"I thought since I was the June birthday I would mention some plants I would like to have.

Seeds:

Sunflowers: Lemon Aura, Teddy Bear

Castor beans: any color

Plants

Black bamboo

Bowles golden grass

Variegated dwarf bamboo

Lirope Pee Dee Gold Ingst

Hellebores

Heuhera Coral Bells: Stoplight

Brunnera Looking Glass and Jack Frost. hadspen cream

Phlox: Nicky

Sedum: Bon Bon, Samuel Oliphant, Black Jack

Yucca: Color guard

Shasta dasiy Yellow

Echinacea Sunrise, orange, rassmatazz

Herbs: Really want Lemon verbena, black and blue sage, spilanthes, blood veined sorrel, stevia

I live on 10 acres and have lots of room for plants. I have landscaped 3 acres so far.

I don't mean to come across demanding as I'm not I just have a lot of plants and if possible would like to try something new.

I also like dahilas and cannas. I tried them for the first time last year and really enjoyed the results.

I enjoy home made soaps and bath salts.

I collect Siberain husky stuff. I laid mine to rest this past Jan. after 14 years of friendship. Miss him so!

Oh almost forgot I am also looking for sum and substance hosta. I have several but for some reason that one happens to be the deer's favorite! I will put it in a fenced area next time!

I enjoy doing scrapbooks so any supplies would be a welcomed site.

I also like terra cotta plant markers.

Anything Nascar with #12! Big Ryan fan!!!

Anything related to herbs~

I also welcome any books on herbs or gardening in general and used is good."

I received a VERY WONDERFUL package from Bonnie today. She sent a beautiful flower candle in a pretty green dish, It looks like a flower inside the leaves of a plant. Then a pretty sunflower pot with white Acidanthera and red and purple gladiolus bulbs inside. Also a cute garden rock that says welcome. There was also a little birthday bag with seeds for Asters and red Astilbe and several bags of tea. Also a darling little pin that says Sprout. Then, a little note on the back of an oriental envelope wishing me a happy birthday, inside the envelope two beautiful book marks. The note said to keep on and give one away. I have a friend whose mother came from Japan and I know she would love one of these, so with your permission Bonnie, I am going to share with her. I love your package. Thank you so much for your wonderful and thoughtful gifts. Just a thought on rearranging the birthday schedule. Moving people up sounds fine (after all, I did it) but we do have a December month person and it might be good to check with her before we change Dec since she would have to be a lot earlier. Diene, what do you think? I will go along with whatever everyone decides, whatever we decide. Diene, I was just teasing about the bag of dirt. I did open it after I posted. Thank you so much for the plant. Can hardly wait to see it in bloom!

Hello All; I received two packages yesterday but did not get the chance to play with either until today. Jan sent a bunch of gladiola bulbs in really exotic colors. I love glads but did not used to plant them because they are not hardy here and need to be dug up in the fall which I do, but they never survive the winter. I know that is my fault but it is still frustrating. But I digress, my new beau loves gladioulas and has been bugging me to plant them. What I want to know is did he contact you Jan? Well they went in the ground today and I can't wait for them to bloom. Then there was the gel notebook, really neat and unusual and also a wonderful windchime. I am embarassed to say that I believe there were more things in both of these packages but I opened them late last night and put the food stuff away and can't remember all that was in them. I think there was some chocolate and coffee things but my mind is like scrambled eggs today. Ellie sent some neat plants, gardening gloves and once again, who knows what else. I planted everything today and I am very excited about the obedient plant. I do not have one and thought I should so it was a great addition to my gardens. Then the Artemisia (which I cannot even pronounce) is going to be wonderful when I put my flowers together in vases this year. Both sent wonderful notes which is the greatest part of this and I wish we were all closer so we could get together. For those of you who have not yet had their "birthday month", it is a great thing. The boxes come when they feel like it and they have all kinds of things from all over the country. It is funny how excited I get about these thoughtful gifts. Thank you all for the wonderful month. I wish I was a May person to have this happen every year. I sent Jan's info to everyone, if there is anyone who did not get it, let me know. I hope you have half as much fun as I did Jan, and thank you for your gifts. Likewise Ellie, I appreciate you sharing your plants and I really needed more gloves (the color is the latest fashion, isn't it? ) Thanks to all. diene

