HAVE: What I have for Grn Elephant trade...is it worth it?

17 years ago

Most of these perennials are still seedlings. I want to know if anyone actually wants any of them before I make the drive...

Hi There,
Even if you come with nothing it will be worth your while if you are beginning and need plants. There will be lots of extras there and also people often will post things ahead of time that will require no trades. I haven't updated my have list since the last trade, but take a look and let me know if you see anything you want and I will let you know if still available.

I'd be interested in any or all of the following seedlings
Columbine "Biedermeier Dwarfs"
Delphinium "Pacific Giants"
Pansy "Winter"
Penstemon
Purple ConeflowerSalvia "Blue Bedder"
Shasta Daisy "Little Princess"
I'm also interested in the following seeds if you still have some and would be more than happy to bring you plants in exchange for seeds. Any of the following would be great. You have a great list going!
AMARANTH '06(T) - "Love Lies Bleeding"
CALENDULA '06(C) - "Pygmy Mix"
NASTURTIUM '06(C) - "Alaska Dwarf"
NEMESIA '06(C) - "Pastel Mix"
POPPY '06(C) - "Iceland"
POPPY, FEATHER '06(C) - "Fluffy Ruffles"
SALVIA '06(T) - "Coral Nymph"
SNAPDRAGON '06(T) - "Night & Day"
SPIDERFLOWER '06(C) - "Rose Queen"
STRAWFLOWER '06(C) - "Semi-Dwarf Bouquet"
DELPHINIUM '06(G) - "Blue Mirror" -
CORN '06(T) - "Peaches & Cream"

Dear Nettasura,

Your perennial starts are wonderful. I recommend that you bring a sharpie marker and some plastic tags (old plastic miniblinds work great) so that people can identify their seedlings. That will help seal the deals.

But don't worry that they are small. Many of the people at the Green Elephant see the potential in small starts.

Regards,

Jim

I have Cahaba Lily and Giant White Spider Lily if you're interested in them to trade for some of your unusual stuff like the one pictured with the purple looking flowers, crocosmia bulbs or rooted brug cuttings. Obviously plants that do well in the desert, indoors or out. Info on Cahaba can be found here: http://nativeplantsfromala.blogspot.com/2010/03/most-beloved-lily-in-alabama-cahaba.html\ They do grow in moving streams and rivers and I've also seen them in a very large pond in a greenhouse in San Francisco but I and others grown them here in the desert in the ground with average water. They usually bloom here in the late summer even in high temps well over 100 deg. The plants are very impressive even when not blooming. These are pretty large bulbs. The giant spider lily grows up to 5 or 6 ft. tall and produces 12 in. wide bloom clusters of 35 to 40 white 5in spider shaped blossoms which are very fragrant. I have rooted pups of these about 6 in. tall. These do best with afternoon shade if grown in high temp areas. Let me know here if you're interested and we'll communicate through e-mail.Thanks!

Thanks, reading the other post was extremely helpfull. After reading went out and cut one of the stalks and it was hollow, so burdock it is. Funny how, when I pull Burdock up none of the web sites show pictures that look anything like my plant, but I knew it wasn't Rubarb, so I'll be digging it up and getting rid of it. Thanks again!

Many thanks to Jim and everyone! For those who left between 11:00 and 11:30, it stopped raining at 11:32. Sooper-dooper thanks to the Bejoys, Kellycomposter, TreePalm and everyone else with whom I traded. I did end up with a few things that I forgot what they were by the time I got home. But they are wonderfull nonetheless! See you all again in the spring! pj

Update. Haves: I did some spring cleaning and I came across some wooden Trellis scrap. These vary in size from small to medium size (need an SUV to haul away). If interested contact me via email for a trade. Some of these I can carry to the swap. but the larger ones you will have to pick up. NOIDs: cuttings are from cuttings taken from Carrie few season back I think. Colors range from lite pinks, whites, and peaches. I do have several NOIDs that may have survived our cold weather from last winter. Each one was cut back to the ground before first frost and look like they may have survied. I will dig these up for trade for something special. All brug cuttings will be cuttings without a Y's and may not bloom this year. Adora (not sure if this is the right name) Brug cuttings. Wants: Indoor house plants. Low light to medium light conditions. Sweet heart plants, pathos, and other types of indoor plants Named Brugs Dr Seuss Brug Daturas Honey Suckles Passion Vine Shrimp Plant red or yellow Candel Stick plant Succulents Sedums Milk and Wine Lily Crinum zeylanicum Turk's caps Esperanza also know as Yellow Bells, Hardy Yellow Trumpet, Trumpet-flower, Yellow Elder Texas Star Hibiscus Hardy Hibiscus Please send me an email if interested in a trade...

I'd be interested in the Aubretia, delphiniums, and penstemon (color?) as well as some spiderflower, corn, and other seeds. I'll be bringing a bunch of seeds myself, and some leftovers from the swap at my house. Hope to see you there!

oooh, sounds fun. :) Save a seedling for me, please, and I'd love to trade for seedling flats if you have extra.

I can bring you seeds for dianthus (mix of red, white, pinks), cosmos (pink, white, light purple, and dark purple mixed) calendula (bright yellow, bright orange, or pale yellow), coreopsis (sunburst or a nice short one sunrise, I think). I also have english daisy, bellis rosea plants, as well as dusty miller rooted cuttings, an extra artemisia if you like grey foliage.

Let me know if you want some or all (yes, it is ok to say all!) and I'll set them aside for you. I'd love 3-5 seedling trays if you can get them. If they have the clear dome and drip tray, I'd love those too.

thank you!

I'n new to GardenWeb, but I've been to several trades with my Mom, Marie. I am interested in almost everything you have listed, especially the perennial starts, but I don't have a lot to trade. My Mom is the real enthusiast, so if you have trades arranged with her already, don't bring extra for me. It all has to go home in one car.
