    Ok- i'll post this to both threads since we got a little spread wide here. :) The first line is what i'm bringing, second what you're bringing. A (?) after your name/plant means i don't know if you want the item, or if you can bring it- please let me know, thanks. brenda- cyclamen hederifolia, asclepias tuberosum seedling(?) snakeroot, curly willow ralph- gold coin plectranthus, cuban oregano, any other plects(?), moses in a boat impatiens zombensis(?) Dana- dicliptera subulata epimedium 'merlin'(?) Karen- Dianthus japonica S. karwinskii RJ- troutlilies, rose epimedium sprekelia, fern (later), calanthe orchid Judy- 2 divvy's of lipstick hardy begonia(?), monkshood seedling (or corydalis, is fine, too) Elsie (off threads)- pot of jap maples midnight salvia bringing to the general swap so far- iris cristata, dianthus japonica, japanese maple seedlings, small dogwoods, 1 divvy of lipstick salvia, a forsythia, 2 seedling contorted poncirus 'flying dragon', 2 dame's rocket (purple or white), rudbeckia triloba, hellebore orientalis seedlings, horehound, lathyrus latifolia (perennial sweet pea), tricostemma 'blue curls' and anise agastache. I will be pretty busy this week, but some possibilities that i could still dig: woodland phlox, a mini bearded iris that is mustardy yellow with a bright blue beard, sedums, carolina jessamine seedlings, butterfly pea, and lots more stuff on my trade page I also have a ton of tricostemma and aquilegia canadensis babies i could pull up the morn of- they are where i don't want them in the drive. The columbine don't normally transplant well, but they shouldn't be too hard coming from the gravel and if i know someone wants them... Looking for autumn fern, ostrich fern, and especially 'dehlia's purple' that i brought divisions of to a few people a few yrs back. I lost my mother plant to some disease. It's an old fashioned rose and the chances of finding it elsewhere are nil since my mentor never was able to ID it out, so she named it. I don't know if i could get it from her again- the homestead where it is is ways off and she's in poor health. Also, i seem to have lost my hardy begonias. I think i gave away too many one year and the drough finished off the rest. Would love to get white or pink, but esp the white.

    I'll try to get outside this week and figure out what i have to bring to the swap & post. i know i spotted some small carolina jessamines i need to dig for starters. I'll probably have a couple japanese climbing ferns, too.

    all the details:

    Everything should be the same as usual. Let me know if anything needs to be addressed.

    Announcing the 2009 Raleigh Spring Swap
    Where: Creech Road Elementary School Park, Garner NC 27529
    When: Saturday April 11, 2009
    What Time: shelter rented from 2pm until 4pm
    There is also a pot luck picnic - so prepare to eat!

    New to the swaps? Dont panic, we are a friendly bunch. There are very few rules (we like it that way). Check the "Special Trades Thread" on GardenWeb/Carolina Gardening/Exhanges subforum for details concerning any special plants anyone is offering for special requests in exchange. Special trades are traded outside of the general swap - which is more or less a free for all. If you donÂt have any plants to trade, bring food (homemade is worth more than store bought by this group). DonÂt think that we only want to discuss or trade exotic or hard to find plants - it ainÂt so! we like the common stuff just as much. No matter what you bring, someone will want it, and if no one wants it you can take it back home or we can just toss it out at the end of the mayhem. The way this works is we pile all the general swap plants together on the picnic tables (no special method, just jumbled together). We do a quick walk around to explain any unusual plants. Everyone lines up on the edge of the shelter after they have designated a "Cache" or stash spot in the lawn outside the shelter. I ding a bell and everyone rushes in and grabs ONE plant, and then hauls it over to their stash site. Everyone lines up and we do it again. After a few rounds like this I up it to TWO plants per ding and eventually we just grab anything that is left over. I know it sounds messy but this systems works the best. By having the plants jumbled together on the table and not segregated into sections we keep the crowd of swappers from knocking each other over. By having the first few rounds for one plant, everyone gets a shot at the choice stuff.

