I agree with your sentiments about the site, but maybe it was neccessary. And though I have moved to Southern IL, I really miss it, too. I did join the local garden club, but that has yet to prove more connection. I am formerly gardenhag.

Normally, you start with a theme for round robin trades, but the natural theme here would be hoya cuttings and plants. Although, it'd be neat to do themes based on flower color, leaf pattern, or even Hoya sections! But, since I think this is the first time someone has offered to do a round robin (I'm planning to do a monthly one this spring/summer, if anyone is interested), we should treat it as more of a trade/swap. The way I do themed round robins would go something like this: March 2017 Round Robin - Splashy leaves Those who want to participate would send me their name and address in an email. I would then send a cutting of a hoya with splashy leaves to a participating person. I usually send my cutting to the person furthest from me. For pretend sake, we will use moonwolf as an example. I send my gift (cutting) to him, along with the list of addresses and names of participating members. He, in turn, crosses his name off the list, and picks someone to send a splashy leaf cutting to. The next person follows suit, making sure to cross their names off the list, as the robin goes round. I always make myself the last person to receive a cutting, as I started the Round Robin. For non-themed round robins, like this one, if you want to do one, I follow the same rules for themed, but allow participating members to make personal wish lists. This wish list should include at LEAST 5, but no more than 10, plants/cuttings.
