I have a red and a 'regular' pink one, but not a light pink, if you have one for me that would be great :-)

Thanks,

Evelyn

Sure Evelyn....got your name on a few... :-)

Evelyn,
I know I said that I want to bring nothing back with me, that bloom of Selenicereus Grandiflorus knocked my socks off. If you still have a cutting I'd love one.
Thanks,
Nancy

you get from Evelyn ?

I am not ready to plant my pathways yet....still redoing
my beds....after rasing the grade (>_I would like to know how well this does for you in zone 10

I got the p peanut in a pathway taking full sun. Great stuff :)
Thanks, D`Ann

I will definitely keep you posted... It's so pretty ....I hope it makesit :-)

Evelyn :-)

Evelyn,
I would love to have some of your coral porter weed.

Last September our coconut palm got struck by lighting and killed both the tree and my coral porter weed that was right next to it .

In fact, I took pictures of the damage..... it was real scary.... It was about 30 foot from the house !

Do you have any bromeliad ? I had to move mine after the storms and some of them are starting to bloom again. I didn`t want to give them away till I knew what they were...... I have taken some cutting of crotons and they are rooted. I will bring them so you can look at them.

D`Ann

Evelyn, I would love some candy corn and Acetosella rounded foliage. (I have the maple leaf.)
I have alot of broms. What kind are you looking for? Neos, guz? billi?
I'll see if I can get a small piece off my lifesaver for you.

D'Ann, is your hubby interested in English roses, this David Austin rose is gorgeous but I don't have room for it. I'd have to cut it back to get it in the car but it grows quickly. Do you or does anyone else want it? For this swap this rose is appropriately named. 'The Generous Gardener.'

D'Ann, your name is on the coral porterweed. I just have a few broms and a few crotons, so whatever you want to share is great.
Coffeemom, I have you on my list for African Blue Basil, Candy Corn and the Acetosella round leaf. and same as above, I will be happy with whatever you want to share with me :-)

Kathy, I have you on my list for nasturdium, a cardinal climber, ampelaster, cuphea starfire, passi amethyst, pink salvia. the coral porterweed I can bring you cuttings.

Evelyn

Nancy :) Thanks :)
I just asked my husband last night where would he like to see roses in the yard and he wants them across the front of the porch .( In front of the house )

We have gone to a few of the rose society meetings at mounts, but he gets up at 4 am , works hard, and is over 50 . So we don`t go regularly LOL !

I just planted my coleus, I will start one of each for you to pick from.

D`Ann

It's yours then D'Ann. Please let me know when you are going to the rose society meeting. I will meet you there. I went once and enjoyed it but it would be nice to know someone there.
Nancy

Sounds good :)

Does anyone have any brug, Frosty Pink cuttings? I cleared a spot. I've never had good luck but maybe in this spot.
Thanks,
Nancy

I have a pink brug. I couldn't swear if it was frosty or insignia(?) I can bring you a generous cutting or try to cut the 1 I have down to transport size. I'm like you, I'm running out of room and somethings have got to go.
Think as big as the dewdrop.
How far back can I cut it without killing it?

Evelyn, broms it is.

Evie, have any more of the Coral Porterweed? It would look yummy mixed in with my purple. I put another brom pup in with the dark red one for you...mama prob came from Kristi along with the red one and no name! lol

Teka, when I first saw that rose I thought it was a Peony. It's luscious!

Cindee, no more rooted cuttings of the coral porterweed, but if you like I bring you some cuttings, they should root pretty easy.

Evelyn

Oh no! I can't come to the swap!

I'll be so sorry to miss you all. I'm sending big mental hugs but wish I could deliver them in person.

I owe some of you plants and will be happy to mail them. When the swap is over if there's something you haven't gotten that you think I might have, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Ricky, I hate to miss the party!
Katkin, I'm sending your rose along with Evelyn.
Kat, we need to talk so you can remind me what all you wanted from the garden tour here! If I can't get it to Evie before she leaves, I'll bring it down later this summer. I'm sure I'll be making the trip within a couple months.
Don't remember who else I promised plants to but I'll be happy to mail them if you send me a reminder!

Kate (waving sadly as the camera as the picture fades to black)

Oh Kate, I am broken hearted! Send me your snail mail addy so I can send the Plumie cuttings (rooting) for you and your friend. I am so very sad!!!

Evelyn,
I just notice that one on my bromeliads is blooming.
Google Portia Petropolitana extensa,. It has a long lasting bloom that looks like grapes on
the ends. Would you like it ?

Katkins , remember I gave you a brom thinking it was a del mar ?
I made a mistake, I gave you this instead. That is why I am holding off on
sharing them . I want to make sure I know what they are. I am also going to start writing things down.

I also have another one that I thought it was an Aec. fendeleri, but the bloom is different that the ones I looked up . I will take a picture.

I would offer them to Ricky, but they aren`t his colors LOL !

Steve and I had a very productive day in the yard :) We had fun :)

D`Ann

Oh sorry you can't make it Kate. You'll be missed for sure.

D'Ann=any sun loving broms would love to come home with me...what can I give you??

