I have fresh seed from my h. albiflos available and would like to get more seeds or plants of other haemanthus. If you're offering plants to swap, I can trade for either orange or yellow clivia plants. Thanks! --Rr

Hi Teresa and Mike. I'll reserve the Stewartias for you. They are about two feet tall and four years old grown from seed. I love growing trees but actually don't always have space so these two needed homes. I'm looking for fragrant flowering holly- osmanthus(?), tall growing yellow daylilys, orange or yellow azaleas, red hot pokers, any berrying shrubs besides laurel, Japanese forest grass starts, reliable perennials/herbs for sun or shade. Pretty much open to anything.

Thank you all for coming. What a wonderful group we had. The final total was well over 40, more than we ever had before. Thanks to Eva and Micky everyone was able to park. These two gals were my lifesavers. They parked you, told you what to do and let me have the fun stuff to do.I couldn't have managed the crowd without them. Some of you complimented me on being so well organized. Well unfortunately not organized enough. I forgot to put the iced tea and lemonade that someone brought out on the food table and didn't find it in the refrigerator until the next day. Blake ,I think you were the one who brought the lemonade. I wish you had poked me in the ribs and asked me where it was. Next time I will make a list of what everyone brings and will make sure it gets out on the food table.All the food you guys brought was delicious. As you may have noticed there were very few left-overs. Also I was very happy that all of the plants that you guys brought and that I dug from my garden found new homes. Usually many plants are left over but this year we had a lot of "new bees" so all plants found good homes. I got some really great new plants. 2 or 3 trillium,jack in the pulpit ,catnip which my cat loves, some southwood which I had never heard of before, some yellow raspberry plants and a big bag of blue campanula. also I received some pink batchelor buttons which I planted but now can't remember where I put them. Marsha, you will have to find them for me when you return in the fall. I also received several other plants that I know I never had before but I have forgotten who gave them to me and what they were.I'm putting stakes by them and will enlist your help in identifying them in the fall. Another 2 months and we will be planning our fall swap. Until then have a great summer. annie
