Hi Janine!

Thanks for hosting the pink swap! Sign me up!!!

Penny

Add me to the list.

Don (dem_pa)

I've been away too long! I'm in!

I'm not a pink person but I can probably come up with a few packs. These color swaps have been fun! Sign me up.

Alana

Nice to see you all; thanks for signing on. We need just one more person to continue, several more would be even better!

Well, I like pink and I was hoping to help you out by being the needed person, but I looked through my seeds but I have too few in pink to participate and those that I have are likely not even collected within the past two years. (This probably means that I plant my pink seeds each year.) Maybe I will have better luck with another color later on. About a week ago I trimmed my Pink Muhly Grass and should have looked if the seeds were still on it... too late now, it's in the compost pile.
Pink Muhly Grass is so beautiful here in the fall. I had a hard time finding it when I bought it... I remember going from one plant nursery to another. I saw it in bloom at our botanical garden and you know how that goes - you see something and you have to have it! LOL
Anyway, I hope you get the one more person needed in order to do the swap.
Jeanne

Thanks, Jeanne, I appreciate the thought! Pink Muhly Grass is so pretty. I sowed some recently-hope they germinate.
Maybe I should list some of the more uncommon leftover seeds that aren't on my page to try & draw people in. Nah, Pink deserves love without bribery!
Pink Fact: Interestingly, pink is the only tint of a primary color with a name of its own. (Baby blue is still blue, and light green is still green; names like 'aqua' and 'mint' are relatively recent monikers for "tertiary" color mixes of blue/green/white)....copied from dreamhomedecorating.com.

Hi everyone,

This sounds like fun! I'd like to join in!

Louise

Welcome, Louise! We're officially a real swap & there's still plenty of time for sign-ups, folks!
I've emailed my address to everyone. If you haven't received it, please let me know.
Pink Fact: Deep red or bright pink fruits and vegetables should be eaten every day, recommends the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Nutrition research shows that red and bright pink fruits and vegetables contain phytochemicals, such as lycopene and anthocyanins. Phytochemicals, substances found only in plants, help your body fight disease and promote good health.

Pink Fact of the Day: Pink Floyd's name comes from two r&b artists, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.
I actually never knew this and I've listened to them since I was a teenager (that's a long, long time).

Pink Fact of the Day: The Flamingo's colors come from the beta-carotene in the mollusks, crustaceans and algae in their diet.

hmmm...so if I ate the same thing I would turn pink?.."pondering"....

Yea!!! I'm in the pink, sign me up.

I have a few pink items, count me in!

count me in as well

Wow, look what happens when I don't go online for awhile! Welcome hibiscusfan, ten_steps_ahead & jmt2213~I'll be sending you an email shortly. Enjoy the rest of your weekend everybody!
'Regardless of the shape of the flowerfrom the tight, small buds of a pink garden rose to the delicate, open petals of a pink caellia in full bloompink blossoms convey youth, innocence, and joy.' (teleflora.com)

'The cut produced by pinking shears may have given its name to (or be derived from) the plant name pink, a flowering plant in the genus Dianthus (commonly called a carnation). The color pink may have been named after these flowers, although the origins of the name are not definitively known. As the carnation has scalloped, or "pinked", edges to its petals, pinking shears can be thought to produce an edge similar to the flower.' (wikipedia)

I'm in, too! Pink is one of my favorites!

Welcome catrionaa~happy to see you! That makes ten of us with today & tomorrow still left to sign up. I've sent everyone my address. Please let me know if you haven't gotten it.
Pink Fact of the Day: Bubblegum was the original scent of the pink colored Magic Scents Crayons from Binney & Smith Inc. introduced in 1994 with mostly food scents. There were numerous reports that children were eating the food-scented crayons, so they were retired and replaced with non-food scents. The scent for the color pink became "shampoo". (squidoo.com/allaboutpink)

The sun is shining, the birds are singing and it's time to go down to the greenhouse. Life is good.

Mailed mine today.

Don (dem_pa)

Count me in!

