Lucky P - a far outlying population of q michuaxii no doubt ;) Frank, gonna be several more years probably before you have a good feel for the heritage here. Mature bark and acorns will help, although twig ID drawings could be helpful now. With oaks you always want to ID the acorn bearing tree if possible before collecting. This still does not rule out hybrids, but at least you know half the genetics. My guess was a joke (hence the winking smiley), I did not mean for it to be taken seriously. John

Meow! Two boxes arrived today! And Dad told me last night that we were only waiting on one. Well, in his defense, he was pretty drugged up. He came home with a tired achey back, so I slipped some catnip into the margarita he had with dinner. What a combination! It always gets my fur in a tizzy...lol! You've all been great to play with, even you humans weren't too bad! LOL! I need to go take my late-afternoon nap, so I'm going to let my lovely assistant take over and do some accounting. She'll figure out if everyone has received their box or not. If everyone has, then she'll close out the swap. I do have one question before we end though. Would anyone like to meet back here towards the end of the summer and have a perennial swap? I'll host again if so. Let me know, and stay tuned. You never know what's going to happen next! Happy Purring & Slobbering! (had to include the canines, right?) -Bump the Magnificent, otherwise known as His Majesty =========================================================== Now, doesn't that figure? There's work to be done, and "His Majesty" walks off and leaves me to do it! Hiss! Spit! Meowr! Don't you worry, I'll get him! TRUST ME!!! ***sigh*** Meowrr, so you humans need me to tell you if everyone has received their box in this swap? Well, give me a few minutes, and I'll let you know. Let's seee..... Dan sends to dem_pa sent/received ishareflowers sends to poisondartfrog sent/received wispfox sends to lindaruzicka sent/received jlee160 sends to ishareflowers sent/received dem_pa sends to wispfox sent/received gardencraze sends to mchill320 sent/received micyrey sends to jlee160 sent/received poisondartfrog sends to dan_the_mailman sent/received Linda sends to gardencraze sent/received mchill320 sends to micyrey sent/received And there you have it. Everyone sent and received a box of goodies, and I must say, there were some very interesting boxes! Put your paws together and give yourselves a nice round of applause! As Bump mentioned before he ran off (the old goat), we're thinking of hosting a perennial exchange, probably posting it around the first of August with everyone mailing out their boxes towards the end of August or first week of September, which should give all those nice juicy plants plenty of time to settle in before winter comes. What do you think? Wishing you all a happy, fun-filled summer... -Stella, Her Royal Highness

Nice map, CA! Mark, I was hoping that Mother Nature would send some of the rain elsewhere... now if only she'll listen to my plea for a little sun and saving some of the rain here for the summer! Well, since it's about 2:45 am, and I'm up again... I figured I'd do something constructive. Soooo... I decided to make clickable links for all of the DC's that have been posted so far. CA can keep us going with the map and I'll try to keep up with making clickable links for them as the rest come in :) Melissa 0309 0330 0000 5379 3115 Mark 0103 8555 7497 0825 7697 CA 0308 3390 0001 2393 4411 Karen 0308 0730 0000 2115 9278 Linda 0308 3390 0000 9953 2765 Denise 0308 0660 0000 0845 8563 Monica 0309 0330 0001 3059 5168 Dan 0308 3390 0000 2354 5212 Becky 0307 3330 0001 8134 4312 Kathy 0308 0070 0001 4811 6166 Now mine hasn't actually made it to the PO yet... I have DC slips that I keep at home to save Cliff time when he takes them to work and mails them from the PO he works from. Sooo, the question begs to be added.. when will it go? LOL, within the next couple days, but won't it still be fun to track it and find out? That looks like 10 out of 15 to me, Bump! Not bad for the couple days! Kathy
