Comments (30)I've been collecting up a few each of a number of plants to bring to Sunday's swap. I haven't heard much as far as requests so for the most part, I'm bringing plants that will eventually be discarded as I clean up overgrown flower beds. Bromiliads I'm bringing 5 different types of bromiliads. Two of them appear to be varieties of Billbergia nutans (one with spots on the leaves and one without)- QueenÂs Tears, Friendship Plant, Hardy Queen's Tears, Hardy Friendship Plant. I found this bromeliad at DaveÂs Garden at: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/2116/ . A third one is varigated and may be the one pictured on the following page: http://www.rainforestflora.com/bromcare.htm The other two I believe are fairly common, Matchstick Plant , and one with dark green leaves and a large red ball of flowers. Iris I've pulled up a number of walking iris, white with purple. I believe they're called Apostle Plant. I've also got a couple of yellow ones. Salvias I dug up two each of the following salvias. I'm not sure how they'll look tomorrow as I usually cut off most of the plant when transplanting them. I've left most of the plant so you can see what the plant looks like including the blooms. Black and Blue Salvia - Salvia guarantica Belize Sage - Salvia miniata Tropical Sage - Salvia coccinea (red and Pink varieties) Indian Curry tree Coral Bean Tree (also have seeds) Red Chinese Hat Heliconia - Red with yellow flowers Red Canna - one plant, plenty of seeds 4 O'Clock seeds (pink) yellow flowerng plant available upon request. one blue Plumbago 2 Ruttya fruticosa - Hummingbird Plant or Rabbit Ears cuttings of 2 varieties of purple firespike That's if they'll all fit in my car. I've update my wish list: Amaryllis bulbs - all we have is red ones Bromiliads Orchids Heliconias Begonias: wax and angle wing Peppers - My wife and son are on a big pepper kick so I could use some of them. All I have is a serano. Ocra - My wife is also on a pickling kick and loves Ocra. Almost any flowering plant, especially if it flowers in the winter Steve Here is a link that might be useful: Billbergia nutans...See Morehave: want list for mag spring swap may 6 in burtonsville md

Comments (74)Trades are getting slimmer. I've been weeding out the plants I don't want over the past few years and haven't got enough of the plants I like to be able to divide much. Hope that changes in a year or two! I can bring: My seed stash 1 black walnut seedling Daylilies (unknown type but definitely not ditch lilies) Mums (yellow) Black eyed susans Grape hyacinth bulbs Lycoris bulbs Small flowered coreopsis seedlings Russian sage cuttings (roots easily in water during the spring) Star of Bethlehem bulbs (can be VERY invasive and is very poisonous to dogs and cats but perhaps in a pot it wouldn't be too bad) Hyacinthoides (wood hyacinth)-white I may not get to dig all of these (time is getting short), so let me know if you want something and I'll make sure I bring it.

Comments (16)I have: Homemade self-watering containers made out of pickle/egg buckets. Probably some 4 gallon + 2 reservoir and 2 gallon + 2 reservoir. A couple of each size. Leftover pieces - most of a "container watering" or small garden set, plus some drip hose, plus a few adjustable low flow sprinkler heads. It doesn't work for gravity-fed container gardening, unless you add on a timer. Fine pine bark mulch - about 1/4" x 1/2" x 1" pieces. I have a 2 cu ft plus an open 2 cu ft bag - probably about 1 cu ft left. They were $3.99 each Fedco seeds - split seed packets that I ordered. 2008 seeds. swallow eggplant - small trade 10 or 20 seeds? 3666SW Swallow Eggplant (51 days) F-1 hybrid. DonÂt believe you can grow eggplant in this cold part of the world? Swallow could make you a believer because it is early, producing glossy purple-black tender fruit of the elongated (1-3/4x7") oriental type without the bitterness often associated with larger eggplants. No wonder it was our most popular eggplant with sales of nearly 1,200 packets last year. mache - trade hundreds or even thousands? 3102VC Verte de Cambrai Mâche (45 days) A small-seeded small-leaved strain which performs especially well in cool or cold conditions and is the best kind for over-wintering. May be the same variety Thomas Jefferson grew in 1810 under the name Candia. thai basil .5 g =.018g = 324 trade maybe 50-100 in a batch? 4470TB Thai Basil This basil lends the distinctly strong licorice-anise flavor to Thai food. An attractive 12-18" fine-leaved plant with purple stems, seed heads and flowers. Good container plant as well. 60 days to harvest. I have some sugar snap peas (maybe trade 20-50? I have ~100)and bought some nitrogen activator, but can't find the activator. Ferry Morse $.99 basic packets for 2008 of: grand rapids tipburn resistant lettuce (800 mg) , bloomsdale long standing spinach (2.0 g) cauliflower Early snowball A (245mg) radish sparkler (1.50 g) Broccoli De Cicco (800mg)...See Moresaldut

