Hi ruthz - I know very little about day lilies in general, and equally little about the ones that are growing on our property! We do have some very large whites and pinks. Also some late bloomers, but most of those are yellows or red/oranges. We would love to find someone to come out and help us identify them when they bloom next year. IN the meantime I'm hoping to start dividing and giving some away to friends who stopped by when they were blooming to pick out their favorites. Ultimately, we would love to sell some of them - our long range plan is to reduce the total number of plants by about 2/3. I know that some of them are hybrids created by the former owner, and I believe there is one named for her: "Emma Griffing" by Grovatt, but I don't know what it looks like! I found a description online and I believe it is a large pale yellow, but that's all I know. We are a couple hours' drive from York, just outside of Philadelphia. As for what I want to trade for, I want to establish a butterfly and hummingbird garden, and I'm also fond of berries :-)

Hi, I would love to have whatever seeds you may have....this is my first year winter sowing and increasing my garden variety so I do not have anything to trade YET, lol.... but I hope this summer is my year to get into that.... I would gladly send whatever in the way of postage if you tell me the proper way to do it....thanks

I can send you one cutting of each Aeonium arboreum and Aeonium arboreum cv. Schwarzkopf. I think I have more Aeonium but not sure the ID and not sure it's ready to cut off. I also have several echinopsis babies. My problem is I've just moved my plants to our new home and need a week or more for them to rest from a long road trip. Mid of August will be fine to trade. Let me know.

Great description Bejoy! I would add ... label plants with whatever you have around such as popsicle sticks or cut up plastic containers. Easy to dig up the larger plants, slip into plastic bags & write on the bag with sharpie marker. It's also courteous to warn the person if you are sharing a thug plant. Some locations can handle thugs if you know ahead of time. These swaps have beautified our gardens with fabulous plants adapted to PNW. I've only had a few plants weren't what claimed to be & identified before they were established. We created mounded lasagna beds expanding and connecting the front garden to a side garden all along the length of the mobile home where we live at a camp. The planting holes were amended with cured homemade compost and soil. The only casualty was a white lilac sucker from a 2 gallon container, which I must not have liked our very wet spring, rich lasagna layers, & compost/lime in the hole. Clay soil & rocks because something easier to work with using the lasagna method. I moved some of our existing plant material planting closely and know we're going to move plants out come fall. Here are some pics of some of the new beds along the path. Plants already in place before the redo: fruit trees, snowball bushes, shasta daisy, forget me not, serbian bellflower, salal, and serviceberry. Thank you to gardeners who have shared with us at GE & Oly swaps :o) We have 4 more improved garden areas, but not pics this time. 1. view from driveway down path toward trail in woods with 2 dry wells dug to control the water flow since this area is the lowest in the yard/driveway From 2010 flower garden 2. view from middle of path toward driveway From 2010 flower garden 3. view from mid grass toward driveway with veggie garden along driveway length in background From 2010 flower garden 4. closer shot toward driveway to include Darlow's Enigma rose bush hubby dug out from Craigslist (Owner used a chain saw to cut it back in order to dig out & when we were transplanting it here it broke into 4 rooted parts, so we planted all 4 of them successfully.)
