I used to have this and removed it for more unique plants and now I miss it. LOL I have pink butterfly ginger aka hedychium kewense, gloriosa lily, red amaryllis, maybe a blood lily (but not a box full). I also have criniums but not the ones on your wish list.

Dana, Sorry to take so long to read your follow up. I would love to trade for some iris and groundcover. I'm moving soon and trying to dress up my yard for sale. Email me at eamoody@emory.edu and we'll arrange a trade. I would also love the rosemary for the next house, so even if it's not ready yet I'd be willing to wait. You decide what you can part with most.

I don't have photos of anything. I guess I must be more verbally oriented than visually oriented, because I never even think about taking photos. Partly, too, it is because when I am outside, I am busy literally from sunup to sundown and barely have time to eat. Maintaining a large property is hard, and I exhaust myself during the spring planting and summer harvesting season. If I had it to do over again, I'd buy 2 or 3 acres and not 15. If my criunum even bloomed last year, I somehow missed it and I don't know how. We are in an ongoing moderate drought here with drought conditions since August 2007, and I didn't water the veggie garden much last summer as the drought progressed because the water bill was getting outrageously high from all the watering around the home landscape. My crinum is on the northwestern edge of the cottage border that surrounds the veggie garden, so it gets afternoon shade and is happy there. Unfortunately, I don't spend a lot of time at the end of garden unless I'm harvesting corn, beans or squash from the "Three Sisters" garden. The four crinums I planted this year are closer to the house where I can see them daily. There are in a bed on the east side of the house so they'll actually get a little more sun than my original crinum does down by the garden because it is shaded by trees that are west of the garden. I guess if I don't get good blooms from the original crinum this year, I'll move it up closer to the other ones this fall. The foliage was up and thick and lush and a very late freeze froze it back hard a couple of weeks ago.

Howdy ~ I know its been a hundred years since you posted this, but do you still have any of the butterfly ginger left? I'm also in Coppell. ~ Amy
