I'm interested, Laura, but timing is crutial between trips and work. I'll be out of the country next week, here for a couple of weeks and then away again. Ah, the retired life! However, now I have to work like crazy to get the garden ready for winter. Hopefully the frost will not come while I am away. Laura, more northerly is good as well, but Rona is always easy to find.

Would like (but do not have to have) Hardy geraniums Hellebores Dianthus Hardy persimmon seedling Asters Hardy cyclamen Brunera Primulas Daphne Mountain laurel Very hardy camelia Trillium Real quince (not flowering) Hazelnut Turk-cap lilies Paw-Paw Blueberries I have sent people e-mails as to what might fit their need. Also, I have several types of bamboo, needs to be dug, including edible. I tried to send an e-mail, but there wasn't one. If you have what I want, we can dig what you like, good dirt, not a hard job. Look at my list as well.

I have tons of garden wants, but here's what's been on my mind lately (greatly influenced by what I saw on your "Have" lists): Cranesbill/hardy geranium (anything other than the terribly strong, citronella-smelling kind--I have that one) Black raspberry cane Sweet woodruff Hellebore (to replace the trades I killed last year) Burgundy hellebore Lemon balm More snow drops (love these!!) Crocus Winter aconite Japanese anemone Digitalis (foxglove) Another Japanese fern Peony, white Cutting from a yellow climbing rose that will climb 10 feet or more Cutting from any fragrant or high-climbing rose Melampodium Sanvitalia (creeping zinnia) Stock Eupatorium coelestinum (hardy ageratum/mist flower) Symphytum (comphrey) Thalictrum (meadow rue) Tiarella (false mitrewort) Trillium (wake-robin) Trollium (globe flower) Viola odorata Arisaema (jack in the pulpit) Aruncus (goat's beard) Dictamus (gas plant) Sanguinaria canadensis (bloodroot), especially "Multiplex" Heuchera (coralbells) Iris cristata Chrysogonum virginianum (goldenstar) Eustoma grandiflorum (lisianthus) - pink, double petalled variety Irish moss Any moss Primrose Asparagus Watercress French tarragon Any interesting hosta (suggest one and I'll look it up) Whoa! I think I got carried away!

I can only take anything that is deer-proof, as everything else basically disappears from my garden. That's a pretty short list, but here are some I could use more of: Monkshood (any variety) Trillium Ferns (especially varieties other than Christmas fern, which I have lots of) Bleeding Heart Astilbe Iris (especially any named or unusual varieties) Columbine Lavender Perennial salvia Heuchera Virginia bluebells Echinacea Foxgloves (digitalis) Pulmonaria Anything else that's deer-resistant and shade-tolerant Also, my vegetable garden is fenced off, so I might be interested in some veggie plants.