    Remember that this is really a way for you to meet people interested in the same style of gardening that you practice - or a way to get great starting out advice.

    The Raleigh Spring Swap will be held at Creech Road Elementary School Park which is the same spot we held swaps the past. The park has a large shelter with bathrooms and running water/electricity. The shelter is a short walk from the parking lot so be prepared to haul your plants to and fro. This town park is a combination Elementary school playground/city park recreation area - so if you can find the school you can find the park. The shelter is at the back of the schoolÂs parking lot on your right as you drive in.

    Set up begins as soon as the shelter is free (hopefully no one will be there before us). General Swap begins at 2:30pm ish. As soon as the dust settles and weÂve broken up any fistfights we will all sit down to a pot luck picnic lunch and behave like civilized gardeners. At any time special trades can be conducted either at the shelter or in the parking lot.

    Need more help finding the place? Plug this data into mapquest (www.mapquest.com):
    Creech Road Elementary School, 400 Creech Road, Garner NC 27529

    Mapquest will also give you detailed instructions on how to get from your house to the park and back home again. For those of you somewhat familiar with the area, here are the basics: Garner is a suburb of Raleigh. Downtown Garner is 10 minutes from downtown Raleigh and due south of it. The swap location is just past old downtown Garner on the east side of town, north of Hwy 70. Though many of the roads I will mention are highways, in this area they look and feel more like city streets. Get off of Interstate 40 on exit #299 and head south (away from downtown Raleigh). The road you are on is called Person Street or Hammond Road depending on which direction you are going, as it comes into Garner it becomes Timber Drive (there is no "welcome to Garner" sign on this road). Pretty soon you will approach a large intersection of Hwy 70 and Timber Drive. You want to turn left and head east. There are two left turn lanes at this intersection, choose the right lane of these two rather than the far left. You will go through a few traffic lights. The street Vandora Springs will cross overhead. The next street crossing overhead is Hwy 50, exit on the right onto Hwy 50 and cross over Hwy 70. At the first traffic light turn Right onto Old Garner Road East and head east. After passing by old downtown Garner youÂll see a traffic light, turn Left onto Creech Road. You will see wooded parks and tennis courts and baseball diamonds on your right. The Elementary School is just after all that, on your right with a large blue sign. There is only one parking lot. The shelter for the swap is at the end of the parking lot on the right hand side.

    Tammy - Trianglegardener has the spleenwort. TriangleJohn has just one spleen and no worts!!! hee hee hee - he so funny.

    Magick - I over wintered some Black Magic but they look awful so don't expect much. Somewhere I had some Illustris also but I don't see them in my big pile of elephants. I picked up some little tiny starts of the newest versions of Alocasia's at the Philadelphia Flower Show, none are winter hardy here, one is a super dark glossy black. If it ever grows I will be sharing but it is supposed to be very slow growing.

    The correct name is Alocasia infernalis 'Kapit'. It doesn't get big, maybe two feet. I wanted it for patio containers. To me it looks more like a philodendron. I bought others as well, but they are all so tiny.. .I have trouble believing they are all gonna make it.

    oops- john i admit- i just read the triangle part and didn't think any further. Well, i don't need your spleen thanks. You keep it- really. I don't want any worts either. ;^P

    So- trigardener, i have some toadlily i'd love to swap for your spleenwort. The one i have the most of is 'amethystina'.

    I was scouting out in my yard today and i have 5 pots of jessamine, 2 pots of chrysanthemum 'country girl' seedlings, a couple pots of euphorbia robbiae, a couple pots of lathyrus latifolia seedlings (perenn sweet pea), some rudbeckia triloba, and a couple starts of the old fashioned bridal wreath spirea we've talked about before as well as lots of hellebore seedlings to dig still.

