You might get a better response if you post that you will send postage before the plants are shipped - postage is very expensive.

With that being said, I have found it cheaper to go to the box stores and buy plants, rather than spend money on postage.

At this time of year, all the box stores have many, many plants on markdown racks, sometimes for as little as a dollar each.

Hi sunshine98,

I suggest you update your member profile to reflect that you now live in zone 9b. Just go to the bottom of any page and click on the Member Pages link and go from there.

Flowers, bulbs, canna or other rhyzomes, herb plants, etc.
You might want to also update your Member Trade Page (same link as above) and maybe be a bit more specific about what you would like and what grows well in your area. For example, me being in zone 5/6, I am clueless about what will grow and thrive there.

I'm guessing that it is too warm of a zone to grow bearded irises, right?

Happy Trading!

A close friend of mine who is also an avid gardener recently had her teenage daughter pass away. I would like to help her setup a small memorial area in her yard with 3 or 4 perennials and/or a small tree or shrub with Amanda in the name so she has a living memorial to her daughter who also liked to garden. any suggestions are most welcome Thank You Pam

WANTED: Hosta Guardian Angel, others for memory garden

Comments (0)
Hello all- I am new here so I'm not really sure how this works, but I thought it was worth trying... I have a dear friend who lost his son a few years ago. His family has spent numerous hours creating a memory garden for their son on a piece of land that was donated to them. The land is gorgeous and it is wonderful as it is used by youth camps so many people are able to see and use this wonderful garden. My friend was very kind and had a stone made for my brother who has also passed and placed it in the garden as well. We are planning on making a trip to visit my friend this summer and I would love to have a few plants for him and his family to make part of their garden. This space is wooded so receives very limited light, so hostas would work great. I have a few plants that I could trade, unfortunately none of them are too special, but hopefully someone out there would be interested... Iris - Unknown color Chives Sedum ground cover with yellow flowers Striptease hosta Golden Tiara hosta Unknown varigated hostas Francee hosta Ditch lilies... everyone's favorite! :) If anyone is interested please just send me a note. Again, I'm brand new to this, but would love to do one or two larger swaps. Thanks in advance!

Tink62, I don't have any of these, but I am just wondering, don't you want THAT actual cultivar, instead of just seeds which would likely be a very different plant? If you haven't already, you might want to post on the Daylily Forum. You probably won't find fans available right now though because many people wait until late summer to divide their daylilies.

You're welcome.

Well good to see you got your profile and trade list updated, but in the meantime, your Member Page email link disappeared. Am I a stickler for details or what?
I 'suggest' go to Edit Your Membership Details and at the bottom of the page, check the dropdown box Show my email address to MEMBERS and also check the box for Allow other users to send you email via forms at our site.

It is so hot in so many parts of the country that a lot of members aren't doing much trading or sharing at this time. I'd suggest you continue to watch for trades and 'postage offers' for things of interest and then a bit later make a new trade post (since there is a pretty good difference between zone 8 and zone 9b.)
