I have Cahaba Lily and Giant White Spider Lily if you're interested in them to trade for some of your unusual stuff like the one pictured with the purple looking flowers, crocosmia bulbs or rooted brug cuttings. Obviously plants that do well in the desert, indoors or out. Info on Cahaba can be found here: http://nativeplantsfromala.blogspot.com/2010/03/most-beloved-lily-in-alabama-cahaba.html\ They do grow in moving streams and rivers and I've also seen them in a very large pond in a greenhouse in San Francisco but I and others grown them here in the desert in the ground with average water. They usually bloom here in the late summer even in high temps well over 100 deg. The plants are very impressive even when not blooming. These are pretty large bulbs. The giant spider lily grows up to 5 or 6 ft. tall and produces 12 in. wide bloom clusters of 35 to 40 white 5in spider shaped blossoms which are very fragrant. I have rooted pups of these about 6 in. tall. These do best with afternoon shade if grown in high temp areas. Let me know here if you're interested and we'll communicate through e-mail.Thanks!

I haven't been able to get in touch with tsmith either. Just lurking here, curious about such an old post being on page one. I just tired to email tsmith2579 (just testing) and get the message: Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, you@example.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. I contacted GW (via the Contact Us link found at the bottom of every page), explaining the problem and copied the URL of this thread for them as well. Hopefully they will get tsmith fixed up. When experiencing problems, don't hesitate making GW aware of them so they can get them fixed. There is a dropdown box on the form that one must change from the default. I used 'technical problem with the site' or something like that Sue...resident busy body

My list is not entirely current, but you are welcome to look at that too. Hope to hear from you! :) leila
