We just moved here (Delaware) from PA this past July! I'd love to do a trade with you but by seed box is all outdated by at least a year or more! We knew we were moving last year and I never planted what I had. I'm not really looking to set up a trade at all.. I just wanted to speak up and say hello from Deli!! If you don't get anything else from another Deli neighbor, I'd be happy to run to my nearest store and grab something to complete your mission. ~~ I know... that's not the point, but to be so close and not fulfill your 50 states?!? I'm going to keep track of the posts to see if any neighbors post! :) Happy Gardening! This post was edited by gardeningwithlcgrace on Tue, Feb 26, 13 at 8:45

It may clear some fears; On Mon, Aug 22, 2011 at 1:17 PM, Charles Barnhoorn (Hadeco) wrote: Hello Arif, Cucumber mosaic virus is not so common in Hipps. Leaves show large yellow concentrated rings and stripes. Also affects many other kinds of bulbs and other plants. More common is Hippeastrum mosaic virus (symptoms: yellow streaking with alternating patterns of light and dark green) and Tomato Bronze Virus (circles, white marks and streaks and wavy erratic leaf shape) All are transmitted by aphids, thrips etc mostly while in flower. Generally only transmitted by insects or mechanical damage. Causes some general weakening of the plant although this is usually only noticeable after a few seasons. Bulblets will also be affected. Kind regards, Charles Thank you Charles, Am I correct to understand that, an affected mosaic virus bulb will continue to bloom for some time and will also produce bulb lets which will have the disease but will mature to bloom. In short it would be like a genetically weak breed having short blooming life. Arif Arif, Essentially, yes that is correct. Many growers around the world maintain stocks of virus infected plants because the effects are usually quite minimal. Our belief however is that it is better to have best quality and clean stocks and so we ensure that virus is not present. Kind regards, Charles

Hiya Stush, Am sorry to hear you're getting stiffed on postage, that is just NOT right. May I pls. suggest you wait to get approximate postage FIRST & then send out the plants? A friend on here used to do big mailings of plants cuttings but after having been stiffed way too many times, he had to resort to asking folks to pay postage first please. Sadly too many folks out there eager to advantage (oops, think even I owe you postage for the striped Sans. you recently sent me).

Hi Sunita, I am open to anything and my wish list includes: wave petunia, Perennials butterfly weed (not milkweed) Delphinum Echinacea 'Razzmatazz' Coreopsis Hosta Verbascum - any colors Let me know what you have.