D'Ann, if Portia Petropolitana extensa is one of the huge ones, I have it already (Kathy gave me a pup)and someone else may want to trade you for it :-)

Evelyn

Evelyn....... That is why i like to ask first :)

I put your name down for other broms ...gotta
let them bloom first.

Cindeea, do you have this one ??

D`Ann

I'm sorry to say I can't make it either!
I was looking so forward to meeting everyone and seeing Ricky's garden!

Katkin, I have tried 3 times to get this Jasmine to grow and it keeps dying on me.
Treefrog, I'll send your cutting down with MsMarion.
I don't think there was anyone else I was going to bring cuttings too but if there is let me know!

Thanks Ricky!!

anyone here have pepper corn seeds or cuttings?
and.. would anyone like my 2 loanly red ponytail palm seeds, or some coleus seeds?

Thanks Kristi for the frosty pink. Thanks Evelyn for the lovely Selenicereus Grandiflorus.
Nancy

Evelyn, the bromeliad from D'Ann is NOT the one I gave you. Her's is a diffent one. So go for it. :o) I didn't have pups from her's yet.

ok, D'Ann, did you read this? I guess I need a pup of the Portia Petropolitana extensa afterall ;-)

thanks so much

Evelyn
Thanks Kathy for watching out for me :-)

Hello ..........

Okay Evelyn its yours :) Hope you enjoy it !

Kathy , I am glad I gave you something that you didn`t already have.

When I tell ya all that we have a major yard re do...we were not lying.
After Wilma, we have raised the grade of our lot from anywhere 6 " to 35"
EVERYTHING went into pots, we spread the dirt, then replant.
And we are still at it. Ask Lisa......... she's seen the mess. LOL !

Unfortunately some plants like the bromeliads , I can not identify by just looking at the leaves
so I don`t know what the hell they are :)

But they are starting to bloom , and I am starting to put thing back in the ground.

Kathy, can you take pictures of yours the next time it bloom ?
I am wondering how yours differ that mine.

Is yours starting to bloom now ?
D`Ann

No, mine is not blooming now. It has 2 foot long strappy leaves, takes full sun and has little blue ball-like flowers like porta. Yours has shorter fatter leaves and if I remember correctly looks more like the del mar.

D'Ann and Evelyn, I just did a search and my bromliad is the portea petropolitana, but that is not the bromeliad that you gave me D'Ann, unless I got yours mixed up with another one in my garden.

Katkin, don't know from personal experience lol, but the guy I bought my broms from said that the leave shape can change according to how much sun. In his garden he showed me how a plant that didn't get alot of sun had much longer and strappier leaves, while the same kind in full sun was much shorter.

Kathy,
This is that "bad" thing about being given plants, sometimes we get the wrong info LOL !

I was given this bromeliad years ago. I was told it was " portea.

Working at a flower shop I made the association of the flower "protea" and
because the flower spike has purple balls on the ends, and looks like grapes
I always refer to it as the grape brom. I will be taking pictures.

Anyway , I am glad you like yours. Evelyn will have one .
And so will cindea ...but I haven`t heard from her. I will bring it anyways.

See you all soon :)

D`Ann

Someone I work with, who also gardens,wants to know if anyone wants a baby screw pine. Be sure and read this first if you think it's something you might want. For some reason she loves hers.

cindea..

You got mail :)

Does anybody want lancepod or royal poinciana tree seeds?

Cachucha pepper seedlings? 4 to a pot, a few pots to spare.
Siam Ruby bananas? a few left.

treefrog,
I would love some cachucha peppers, sounds like they would be great with my jerk chicken!

What can I give you? I have russian sage, amaryllis papillio, tons of plain old basil, some kind of lavendar pentas, some kind of purple mums....and I am bringing an interesting houseplant for anyone who wants some.

Michelle

Correction. It is lavender aster, NOT pentas. I can divide them for anyone who wants them. They are really quite pretty.

Michelle

Michelle - You cook jerk style? Bring a sample of your dry rub and we'll swap recipes. I took third place last year in the Jerk Festival Contest at Markham Park.

treefrog,
Will you save a Siam Ruby for me please. I actually paid for one a while ago but I never had time to pick it up.
Pamela

Cindea , you must of not gotten my email.

I have two pups left.

Aechmea fendleri.
Portea ( my grape brom ) that might be missed labled.

You have first pick and then the other will go to Cherie.

Let me know.

D`Ann

Michelle,
The cacuchas have just sprouted, so they're tiny, but will do well! They are wonderfully flavored mild chiles, very productive.
I did find out that if you want to keep them growing year after year you must plant fresh seeds. They don't stay viable for long.
Maybe I would grow a Russian sage if you have a little one.

Pamela, one Siam Ruby for you. I see you were on the list, but didn't know you had already paid Lisa for it, and hadn't heard from you. See you Sunday.

treefrog_fl- did you ever get my email?

-sb

Yes, SB, I just mailed back. They all have your name on them.

Thanks i hope that doesnt make me a plant piggy?!!
*snorts*

btw didnt get the email yet. :)

I'll take a few of the lavender asters. Thanks Would you like a red stemmed EE?