    There's a list on my swap page of stuff i always have in abundance that i can dig, like obediant plant, b&b salvia, aromatic aster, jewelweed starts, perilla starts,' cherry bells' campanula puntacta, 'fireworks' goldenrod, etc. I haven't updated it lately, but feel free to ask if you see something you want.

    My wife got very sick at Christmas with pneumonia and only recently got out of the hospital. She is finally able to walk again and is in outpatient rehab getting stronger every day. As a result I have not yet started any seeds or divided the cuttings that I took last fall. Even so, I do have have some of the old standbys plus a few new things to offer for trade. (I still have most of the plants, if only as cuttings, listed on my original trade list which I have not updated.) The new stuff includes a beautiful green & yellow variegated Shell Ginger (Alpina zerumbet) which I believe that I can separate. Also, several unusual colors of Sun Coleus and of Double Flowered Impatiens. The latter include 'Apple Blossom', 'Ole Peach Sorbet', variegated "Pink Frost" and several other colors. Also, three versions of the new hybrid Euphorbia 'Diamond Frost', Silver Fog', etc. that make a basketball sized mound of tiny white flowers that last until late fall. Pineapple Guava seedlings that are now 2 years old in 1-gal pots. Plenty of the hardy Impatien arguta plus I. omeiana. And the following - May Apple, Japanese Painted Fern, Portulaca 'Giant Bicolor', Angel Trumpet 'Charles Grimaldi', Lysimachia 'Goldilocks' and 'Outback Sunset', Arum italicum, Toad Lilies including the variegated 'Lightning Strike', several Salvias including 'San Carlos Festival', Mexican Bush sage and uliglnosa; Bloodflower or Mexican Butterfly Weed (Asclepias curassavica) in gallon pots already in flower; Celandine poppies; hardy Fuchsia 'Sanihof'; Mexican petunias (Ruellia) and several varieties of Tradescantia.

    I have noticed that there are lots of little seedlings of Verbena-On-A-Stick (V. bonariensis) coming up in one of my lettuce beds. Anyone who would like some, let me know. I will pot them up in 6-packs.
    Likewise, the yellow-flowered day-blooming Evening Primrose (Oenothera berlandiera Siskiyou) around my mailbox needs thinning and I can pot these up in 6-packs for anyone that wants some. Be aware that these will spread out, but they do not appear to be as aggressive as the pink flowered O. speciosa. I have mine planted in a ring around the mailbox between the lawn and Stella d'Oro day lilies and they have grown into both.

    Brenda, thanks for the offer, but I'm not even organized enough for specials this spring. Hopefully I'll be in touch with you later in the season to see if there's anything we can swap here in N. Durham. I'm looking at all kinds of great plants right now that came from your garden to mine in past years (bloodroot, tiarella, brunnera, kirengoshoma, goodyera, iris tectorum, etc, etc) and thinking how much I've benefited from your propagation efforts. As for that salvia, Ralph had another and I met up with him after the big plant grab in Raleigh last fall, so I'm all caught up. My greenhouse is coming along, so I should be able to do a lot more salvia propagating for future swaps.

    Ralph, I'm so sorry to hear what a time your family has had this winter, and glad that your wife is making progress in rehab. I've got a few things tucked away out there in my jungle that I thought you would like and will save them for next time I see you.

    Ralph, so sorry that things have been rough for you and your family. It is good to hear that your wife is recovering. It will be great to see you both.

    Well, my green house turned into a brown house this winter. I lost power to it during one of the cold fronts. We were out of town so it was not discovered until later. Most everything is gone or at least appears that way. I've cut everything way back and am waiting for any minute signs of life. Some of these things have sentimental value so I really am shattered.

