I would love to get some yellow lycoris. I have some double daffs, they are an old type & multiply fast. I might find a few Purple Sensation allium, but they will be hard to find since they are scattered & have died back already. Also have heuchera Pewter Veil or heucherella Strike it Rich gold.

What a lovely site you have. Enjoyed looking at all your pictures of flowers, especially hydrangeas. I looked at your site, and the only thing I have that is on your list is: a Leatherleaf viburnum and another viburnum, that I don't know the name of. It is evergreen, blooms from Dec. until spring, white flowers. It is about 15 ft. tall, so I have to do severe pruning. But willing to do cuttings. I am interested in cuttings of your red hydrangea or any panticulata hydrangea. They are quite easy to root also. I have rooted over 50 off of my forever pink, and give plants away every yr. If interested, please contact me.

I have several colors of Watsonia to trade for other uncommon bulbs or tubers, or plants with colorful foliage. Colors are: red/orange, pale red, light orange (possibly W. meriana var. bulbillifera), creamy white. Each color would be labeled so you would not get just a mixed batch. I'm looking for NAMED cannas with colorful foliage and other plants with colorful foliage and/or unusual bulbs. See my trade list for other items I have. If you're interested send me a link to your trade list or a list of plants.

OK, the snow is gone and we should all be able to start getting into our gardens. The details for this bulb swap are posted at the top of this email -- I'm not going to post them again -- but the deadline date will now be the end of April. I have had mostly sign-ups via email, which is fine, but if you want to participate and haven't yet emailed me for my address, now is the time! I'm looking forward to starting this tradition in the Canadian Gardening Exchange forum, I think a Spring and Fall Bulb Swap would be a really nice way to exchange some extra bulbs that you've divided and a really nice way to try some new ones! Happy Spring!

Hi Tommy,

I'd really love some dahila tubers though.
The red hydrangea has spoken already.
Are there anything I can offer?
Or I can root the hydrangea for you.
Please email me through GardenWeb.
Thanks!

Hi Seiko,
I'm interested in trading for roses in the fall. In particular for Folksinger and Vineyard Song.
I do have Mme. Legras de St. Germain potted up since spring. I can start rooting my roses for you now if you let me know which ones you are interested in.(I just started my rose rooting project for the year, lol) I also have a beautiful tuberous begonia that I have pics of. It could use a good home for the winter.
I think I could find my geranium daffs. I know I could find a few of my Festival Blue Hyacinths.
We could probably figure other things you would like also.

Would you be interested in Lycoris squamigera (magic lily) bulbs for your bamboo Alphonse Karr? I have oodles of them already dug.

Hi Sandye1951,

Thanks for your offering.
However, I'm afraid to tell you that I have to pass on your offer.
Since shipping cost is not cheap and it took so much time/effort to dig Alphones Karr up.
So that I can't justify to exchange only one type of plant.
I am very sorry.
