countrygirl and judy - could i have a little gus b too?? I hope you find something that you do not have to take from me. i can probably take a few smaller pots off your hands. tamelask I have some bamboo(not sure what kind yet) and/or I can bring you some red dianthus slips for the alstromeria Laura I have the tall white phlox pulled for you. thank you for the wood spurge. Ratgirl I looked and I have a several hostas. what do you already have? see you all tomorrow.

casalester, the lady fern makes a nice clump and is easy. spleenwort does make a clump but it's small- like maybe 8" when full grown, so i doubt you'll get much coverage. It is evergreen, though. your choice. lisianthuslover, my bad. i just assumed b/c you'd seen jeri's rose... i do recall digging alstromeria this spring. It was a bit frantic, though at the swap. be nice to put a face to a name. i do have some ornamental oregano, can get you some. Carla, yes, i remember now! Super cute. Sure, swing by afterwards and get a branch. but you can have a pot, too- i have several. :) by the time you move it might be to a whole 2'! LOL yes, dogridge, i have plenty of pawpaws. Your name is on one! :)

where abouts in Durham are you? I saw bridalwreath spirea for sale at witherspoon rose culture (on 15-501) last week. I got my sweet betsy and a lot of my old fashioned plants as cuttings from my husbands grandmother so I can't help you with that. I would try the Durham farmers market, there have been plenty of people with plants the last couple weeks, lots of vegetable starts but also a good number of perennials. I've also had good luck at For Garden's Sake on 751. The Southern Bulb company has some very nice things including spider lily (they are only listing the spring planted bulbs right now) and Old House Gardens has spider lily, snowdrops, suprise lily, and silver bells. http://www.oldhousegardens.com/index.asp http://www.southernbulbs.com/servlet/the-Spring-Bulbs-cln-Zone-7/Categories

The bulbs are blooming here...took some pics. The hyacinth are much more beautiful in person. The clump on the left are a dark pink, the ones in the middle are a hot pink w/ dark red stems, the two on the right and far right are white. They are all fragrant. Also have some white narcissus w/ yellow and orange cups. Sedum autumn joy, dutch iris, a little lupine seedling that volunteered itself, and some crocus. Oh yeh and a hydrangea bush!
