Wanted: echinaceas, rudbeckias. Have list here

joannpalmyra
13 years ago

I would love to have more perennial cutting flowers.

I have some purple coneflower and black eyed susan (both rudbeckias?) and a coral colored echinacea. I tend to confuse echinacea and rudbeckia. Or rather, they confuse me. O_o

My daisies seem to have disappeared.

I add a few buddleia blooms and some pink yarrow and that makes a decent vase group, but kind of lacking.

I crave color!

I tend to forget the proper name of my perennials as soon as they are in the ground, so please forgive me.

I'll do my best to describe. I can also take photos.

Plants I have to trade: lady's mantle, black eyed susan, purple coneflower, pink yarrow, purple spiderwort,

wide leaf hosta, a sedum that blooms clusters of little yellow stars, hens & chicks, columbine, Rose of sharon, cranesbill geranium,

a wild plant with teeny pink flowers and fern-like foliage, a silver-gray plant that I think makes a good bouquet filler, babys breath.

If I think of more I'll add them later. :)

PS: can someone tell me how to make a swap list? I've seen mention of it, but can't figure it out.
