I have around 100 different minis, so lots to trade. I don't have Cat's Eye, it's not a good grower, but have plenty of other choices. I'm looking for Frozen Margarita, Silvery Slugproof, Maui Blue Kittens, and High Noon. I'm located between Iowa City and Cedar Rapids.

Awwwww, how cute! :) Now yer talkin' when you mention Masquerade. I suppose it is my very favorite small to mini plant ever. I now have purchased three of them, with a total of six eyes to date, and I cannot wait for them to multiply and divide. I also have Munchkin, which is the green form of Masquerade so they say. Wish I could remember who it is on our forum who has Masquerade in the border, because that is what sold me on getting Masquerade. I have Tot Tot, which is small, then the longissima and clausa species which are lanceolate, and Chartreuse Wiggles and Curly Fries, which make a nice spiky round-top mound. I thought that The Razor's Edge was going to be smallish, but it is very vigorous, and has already filled its 8-inch pot. It has red petioles, but with the top so lush, you have to brush them aside to take a peek at the petioles. It is a candidate for eye level viewing, still in a pot. I am very pleased with Kinbotan and Golden Tiara, which have a big hosta attitude, although not a heavy substance so far anyway. Just how big does Whirlwind and Ann Kulpa get? Both are lovely plants, might work under the maples. I think you have discovered a way to deal with your maple roots. Plant more minis, and perhaps have a groundcover look with a pattern of Masquerade and some other yellow or green fast multiplying mini.

You could try Sagina subulata, Irish Moss. Shouldn't be hard to find. It likes the shade and should look nice around the mini hostas. And it won't take over. Karen

So what did I chose? And you can imagine how hard that was! For the larges: Amalia (who could resist Donna's photos?) And Ooh La la. I have never been able to forget that one ever since seeing it at a garden tour. I don't think its a good grower, and I haven't seen anyone posting photos of it. But I just got to try it out for myself. For the smalls I got: Stilletto, Lakeside Down Sized, Hush Puppie, Mini Skirt, Church Mouse, Hyuga Urajiro and Curly Fries. Some of ones on the list were not available or sold out unfortunately. I wanted Teaspoon (sold out)! I love the list and I will use it when shopping again for smalls and minis. I had to really stifle myself and not purchase all that I wanted. I began purchasing minis last year and had a few losses so I am not feeling very confident in my ability to grow them.
