Hello, I would love to trade for the water lotus plants and water lilies. I have typhonium venosum - Voodoo lily bulbs, as well as some houseplants I can split off. For you in zone 10 they could be planted outdoors. I have to split: Kalanchoe humilis Plectranthus coleoides - Nico selaginella kraussiana - Frosty Fern Nepenthes ventricosa- Hanging Pitcher Plant Beaucarnea recurvata- Ponytail palm Plectranthus verticillatus- Whorled Sweedish Ivy I live in zone 6 so I would have to hold the trade untill April1st. It'll be too cold before that. Let me know! Thanks, Nina

Hi colpac, Welcome to Garden Web and The Plant Exchange I thought you might like to know there is no email link on your member page, thus no way to email you. Please see addressing newbie and newer member issues for instructions. While you are there editing, you might want to place your state abbreviation in the one box provided for the garden zone (and Location). You will find it is often beneficial if members know where you are located...... It is a postage cost, days in transit, temperature/climate thing to be considered when trading plants. See I am zone 5/6 S IN hth. Sue...chemocurl

lol! Kristy, your black container sounds just like what I am using. I'd take a pic but my camera seems to only be working when it wants to. Think I need new rechargable batteries. ANywho, I am going to throw some other plants in there also. I didn't realize your dragon pots were so huge, lol. You can just use something light as a filler for the bottom..like styrofoam..ya know the big squares and rectangles used in packaging like tv's and stuff? Just cut it to the sizes you need and stack 'em in. Make sure they are close to the interior so they are stable. Then rest your container which the lotus is in on top of that. Just an idea? Or if you have a plant stand that would fit in there to rest the lotus pot on? Even if the lotus pot was an inch or so over the edge of the dragon pot, you could plant some kinda water plant that could drape over the edges to cover that inch or so of lotus pot. El, I have never heard of it called pea rock or pea gravel, we call it pea stone here. I was lucky I didnt have to go get any, We put it in the kids play area and front fenced in area a couple years ago. Couldnt keep grass there, so much foot traffic from the kids and dog, it just wasn't growing. So I just scooped a bucket's worth of stone up from there. I'm surprised you guys couldn't find the composted cow manure. I used that plus my own compost. I'm gonna have to do something about getting water movement in there though, I am nervous about it becoming stanky! Gotta get a spitter. I have a lil pump..i just have to find it. Are you all gonna have moveing water or just skeeter dunks? I can't wait till I get a leaf!!! Daniella

Hello, I just cleaned out one of my ponds. I have water lilies ready to go; may be pink, yellow, white with yellow or pink tips. I had to cut the pots off a couple of years ago and I just dropped them in the pond. Don't know which is which. I just divided them a couple of days ago. Would like some red flare if you have any left and want to trade. Thanks, Tammy
