a little bit of seed, in case yours doesn't grow.

Thanks Jan, I will pop it in now and break it out in the Spring and start
them inside. I will let you know.
