2008 Spring MAG Swap: Plants You WANT List

DIRECTIONS for the WANTED list:

If you're new to the swaps, please take the time and have the courtesy to read these posts. They're here to help everyone have a good time.

Yes, you can come if you don't have any plants.

1. Post a list of the plants you want, ideally with Latin names to avoid confusion and cultivar names if they have them, and you know what they are.

2. Read other people's lists. If you see things you want and would like to swap or trade for, e-mail the person to arrange it.

3. Do NOT arrange the swap or trade on this thread.

4. Do NOT post a list of plants that you HAVE for swapping or trading on this list. There is a separate HAVE thread for this purpose.

5. Do NOT discuss who will be bringing what kind of Bavarian apple tart or other food to the swap. There is a separate HAVE thread for food.

6. Do update your member page with your Haves and Wants.

7. Much more info on the Haves list thread.

Wishing everyone a great swap! Happy gardening!

All right, I'll jump in with my wants, although I'm sure most people, like me, don't know their haves yet.

Ostrich ferns
Woodland phlox (Phlox divaricata)
Brunnera of any type
Goldheart bleeding heart
Jack in the pulpit

2-6 inch plastic pots

Hot Peppers- Any kind
Eggplant Plants
Any other Vegetable plants

I'd love some water lilies, not lotus and/or other flowering water plants, pink or yellow shades of hellebores and unusual tropicals. I have no idea what I'll have. Probably some of everything, similar to what I brought to last years swap. It just depends on what I'm heavy on in the greenhouse at that time but I promise to bring more basil this year. lol
Karyn

Any other natives for part sun/full sun
Veggies

I'm sure I'll find plenty of things I can't live without at the swap.

Eric

I'm running out of space but I would love to try to grow gas plant, dictamnus alba or rosea.

There would always be room for another tree peony. If you've seen the Disney version of Wind in the Willows and remember how Toad reacted when he saw the Motor Car, you'll know what I was like when I saw my first tree peony.

I have a yellow deciduous azalea but it's only about 4 inches tall, so a back-up would be nice!

Eric: Can't e you from the GW, but I have bog sage and am happy to share..

The only thing I really want is a couple of 'Eva's Purple Ball' heirloom tomato seedlings. Seeds for them would be OK too. They are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, maybe a few daylilies.

Jan

Hi,

I want/need a male inkberry bush. Also a couple of beech seedlings for bonsai. Thank you so much! Any information on how to find/buy a male inkberry will be truly appreciated.

I'm looking for anything that will grow in FULL shade. Some things I had in mind:
-blue or purple cordyalis
-pink lily of the valley
-goatsbeard
-jack in the pulpit
-lady's slipper
-jacob's ladder
-any hostas other than the traditional green or green/white

My garden is only a couple years old, so I don't have a lot to trade, but I will try to list a few things.

I'm excited to meet everyone!
Darcie

Well, if it grows and isn't finicky or an orange ditch lily, it can probably come home with me. =)

*Clematis - I have NEVER had one of these survive, help! Color doesn't matter, I just want one to GROW!
*Forsythia
*Witch Hazel
*Short nandinas
*Azaleas are always handy (hey, Jen, I'll take a couple of your unknowns)
*Anything full sun that will get to be knee to waist height, especially anything with interesting winter foliage...

*My mom asked me to ask around for some of those half-round hanging/mounting pots, the ones that look like someone sliced a pot in half...she can't find them anywhere!