Hello friends, FINALLY home from gallavanting around the country. This last trip was to take our son and his girlfriend back to MN. They had been here visiting for a week. We then stayed an extra 3 days to do some more sightseeing. DS also took along his cat, Precious, so we now have 1 cat and 1 dog. Sniff, sniff. Vee, Happy to hear you liked your gifts. The wolf on the stone came from our visit to Kansas City sometime in the spring. Was hoping you might like it. The alstromeria was looking a little tough, I know, but it came all the way from Texas in the car with us. It came from the Wildseed Farm down there just west of Austin near Fredricksburg. Think it will make it? It looked a LOT better earlier. LOL The "can can" heuchera is from Iowa. Nothing special about it. Stephanie, is the guy in the photo available? Earthly is looking! I have no idea if we got any rain while we have been gone, but last night and today we have been having some nice showers on and off. We have really been needing them! Tomorrow I'm going to go to a friend's house in Gifford--little unincorporated burgh of maybe??? 100 people maybe less--and help her in her flower gardens, etc. Every year this little burgh has a huge 4th of July parade. It's known all over the county. I'm guessing they easily have 75+ entries in the parade yearly. Anyway, she always wants her yard to look spotless. The whole little "town" spiffs up for the event. At least the rain will make pulling any weeds easier. Deb, I am so sorry to hear of your Grandmother's passing. It is so sad to lose a Grandma. Have already said prayers for you. Am enjoying the pictures. I have a number of Asiatic lilies blooming right now along with other perennials. I need to try to post them. Maybe DH can help me figure out how to do it. I still have directions on how to do it. Just can't quite figure it out, though. I'm NOT giving up! Alicia--I was just in Austin about a week-and-a-half ago. WOW, is it hot!!! DH and I were there for a long week-end visiting my sister. Never got below 100! She tells us they/you didn't really have a winter this year either. No freezes? When you move you are in for a CHANGE! Where did you live before TX? What are the trees/bushes that are in bloom right now down there? They are a deep red or pink then the flowers fall off and there are berries. Aaaaaagh....My mind.....They are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!! As you can see, my mind is gone. Later everyone, Mellen

Birthday month Exchange for August-Marie-WYNative

Comments (32)
Diene and all... I agree. I'd like to see this exchange all the way to the end. You all were so generous and kind to send such thoughtful birthday surprises, and I certainly expect to make sure I send to the others waiting their turns. I'd like to if possible still have a holiday swap around either Thanksgiving or Christmas as we had originally planned. We could put the names together of those who wish to do this and have stuck this exchange out, and pick them from a hat or something easy. I'd suggest sending an ornament , either homemade or store bought and perhaps one other small holiday related item. That way costs will be down and we can find a nice closure to this exchange . Anybody else.....or does this not sound like something we want to do? Either way....I do intend to send birthday gifts to those still on our list. Have a happy week.... Bonnie

Wow, June went by sooo fast, I can't believe July is just around the corner!
I really enjoyed Jan's early birthday intro, and was able to prepare the box a little better just because of it. So, I'm going to do the same! My real birthday is December 17. Getting to celebrate my birthday during the summer for the first time is a real treat! I would never be able to receive any plants in December!

I'm still working on my moon garden, and would appreciate anything that I could add to it (plants, seeds, small statues, etc).

I also adore sunflowers, glass suncatchers, homemade soaps. Anything with a sunflower motiff is perfect. Candles (any scent), things for the garden, garden related items. I collect birdhouse items (any) especially crafted items by Marjolein Bastin (Hallmark).
I love feeding the birds, and basically just love anything that has to do with nature!

I also collect african violets, hoyas- (would love a piece of a 'crinkle' hoya, rope hoya (regular or variegated, or any unusual hoya, I already have Publicalyx, Silver pink, Phillipine black.
I would love a few indoor ferns (don't have any), regular, rabbit's foot fern, or a division of an outdoor fern, that can tolerate cold temperatures.
More indoor plants that I'm looking for are- a chunk of monstera, variegated monstera cutting/small plant. Variegated plants are my favorite, and am always wanting to try something new!
I also appreciate vegetable/herb seeds. I have a huge garden that I'm constantly still trying to complete! Herbs grow really fast anyways! ;) I love Heirloom seeds too.

I'm sooo excited to be the July birthday person!
I'll be happy with ANYTHING, I love hand crafted items too! I make crafts occasionally, and know how much work goes into making something!

Jan,
I'm so sorry! I'm so late! I'll be shipping your box out tomorrow! How was the race? I've never been to the track in MI. I've been to Chicago, Talledega, Dover, Daytona and Darlington. My BF is a big Mark Martin fan.

Hope you've had a great month - it's not over yet!

Ellie
