WANTED: Wants mostly

17 years ago

I have few plants or seeds to trade. I am looking to fill a sun drenched hillside with plants which are not appealing to deer, and could stand some direct summer sun without alot of watering. I am on a limited income, but would like to keep the hillside from just washing away. I am looking for the following. If you have extras, I can send a slef addressed stamped bubble envelope. I would appreciate anything, thank you. I do have a sad orchid, I rescued from the garabage heap and I can send out some small and very few right now, more later white Japanese anemones - these would be divisions and may take awhile before they bloom, they are in bloom at present.

Would really like, any type of salvia, ferns - especially native californians (I have a few shady places) cannas, penstomens, agrostemmas, yarrow, especially the non white ones, orange cosmos, california poppy, would love a daphne odora marginata (not too hopeful on this one - the deer dont like em) any of the grasses, any flax, clarkia, godetia, native iris, tidy tips, gallardia, echinachia, forte night lily (either color) or anything which you think might work. Oh, I would love onion bulbs, and some Rhodohypoxia if anyone has some - I love those little plants. Thank you.

Hi Mazer,

Thank you for saving that orchid!

I will be leaving for a month long trip to Australia starting tomorrow and will return on October1, but wanted to give you a quick response.

If you send a self addressed stamped envelope, I'd be glad to help keep you hillside from washing away with some California Golden Poppy seeds when I get back home. For privacy reasons, please email me for my address (click on "bigbeebee," then "send me an email.")

I have amaryllis belladonna bulbs (naked ladies) and also agave parryi truncata. E-mail me direct and I can send pictures. I would be willing to send for postage. Both of these will take full sun, drought, and deer.

You can have as much California native deergrass seed as you like. Wonderful in holding difficult steep hillsides. My yard is a fairly young garden of California drought-tolerant natives. Anyone in the area is welcome to stop by for fresh clippings of various plants upon request (penstemons, sages, etc.) and any seeds.
