Wow, those are beautiful! I don't have much to trade, as deer seem to love almost anything I plant, but I do have Stella de Oro lilies that I need to divide now. I also have three butterfly bushes, each of purple, white, and pink. And tons of daffodils. Let me know if you're interested! Chandres

I have Jacob cline monarda, purple siberian iris, and daylilies. Please email! Melinda

Phyl, I agree with Steve. Moanrda seems easy to tear out in spring. How well does Monarda grow in pots? Not only does it spread like a disease, it also tends to look shabby by late summer. I like growing it to attract hummingbirds, but would love to be able to move it out of sight by August.

Misery loves company! I've been hand picking (with a tweezer) these little B%*#^@&s for a few weeks now, drowning them in a cup of water. They destroy the buds either deforming or eliminating the blooms. I believe this is the culprit, Pyrausta signatalis-monarda/horsemint caterpillar: Someone had posted a link for me last year about this critter, and there isn't alot of info on it, but I'm 99.9% positive it's this guy. Whenever I see the moth, I've been smashing it, usually when it lands on a leaf. So far, this years damage has been extensive on my "Jacob Cline", but they're moving on to the "Marshall's Delight", which just started blooming for me. They didn't bother with the "Blue Stocking" or "Claire Grace", which bloom later than the first two for me. Good luck ;) Tracey
