Bambi,please dont let the bad ones ruin it for you! I felt this way because of one person,one that owes you hibiscus did it to me too,anyway,so many good trades have happened since then and I am glad I didnt give up! She actually had me nervous about trading,wondering if I was going to ever get someone elses end again! I decided not to let this person ruin it for me,and I am so glad I didnt! When it comes down to it the good does out weigh the bad,I am more selective about who I trade with since the incident with the "Taker",and check the rate and review for people I havent traded with before.I have just recently traded with a bunch of newbies that are fantastic and have a great future in trading and will be good traders.I took a chance on them, being they are brand new and have no feedback,but they all came through wonderfully and restored my faith! Please dont ditch us just yet,I dont see why you should miss out on all the good trading that does take place here, because of people that should be the ones to go! Take their names to the Rate and Review thread,report your experience with these people,than the rest of us can make the decision not to trade with them and before long they will not be a problem anymore!If we dont know who these people are,and your experience has not been reported,than they get to run freely through the boards doing this stuff time and time again.Reporting it here is wonderful,but not everyone will look at this thread to read what you had to say,but at the rate and review they will.Remeber GW isnt the only place these people trade,so why punish your self,when it can happen elsewhere,too? Stick around and have some good trades,I promise you wont regret it! :)

Alicia, I have a lot of jack-in-the-pulpit in the woodland in my backyard. I have seen the flowers of them this year, but the "fruits" and seeds won't be ready until end of summer or early fall, if I remember correctly. If you are interested, would you mind sending the trumpet vine now and I will return the jack-in-the pulpit later (when the seeds are ready)? Or I can also send a SASE. Since you said you had tons, can I have about 30? I would like to try some this year, and if it is too late now, and winter kills them, I will have some to try next year.

ok, i have emailed everyone back, :') and i am so happy to get homes for some of these babies!! WOOO HOOO!!! now here's the deal, most of ya know, they are poisonous, so no nibbling on these, LOL you can drink the nectar from the trumpet vine, it tastes good!! talla loves to do that, but i have to remind her that the humingbirds need something to drink!! LOL ~Medo

ok, how i root mine is to get soil in a 1 gal baggie, then i mist it, then poke the holes in there where you are going to put the plants, (make sure the dirt is damp). now you strip your vine til up two leaves. wet it, dip it in rooting horomone. make sure you cut it just below the node (where the leave was). stick the vine in the soil pat the soil lightly around the vine, once you have done all of the vine's. mist the vines. now seal all but say......2-3 inches. blow the bag up with YOUR breath. till its full and make sure to keep it full while your zipping it shut. i hang it in a window, not where the sun comes in brightly. and in about 2 weeks i have roots. good luck!! ~Medo
