Jen, I can send cuttings of the plum. I have not tried to root them and was wondering if you had. I might try to root the Guthrie after it leafs out more. I can also send a bulb of the Eucommis. You can propagate Eucommis by carefully pulling a leaf off and planting the base of it in a small container of good potting soil. The leaf will gradually produce 2 small bulblets by the end of summer. I think Chickasaw Plums require 2 different plants to pollinate before they can fruit. The Indians had hundreds of cultivars, probably lost now. Does Cerinthe major grow easily for you? Mine keep dying. Mexican Petunia, dwarf pink is one I don't have. I'm waiting to see if Mirabilis longiflora comes back. It has smaller but very long stemmed white flowers with a fragrance similar to M.jalapa. I can swap you for a seed or two of Senna didymobotrya. I have Cassia or Senna hebecarpa, similar to C. marylandica. Have Salvia leucantha- Velvet Sage in two varieties. We may get seed of Sinocalycanthus this year. It had a few pods last year. Mike

Sorry......for your area there is nothing with that coloring that holds its leaves all year. In fact, there are a very limited number of plants that offer that feature for even very mild climate gardens. The closest you may be able to get is to use lavender for a hedge. 'Hidcote' English lavender stays very compact compared to most varieties and has a very dark purple flower. You will need to shear the plant tightly on an annual basis to keep in a neat, hedge-like form. There are some other, almost dwarf forms as well but Hidcote is very hardy and widely available.

Hi, I donot have african violets to trade but other outside vegetable and flower seeds, let me know if you can trade for it. Thanks you.

Hi Ann, Yes! Yes! Yes! I would definitely be interested in them and would love to have baby plantlets!! What may I bring for you in return ??? Thank you!!! Marianne
