Geranium 'Stanhoe' 1-1qt. pot

Susan,
I feel that I am being greedy but I lost my Nepeta "walker's Low " with the weather so please give me one and also Arabis caucasia, Geranium "Stanhoe" and Geranium "Bill Wallis". Thank you. Although you said no trade, can I tempt you with geranium "Cambridge"? or geranium "walgrave Pink"? or Autumn Joy sedum?

Susan, I could use two Sarcococca humilis. I was just at the store thinking about buying them, in fact! I could also use a Nepeta "Walker's Low".

I, too, hate to feel greedy... Do you have any interest in a small Mahonia x media 'Underway', a 1 gallon (I think) Cornus nuttallii, or a Japanese honeysuckle?

Yeah! I've missed other swaps at this location. So glad I happened to checked this site today so I learned about it. I will be there. I live in the Totem Lake area of Kirkland. I could use some 1 gallon or smaller pots - if someone has some and lives not too far I'd be happy to pick them up from whomever has any. I can be reached at 206-300-0790 or gottaplantitnow at gmail dot com Lynda Haneman

Hi Ruth, I would be interested in your licorice fern and your hydrangea. I don't know if I have much you are interested in on my list, but please take a look. I also have a very nice large heather that I got recently from a friend that was digging things up and was planning on discarding them. I am not sure of the name, but the foliage is a lighter green. It is getting reddish tips right now with the cooler weather. I can't be sure of the bloom, but I think it might be a light pink or mauve. Let me know if you'd be interested because otherwise I won't be bringing it to the trade. Suzy

Here are my trade lists: Plants I have to trade: 17 common lilac 8 cotula perpusilla 'brass buttons' -gray, spreading ground cover 8 oregano 9 caraway thyme 2 longwood (?) thyme 5 hairy (?) thyme 3 campanula takiesima 'Elizabeth' -said to be invasive, for me it's just slowly spreading 1 muehlenbeckia axillaris -ground cover 1 scabiosa 'butterfly blue' 1 bronze fennel *warning*: fennel is now on WA state's noxious plant list, so you have to deadhead so it can't reseed. 1 saxifrage 'london pride' 1 burnet 5 lemon balm -invasive, in my opinion. Good for a pot. 1 cyclamen -an outdoor type 1 arum maybe? shield shaped green leaves, about 6" long Plants I am looking for: I'm flexible, but here are some I'm hoping to find: oriental poppy phlomis bee balm/bergamot love in a mist borage tarragon winter savory centurea -perennial cornflower geranium himalayense gladwin iris ragged robin penstemon garnet lavatera novella gladiolus communis 'byzantinus' xenox sedum ironweed? (is it invasive here?) tree mallows, especially lavatera thuringiaca 'barnsley' blueberries flowering quince tree peony (dream on, eh?) holboellia coriacia

Tita, You're not being greedy! I will put you down for 1 nepeta, 1 arabis, 1 Stanhoe, and 1 Bill Wallis.

I am a veteran of plant swaps and have taken loads home before, believe me. I love geraniums, but I actually have enough at this time.

Thane, I've got you down for 2 sarcococca, 2 Indian Plums, and 1 nepata. I also have access to sword fern, if you want 1 or 2. I would love your mahonia 'underway' and your toad lily. Thanks, Susan

Susan, hope you read this before you leave in the morning. I seem to have come down with the flu or a cold and won't be coming tomorrow to bring my germs :-( Sounds like Tom would like the Hebe so you have a taker. Thanks anyways!
