Tom, I will bring you aster plants - the mom plant sends out lots of shoots after she is done blooming. And then, when the young pups are done blooming, they too send out pups - so the population grows rather well :) I have QW vine, but unfortunately, this year, due to the nasty weather, it froze to the ground :( It is finally starting to coming back from the roots and has a long way to go. Anna is , I think, a bit more south of us, so her vine did much better through the winter.... Does anyone know the name of this plant? I forgot! And does anyone have it in other colors? I particularly have been looking for blue, not sure if I will ever find it :) From Backyard Summer 2008

Tom...the skyvine and solanum are brown above ground, not sure if they'll come back or not. Just in case though, I took cuttings of the solanum. I use to have Thyrallis, but don't have enough sun for them anymore. I agree with the rest of you, it's just too much work lugging things in and out for every freeze and/or hurricane. I've been taking cuttings from my whitfeldia elongata and brunfelsia lactea as both grow fine in the shade and took the freezes well....so am blanketing the yard in them! Also quite surprised that my new Grand Duke jasmine is as green as the day I got it...must plant more of it, too. If it's still green after 2010 freezes, I'm planting it in mass in 2011, lol. Lori Here is a link that might be useful: my yard, plants and photos...prefreeze, lol

I've made the last two but won't be able to make this one. It's unfortunate too since I may need some of the plants that I gave last year. Steve in Valrico

a friend of mine gave me a bunch of crinum lilies. i took what i wanted and there are still a bunch left. i'm not sure what color they are but they have bloom spikes on them that should open soon OR i'll call my friend and find out what color they are. Lori...did you say you wanted some crinums?
