Someone here sent me cuttings last year, but they didn't root. I would really like to find a rooted cutting, but would also consider cuttings (try again) or seeds. I don't have much to trade, plant wise. I have confederate Jasmine rooted cuttings. Baby white oak trees, Would also of course do postage as well. Just really like this coleus, and can't find no where online to purchase it.

It is still June, so not so bad, it is going to be much worse later. From the list of repeat blooming roses that I don't spray these are the winners so far. Knock out - healthy Darlow's Enigma - healthy Home Run -healthy Puerto Rico -15 % leaf loss Ducher -15% leaf loss Arethusa -10 % leaf loss Earth Song -15% leaf loss Quitness - 10% leaf loss New Dawn - less then 10% Awakening -less then 10% Lyda -20% Belinda's Dream -30% Perle d'Or -30% Cecille Brunner -30% Marie Pavie- 40% Illusion -10% Quadra - 5-10% White Cup- 15% Carefree Sunshine -less then 10% In my sister's no spray garden close to me Dublin Bay- 10% Dortmund -10-15% Knock out -healthy Colette -30% McCartney Rose - 20% I also have plenty of healthy once bloomers and species that I never spray, too many to list now. If anybody interested, I can always share with them. I do spray my Austins, Bourbons and moderns. They would be 100% bald by now w/o spray. I see it in my sisters organic garden. Good culture, plenty of sun and defoliated roses :( I am trying to get rid of roses that require spraying, but it is so difficult to part with some of them (Lady Hillingdon, Yolande de Aragon, Deuil de Dr Reynaud, Abraham Darby, etc). They all are huge and beautiful. I am givivng away more and more of these to good homes. Olga

I am sure there are good gardening centers around Dothan. Dothan is a very nice little city and is home to one of the largest hospitals in the state, if not the largest, so there would be demand for good gardens there. They are also home to the Wiregrass Botanical Gardens where you might want to visit the gardens there and get ideas for plants that do well there. Alabama is home to Bellingrath Gardens that grows some fine azaleas. Dogwoods are special and need good culture to get started. Speak with a nurserymen about these. Dogwoods like to grow where birds drop their seed better than any place else, but given the right conditions, they will do beautifully and are a lovely compliment to any garden with their delicate bloom and airy architecture. If all else fails, just up the road in Montgomery, is a wonderful landscape nursery, Southern Homes & Gardens, which grows many of its own plants in their fields and have a great selection for the landscape. Of course, azaleas do perfectly in Alabama, but they must be provided they have some shade secondary to the heat here. Bridal wreath, a form of spirea, that blooms simultaneously with azaleas really mades azaleas "pop" and adds a lovely airy look to the garden.
