Hi Heather, I didn't mean to make you feel that I was talking directly to you and making you feel obligated to consider this particular plant. :)After all, you are right, and everyone has different ideas about what is special and you may not think the plectranthus 'mona lavender' is as great as I do.;-) I just reread it and it does sound like I was targeting you, so I hope you don't feel uncomfortable and like you have to find something to trade for the plant. The first part about the russian sage was for you. The next part about the 'special trade' was just thrown out there for anyone who might know the plant and want it as much as I did, or see the plant on the link and then decide that they would like it. I guess I rambled on about it(then and now-ha ha) because I had mixed feelings about letting any part of it go after looking for it for so long, but would if someone let me know that they really wanted it and/or had been looking for it for a while like I had been. I will leave it that if you want the plant, just please forget what I said in the original post and treat it like any other offer, and forgive my ramblings....If you don't want the plant that is okay too. It will still be on my trade list. I must have been too tired to post, and should have been in bed. LOL! gg

As with most of us, this winter has been hard on my garden. Herbs have done well through the cold though. A quick look and I have these to share: Curly parsley Lemon Thyme (pretty variegated) Oregano I also have seeds of basil, burgandy basil and borage. This begonia has done pretty well in the cold without being covered, in fact it is ready to bloom: I believe it's Joe Hayden, I can get maybe three cuttings. I have 60 roses and can post the list if anyone wants one started. I'll keep looking. I am interesting in landscape begonias, Acalypha hispida (chenille plant) and any old roses (cuttings are fine.)

I would like rosemary sage artichoke plant? (I'm envious of my California daughter who has had one going for four years!) native plants for dry and damp shade -- we have ripped out a ton of ivy and have to hold a hill together! I also want a pussy willow cutting or plantlet and any type of heuchera, toad lily, turtlehead, or other native plant that loves shade to dappled shade, lots of clay, and occasional bouts of very damp soil. I need more things to plant along side oak leaf hydrangea/may apple/solomon's seal. Thanks, Lisa This post was edited by shadysite on Sun, May 4, 14 at 9:57
