WANTED: Mother's Day Plants

If it were up to me, I would give my mom a lot more plants. However, she prefers to have 30 plants (all in pots) instead of 300, which means I have to limit things a bit.

So I figured I'd post some of the extas I've propagated, intending them to go towards the Gardenweb members who are mothers, or towards member's mothers perhaps.

{{gwi:37173}}

1) Impatiens flanaganae. Tuberous and decidous. COOL GROWER.

2) Lapageria rosea, white. 1.5 year old seedling, 2 years to bloom? COOL GROWER.

3) Petunia exserta. Tender perennial, hummingbird pollinated in wild.

4) Calla 'Hercules' (Zantedeschia aethiopica). Gets as big as 7 feet in favorable conditions.

5) Silene capensis. 'Xhosa Dream Herb'. Said to induce lucid/vivid dreams. Night-scented.

6) Aristolochia macroura (A. trilobata). Bizarre and briefly foul-smelling.

7) Erythrina crista-galli. Tree. Seeds from a famous spectacular local specimen.

8) Sonchus arboreus. Tree dandelion. Seriously. This may be still too young/small. COOL GROWER?

9) Agapetes 'Ludgvan Cross'. Caudiciform, epiphyte. COOL GROWER.

  1. Lysionotus pauciflorus. Gesneriad, somewhat cold tolerant. Best grown in a mesh pot.

  2. Impatiens tinctoria. Tuberous, huge, fragrant. COOL GROWER.

I'm sending for postage. My plan is to send these individually. These should ship for under a pound in most or all cases.

Cool growers typically won't survive an average American summer. They are generally best along the Pacific coast, or, in some cases the far North. I'll send those to people in an appropriate climate only.
