brenda you got some of my pulmonaria! the reason i was digging amethyst out was because she was hogging my poopr pulmonaria's space. it's a nice plant- enjoy! looks like this thread is gonna max out before the swap. that's gotta be some sort of record!! vickie- i love most of the rex begonias, and some of the more unusual other cool foiliage ones(but not the angelwings so much). you're probably thiinking of the place where i said i was intersted in a hardy begonia that had long tublar, or sorta anyhow, coral red flowers. pdn has it, but i don''t know the botanic offhand. was hoping it speads like the other hardies and someone who bought it would be willing to share. no biggie if not- i'll probably eventually buy it. i don't think brenda had hardy fsuchias- i was looking for them. she's got gartenmeister which is z 9, i think- so a cool basement one here. lovely, though. i looked up sophie cecile and it says & has pix of rose pink blooms. not fond of pink, really. dana- on a plant dig/save today and there were maple leaved viburnums everywhere. so i got a few there- no worries about bringing one for me. thank you much. if you've already dug it, i can take it or you can pass it along to someone else. alicia, thanks for the seedling. i only need 1, though. gotta go get the dig stuff potted up. tam

I'm brand new to the swap and can't wait! I was out of town for the Spring swap and have been waiting for the Fall date. I've got to get busy potting up divisions. Brenda, I'd love some Black Cohosh and Bloodroot if anything below interests you. Karen or Alicia if you have any 'Hot Lips' to spare I'm interested and any shorter salvia varieties that you might have. I'm also in need of: Purple coneflower since the voles got mine last year. Brunnera - especially the silver varieties Gaura Siskiyou (pink) Tiarella Astilbe Peach Blossom Agapanthus Variegated Hakone Grass Forget-me-not (myosotis) Hellebores (I must be the only gardener without any) I have to offer: Aster Snowflurry Dogwood seedlings Tree seedlings - while oak, maple, tulip poplar Chinese Indigo (Indigofera kirilowii) Native Heucherra seedlings - green variety that tolerates sun or shade and is pretty much indestructable Wild ginger (it's native - I don't know the strain) Native ferns (sorry, don't know the strains but I can email you photos if interested) Daylilies 'Paper Butterfly' and 'Stargazer' Epimedium Rubrum Purple Creeping Thyme Light Purple Phlox (I don't know the variety) and David Japanese Iris 'Joy Peters' Amsomia Blue Star Iris Cristata (native) Veronica Georgia Blue Geranium Cranesbill 'Blood Red' (pink/purple flower) Chrysanthemum White Bomb

Brenda - please try to make it. I won't allow anyone to comment on your offerings. I need my Brenda fix for the year. By the way, the deer have started to damage the 7.5 foot tall net fence I installed. So far they haven't done anything inside the garden but I'm spending way too much time patching the fence. This winter I'm putting up wire and going all the way to 8 feet!!!

Hey everybody! Hate to hijack on old thread but for some reason I can't start a new post and I can only sometimes respond to other people's posts. Not sure what I did to piss somebody off.... Anyway, the Spring 2014 Raleigh Swap is in the same location as always on Saturday, April 19th (Easter Weekend) from 2 to 4. All the other weekends were booked and more than likely the shelter will be booked before our swap so come prepared. Hopefully winter will be OVER by then. Can't wait to see everyone.
