hi there, my hardy amaryllis are all red, the naked ladies/suprise lillies are also red. i have a number of daffodils, i think i have some that are white with a pink center. i can get a list of the ones that i have for you. oh, boy, i just took a look at your trade list. man, you have a lot of beautiful stuff! the tulip tardia do not need to be dug and chilled in the south, they are not big, but take a look at them. i also have some heirloom parrot glads that are really nice. these are pretty rare and go for about $9 apiece on the heirloom bulb sites. email me and i can send a picture. it looks like you dont have several of the dls that i have available. maybe you would like some of them? the little orange tex and the rosie meyer are both rebloomers. let me think, i have some dutch iris, mixed glads. what color are your Parrot Lilies? the ones that i am looking for are like the ones that you buy at the florist. open with speckles. i goggled them and there are several varieties, some that dont open very much. i hope we can figure out a good trade for us both. i love big trades, get lots of new babies and save on postage! :-) Tracie

Hello.. congrats on moving to the tropics to garden.. how lovely :):) I have tropical basil plants from Phillipines .. or so I am told .. Dont' ingest just in case ... loool. Was told it was used as medicine in Phillipines for chest and colds etc .. as herbal. I just use it for a plant .. have cuttings also will have some passion flower seeds soon. Have some spiders.. and some geranium cuttins also. Clivia lilies and seed. I have access to hibiscus cuttings also.. but don't know how to send the cuttings to keep them viable. I am new here and open to whatever you have surplus of . I live in Southern Calif. Warm Regards, Tina

I'm helping out at my kids school, where they are knocking down some buildings and are auctioning off a # of mature plants. Rhodies, purple plums, cherry trees, lots of pines/spruce - all very large though, would need real equipment to dig up and move. SOmeone from the school may be offering a digger for the day (june 18 or 21? A Sat.). I doubt the large plants are going to go in the auction, if they don't I could let you know, and for a very small donation you could get. Are you anywhere near Woodinville? Let me know if you wnat more info. Cathie

Hi Evelyn, I just posted that I have some tropical Lavender Lace for trade. It's your zone! I also just put my pond lilies and lotus down to the bottom of my pond this last weekend! I grew lotus from seed, and most of them did very well, you just have to remember NOT TO BREAK THE GROWING TIPS!! AND, I did break a few before I got the hang of it :) I got my seeds free and from trades so I had more than a few to work with! I also bought some lotus, and managed to have one HUGE lotus put out pads all over the place, hopefully next summer it will bloom for me :) I am certain if you try just one more time you too can grow them from seeds :) It is really fun to see them come up and out of a container, grow pads, and then grow up into big pots!! Please let me know if you might be interested in my Lavender Lace water lilies? I might be able to cut some tubers off mine in the early summer too! Thanks, Patricia_mi
