Ooooo, you have lots of nice things on your list! Trying to ignore the shell ginger, which I LOVE but is a tropical up here: I'm trying to reduce my number of tropicals. I could use some tiger lilies and/or lily of the valley, though: perennials are much easier to over-winter than tropicals in zone 5. ha! This double pink oleander is so pretty. I'll miss it, but since it would have to share indoor space with my chickens, it's better for it and them to find it another home. :-)

I would love to have the Palm tree and Black eyed Susans I have Gaillardia in 3 or4 different colors, sorry but I didn't keep colors seperate, also have Snapdragons also mixed but primary colors are yellow, white and burgandy. Let me know. Judy goldfever68@live.com--e-mail add.

Tell me you're free this Friday evening. I'll let you dig them out. I have many requests for palm seeds so I'll place 10 000 seeds from pruned palms at the Gorge waterway park on both the Saanich and Esquimalt sides as I take a walk to see how the eucalyptus and palms are doing in the area. Palm enthusiasts will just grab the bluish seeds from park benches and tables when they take a Saturday or Sunday walk. I have thousands of seeds to get rid of every year and I know that southwestern British Columbia residents actually purchase these seeds. Let's put waste to use. I sometimes need to clear bracts that total 50 000 seeds from mature Windmill palms in Greater Victoria. I used to hand thousands of seeds to a palm grower who grew pups but he can't handle the volume of seeds.

We need to remove 2 full-grown Washingtonian r. ("Mexican Fan") palm trees from our back yard and would love to donate them to a good home instead of cutting them down! If you are interested, or know of any interested parties, please email me at: bpiscitelli@wilcoxhs.com San Jose, CA