14 years agoStonecrabber, do you have any bambusa that hasn't already been spoken for? I'd love to have some.
Olyagrove, I'll be bringing some forsythia salvia as well as beach sunflowers.
Kay, how much liriope do you want? We have a bunch that's in need of a new home. I'd love to have one of you purple firespikes.
Keiki, if you still have any variegated crinums unspoken for I'd love to have one.
If I don't have any plants that your interested in I do make glass garden totems. Just let me know what size and color totem you'd prefer. Here's an example.

14 years agoStonecrabber, thank you. Will have the iris for you
Ok, I walked around the garden to see what else I have.
I have a lot of pink Four O'Clock, both seedlings and tubers.
http://www.floridata.com/ref/M/mira_jal.cfm
Plant it as your own risk, as it responds a bit too well to love and care. I have one that never thrived in sandy soil. The one I put in the rose garden had to be moved, as the plant was getting bigger than roses. If you have a good spot where it is not going to compete with other plants, it is a very neat plant - lots of cute pink very fragrant blooms in the afternoon and evening.I have one plant of Scutellaria (dark blue). I already have it potted up and ready to go. Adorable little plant, the mother plant originally from Lowes/HomeDepot. Grows very well in partial shade (although full sun is recommended, I had to move it to a more sheltered location)
Another interesting plant: Aster carolinianus
From Backyard Fall 2007
Not for every garden. It is a bog plant and likes moist soil. It only blooms once a year, but when it does, it puts up an unbelievable show - bees and butterflies are all over it. I love it (and have plenty of seedlings as it reseeds rather well)
More info:And I have this beautiful orange blooming bush, and I just cant remember its name, and do not have any pictures of the blooms. I will keep looking

14 years agoKeiki, most of my antique roses are big roses. I did start Mutabilis and Louis Philippe (OR, Cramoisi Superieur).
If anyone is interested, I have Old Blush (gets big, but such a care free rose) and just remembered, a smaller one, Natchitoches Noisette.
I also have a cute small rose that I personally like, but it is not the most impressive rose. I think the closest ID to it is Martha's vineyard rose
http://www.aquamarinestardust.net/images/photos/Martha%27s%20Vineyard.jpg
The flowers are small and not fragrant, but I love the show it puts up during blooming.Here is the picture of mine
From Roses Spring 2009
All the roses I mentioned root well for me.
I also have seedlings sweet peppers - and can bring a few with me - by the time of the swap, they will get much bigger (sprouted about a week ago, a whole bunch)

From Backyard Spring 2008

14 years agoI have recently set up a display on my deck using a bunch of antique crocks and pottery that have been in my family for generations. My plan is to fill the larger ones with water, put in a few mosquito fish and add some pond/water plants. To anyone coming to the Swap with these type of plants to share, I would like some to use here.
Here's a photo:

14 years agoOlya, I'd love to have somenative yellow canna!
Keiki, I don't mind at all. That ceramic hose guide was an old lamp I found in a junk shop and that was the only time I found one that I could afford to turn into a hose guide. Would tou be interested in a stone one?
