Hi catsoup, Would you be interested in trading an assortment of about 50 Bulbs -small to medium size - mostly Blazing Star Liatris, Ixias. Maybe a few Mexican shell flowers, Blue Poppy Anemones, Mixed Hardy Glads and Montbretias. One big Dahlia corm included for your White Rain Lily Bulbs ? Jasmine danhlexus@yahoo.com "daylily-crazy"

The slideshows are photos from a plantation owned by a foundation. The 'Plant Lady' hopes to train younger people before she gets too old to continue maintaining the grounds and the Butterfly Garden. As for my little patch in the photos above, it's designed so that when I'm no longer able to tend it, it can mostly revert to wild and the other parts be mowed over with a big mower. Because of rampant growth in this part of the country, I have lots of wide paths that are kept mowed so I can watch for snakes. And the Michelia did smell heavenly, even with only a small portion of open blooms. The native azaleas smelled good. It was a marvelous tour.

I have a snail vine and a corkscrew vine. Both have identical foliage but the flowers are different. The snail vine has lavender flowers with no scent. The corkscrew vine blooms are white and pink and smell wonderful. Karyn The first pic is the snail vine, the second is the corkscrew vine.

Trades are getting slimmer. I've been weeding out the plants I don't want over the past few years and haven't got enough of the plants I like to be able to divide much. Hope that changes in a year or two! I can bring: My seed stash 1 black walnut seedling Daylilies (unknown type but definitely not ditch lilies) Mums (yellow) Black eyed susans Grape hyacinth bulbs Lycoris bulbs Small flowered coreopsis seedlings Russian sage cuttings (roots easily in water during the spring) Star of Bethlehem bulbs (can be VERY invasive and is very poisonous to dogs and cats but perhaps in a pot it wouldn't be too bad) Hyacinthoides (wood hyacinth)-white I may not get to dig all of these (time is getting short), so let me know if you want something and I'll make sure I bring it.