    Some of the things that look like goners are: a pink hibiscus that my MIL gave me at least 10 years ago. I have traded rooted cutting for it in the past. (I really stink at rooting cuttings, so if someone has this and could root a cutting for me for next swap I would be eternally grateful) A plain pineapple, the rainbow pineapple pups seem to have made it. Those are the two biggies. Other things that I really will miss are cuban oregano that Ralph included in one of our trades and the newest additions: tibouchina and a sweet little white flowering thing from Tammy's fair plot. I am always looking for shade loving plants and eventhough my trade page is not current my wants rarely changes.
    I'll be bringing tomatoes as always Mortgage Lifter, Rutgers, Mr Stripey, Green Zebra, a Black, Hugh's Yellow, Galina's White Cherry, Jelly Bean (if it germinates), San Marzano. Squash, basil, eggplant and peppers (if they germinates). I also will have pink yarrow and monarda. I'm sure there will be more.

    Aww- Shannon! So sorry to hear that. Listen, i have one little pot of tibouchina that now has your name on it (i wasn't sure why i was hanging onto it but now i know!). Not sure what little white flowered thing you are referring to- can you give me more clues? if i have some, i'll share happily. I still have that pineapple pup cluster you gave me, but am thinking it was the rainbow, not the plain. Serrated edges? There's plenty to share, so if it was the plain, let me know and i'll bring some. I'll happily snag some of your maters as i haven't started any yet (late as always...)

    Suzanne, i'd be happy to trade with you! I have several of the things you're looking for, and you have some stuff i'd like. So- i can get you some georgia blue, coneflower, rudbeckia triloba ( abit different that the typical rudbeckia), and cuttings of powis castle and hot lips, both easy t grow from cuttings. I'd love to get some mini mondo, mini daffs (later is fine)and some of your wild ginger. do you have the deciduous type (asarum canadensis) or the evergreen (hexastylis) kind? I'm especially looking for the deciduous, but will be happy with either. What color is your iris?

My husband and father can watch the kids while my sister, mother and I disperse baked goods/talk plants.

    Tammy, thanks for the tibouchina. I'll bring you tomatoes and any other veggies you desire, do you want one of each? I traded you rainbow pineapple, much more prickly than the plain one, but pretty by the end of summer. Were you the person I had planned on trading for a stevia at the fall swap? I ended up not being able to attend. Let me know what I else I can bring for you.

    Ralph, that cuban oregano was one of the surprises in your box a couple of years ago and it turned out to be such a favorite. Your boxes are always more than generous and I end up feeling that it is totally a lopsided trade. I'll bring you one of each veggie like always.

    Hey Sally! Didn't know if you were coming or not. Just wanted to remind you about the Canna 'Intrique' from the Fall Swap:) I haven't been organized enough for special trades this year,lol.

    Sally, I would love to trade with you for Tricyrtis 'Autumn Glow'. Do you have either of the variegated Tricyrtis' 'Lightning Strike' and or 'Samurai'? Also, either or both Monardas? I can dig some M. 'Jacob Kline' for you if you are interested. I am interested in either Canna and your Tradescatia and Var. Hosta if I have something that you would like in return. I posted a partial list of things that I have available earlier in this discussion. Are you still interested in Mexican Petunias? I need to dig several clumps from the flowerbed in front of our house and can bring you several if you want them.
    Root Digger. I will bring two Pineapple Guava and give them to Tammy for you.
    Brenda, my Impatien zombensis still lives. I can take a cutting and either bring it tomorrow, or root it myself and give it to you later? I bought an Impatiens species from Tony in February. I can divide a piece of it for you also if you like.

    Shari- Thanks for the reminder...I have Intrigue for you. ;-)
    Ralph, your ALWAYS have something I would like to have! ;-)

    I can bring you all you listed from what I have. I would like the a pineapple guava if you have one, and one of the Euphorbia. Also my big fuzzy tradescantia that you gave me got hit by the last frost, even though it was in the garage) so if you have some, I'd love it. If you are able to divide the shell ginger, I'd love a piece, and some hardy impatien and Lysimachia 'Outback Sunset'.

    Looking forward to seeing you all.