Tina (acalgirl)

Slow buds the pink dawn like a rose
From out night's gray and cloudy sheath;
Softly and still it grows and grows,
Petal by petal,
leaf by leaf.

Susan Coolidge

How lovely~thank you.
There are still a few more hours to sign up for those who might be thinking about it!

Don~your very nice selection of seeds came today.

Pink Fact (?) of the Day: 'Pastries taste better when they come out of pink boxes or served on pink plates (it only works with sweets). Pink makes us crave sugar.' (squidoo.com/allabout pink)

I will mail mine this weekend. I'm afraid I'm running a bit behind and finding "pink" seeds was a challenge.
Alana

Received a package from hibiscusfan today!
If anyone needs a few more days to mail out their seeds, it should be fine.

Pink Fact of the Day: In Japan, the color pink has a masculine association. The annual blooming of the cherry trees, with their pink blossoms, is said to represent the young Japanese warriors (the Samurai) who fell in battle in the prime of life. (squidoo.com/allaboutpink)

I mailed my seeds out this afternoon.

Barbara

Jaynine,
I just wanted to let you know that my pink seeds went out in the mail on Saturday morning so hopefully you will receive them shortly.

Penny

p.s. I like all of the pink facts that you are posting.

Hi Everyone~Three packages came today: esiuol, acalgirl & jmt2213!
This one's for you, cybermeowz:
Pink Fact of the Day: Cats with pink noses are more susceptible to sunburn than those with dark noses.

Meet my extremely handsome, pink-nosed buddy~Buzz (my mother-in-law's kitty).

Got a package from Barbara today (ten_steps_ahead)!

Pink Fact of the Day: The pink carnation is symbolistic of a mother's undying love. (wikipedia)

I don't know why I thought the package had to be mailed by the 20th!! Is it too late to mail mine???,,,,"smacking self on head"

Linda~Don't worry about it and no, it's not too late!
Received a package from Alana (poisondartfrog) today.
Happy St Patrick's Day to all. Enjoy the rest of your night.

seeds are gone!...WHOOSH!

Got Penny's (cybermeowz) package yesterday; only one more to go (one person has withdrawn).

A Pink Elephant: term to describe hallucinations during intoxication.

Linda's package came, so I'll be redistributing & sending them back out to you all within the next few days. I'll post when they're in the mail!

I"m so glad it got there..I"m sorry that it was late!

Linda~Not a problem!!
I'm almost done; hopefully they'll be in tomorrow's mail...

Okay, they're on their way: hope you each find a treasure in pink within your package!

Oops! I forgot something.
I'd like to thank you all for joining & for sending in such a nice selection! It was a pleasure to host this month's swap. I'd really appreciate it if everyone would post to let me know when they receive their seeds.
Be on the lookout for the next scheduled Color of the Month Swap. April is White and I've got lots!!
Thanks again. Have a good night.

Thanks Janine, for hosting the pink swap.
I will be posting the next swap tomorrow. If there is enough interest I want to get it started so that everyone can get their seeds as early in April as possible so that there is still plenty of sowing time.
I have lots of white too!
Alana

I received my pink seeds today at noon. Thanks to all who participated in this swap. What a great variety of seeds. Some will be winter sown tomorrow. Thanks to a great hostess.

Don (dem_pa)

Received my seeds today and exceited to get them planted. The selection was great and thanks Janine for hosting and to everyone in the swap for sharing!

Janine,
I also received my seeds today. You sent a really fantastic selection. I'm so happy with the seeds that I got. There were quite a few from my wish list. Thank you so much for that.

Thanks again for hosting the pink swap. I'm so glad that we were able to hold this swap after the one last year didn't happen. You are a fantastic hostess!

Penny

Janine,
I received my seeds yesterday and I love what you picked out for me. Kudos go out to you for hosting this great swap and the other participants for sending in such wonderful seeds. It will be raining here the next few days and I can't think of anything better than to wintersow my new seeds. Thanks again!

Ten Steps

Hi Everybody,
