@Horntoad is providing a huge collection of Hibiscus seeds, for 3 different winners. If you choose this prize, you will receive seeds of the following plants:

Comfortroot (Hibiscus aculeatus)
White Texas Star Hibiscus (Hibiscus coccineus 'Alba')
Neches River Rosemallow (Hibiscus dasycalyx)
Hardy Hibiscus (Hibiscus moscheutos subsp. moscheutos)
Woolly Rose-Mallow (Hibiscus moscheutos subsp. lasiocarpos)
Hybrid Hardy Hibiscus (Hibiscus Luna™ Pink Swirl)
Rose Mallow (Hibiscus laevis)
Striped rosemallow (Hibiscus striatus)

Additionally, these next four have set pods or are blooming now will most likely also be sent, barring a disaster that destroys the plants or bud:
Hibiscus syriacus (Open pollinated, white with red eye)
Hibiscus syriacus (Open pollinated, pink with red eye)
Hibiscus martianus (OP but nothing blooming that it could have crossed with.)
Hibiscus trionum (OP but nothing blooming that it could have crossed with.)

Finally, these short day bloomers are not blooming yet, but will be included if they bloom and can be harvested before killing frost:
Hibiscus sabdariffa
Hibiscus radiatus

Note that for H. moscheutos ssp. moscheutos and for both H. syriacus, the database shows a variety of colors. Anyone viewing should look for the photos Horntoad submitted to see what they actually be getting. Or they can just look at his plant list which shows his photos. Important: in order to allow as many varieties to bloom and mature, and give the winners a larger collection, this prize will not ship until early November.

Victory Seed Company is providing another $25 gift certificate for this month's raffle. It may be too late this year to sow a garden in your neck of the woods, but the certificate won't expire until you are ready to use it. You can hold onto it and use it later this year when you are planning your 2016 garden, or even use it to shop for those gardeners on your holiday shopping list! The Victory Seed Company is a family owned and operated, small farm-based organization working to keep rare and threatened plant varieties available to home gardeners. All of their seeds are open-pollinated, open source, non-hybrid, and not chemically treated. As an early signer of the "Safe Seed Pledge" they will never knowingly sell GMO seeds. Many of the varieties are family heirlooms, most are old standard varieties that are now hard to find elsewhere.

SRQHoyas is providing three hoya plants: Hoya rotundiflora, Hoya pubicalyx 'Black Dragon' and Hoya 'Shepherdii'. SRQHoyas offers many species of hoya plants collected from around the world. Hoya plants are succulent tropical house or garden plants that bloom throughout the year and many times over. They are very easy to grow and require little care except warmth, humidity and a good drink of water once a week. There are so many different hoyas that it is impossible to explain what they look like. I ship small plants as well as cuttings to the United States and cuttings are available for International shipping.
