I really really really want a nice colection of your orange daylily. I can use as many as you want to give me but Im not picky. Some monkey grass and some Ivy would be great also. Please look at my list, I know its small but Its all I got at the moment. If you cant find anything on the list you like then I would gladly send postage. Let me know. Have a wonderful day, Brandy

I can send you a nice selection of Parrot Feather, Water Lettuce either solid green or Variegated, Umbrella Palm, and a Dwarf EE that propagates by runners and is excellent in pond or on ground. Let me know size of your pond or amount of each item you need and a list of Osterich Fern and Hostas for an equitable trade. Thanks Xjaxx Jack jatoni@sc.rr.com

There's lots of different kinds of 'elephant ears', and some are almost impossible to kill while others are kinda on the finicky side. With any plant, so far as I know, when leaves go bad it's a good idea to cut them off. I don't know if it's true, but somebody told me a long time ago that the plants actually waste energy trying to heal the bad leaves and they can't. In any case, I think it's best to take them off. I have one that needs water so much that if it even goes a few hours without water in the basin the pot sits in it'll get bad leaves, and I cut 'em off regularly. It's really thirsty! Some others will get damaged leaves if they get too much water, so it's helpful to have an idea of what you have.

nicholsworth55 - I like the rocks. Worn with moss and maybe lichens. Are they from your yard? I pay about $15.50 per 100 lbs (45 kg) of loose rock like that but with no moss or lichens. In the past when available I've paid $15 per rock with lichens on them. In a former home I had too many rocks like that and spent several hours per month stacking them in piles. While I'm off-topic, last week I got some pics of ferns growing out of cracks & seams in rocks. These are mature and young Purple Cliff Brake Ferns along the Shenandoah River and Potomac River confluence in MD: A few Purple Cliff Brake Ferns growing with some type of Bulbet(?) Ferns in the same area. As well as young and spore-bearing mature Bulbet(?) Ferns. I haven't figured out what type of fern that is yet. The Purple Cliff Brake is an evergreen. I'm not sure if the other one is but it probably isn't. Most evergreen ferns in my region have darker, thicker, and waxy-looking leaves: These are Sensitive Ferns along a north-facing wall at my home in June. They are volunteers. I must have about 2 doz babies growing around it this year with all the rain. They are not evergreens: These remind me of the tropical Philodendron Selloum. I have Christmas Ferns as well (evergreens) but rabbits ate most of their leaves this year. They didn't in previous years. Now they are just stem spikes sticking out of the ground.
