14 years ago

I have had a lot of computer problems which caused some trades to fall by the wayside. I hope that is in the past, and if we talked before you will give me another chance.

HAVE:

bananas - ice cream, super dwarf, 1000 finger, raja puri, ladyfinger, dwarf plantain, dwarf red and praying hands.

variegated crinium lily

hedychium kewense

hedychium angustifolia peach

callisa fragrans variegata

lots of bromeliads

yellow walking iris

heliconia rostrata

heliconia jacquinii

heliconia wagneriana

purple stem costus

costus spitcus

alocasia borneo giant

WISH LIST:

named orchids

figs I don't have

canna thai one on

hedychium vanilla ice

salvia leucantha santa barbara - dwarf mexican sage

farfugium japonicum kaimon dake

farfugium japonicum giganteum

marble elephant ear

edibles I don't have

small gingers I don't have

your artwork or craft

anything beautiful and uncommon that doesn't get to large and does well in south Florida.

I have a full garden and have been collecting for years so please don't be offended if I already have what you offer. That said please don't be afraid to offer something not listed I am a plant junkie and would love a few good trades.

The Roselle will be ready to harvest when none of the calyxes are green, but blood red and even dryish in texture. Fully mature calyxes are plump and deep red and the stems that they are on are longer than the ones shown in the picture. Those in the pic are not ready. After you harvest, you peel them (calyxes) from the "seed", and wash them. Smash some fresh ginger with a heavy object !!!! add some cloves, and steep everything together for half-a-day in freshly boiled water.(Just enough water to cover the leaves.) Pour the liquid off and put aside. Add more hot water to the leaves and steep again. Pour off and combine with the previous amount. Add some rum (preferably Jamaican) and sweeten with lots of sugar (to taste) Chill. Serve with lots of ice cubes. Enjoy!!! By now you know that I am Jamaican.

Please look at my list to see if I can offer you anything for a ladyfinger, raja puri, kewense ginger and variegated crinum.
I will also have some cuttings of plumerias (white, yellow, pink and red) as soon as they stop flowering.
We traded before.
Thanks.
