There are 4 or 5 different rose bushes in the back and about then out front. Because I am still on breathing nebulizer treatments, my brain is fuzzy, so I will try to find names.
I will also post more pictures.

Hey, squirrelly! I will go ahead pot up the guara and salvias for you. I would love to just bring them to you, and meet your garden helpers. Can i just come and see your daylilies when they are peaking. i would really love any of them, they are so beautiful, I do like the darker ones, too. The one plant you can dig up and divide when they are blooming, and they dont suffer. I also have been to a daylily farm in SC around Columbia, went crazy. I have some of mine on my fb page, you might want some. I did not see any red in your colllection, I do have a huge red one with a yellow throat. I'll still take the other plants if you stil have them ready. I have mexican petunia. Ruellia purple showers, we are going to dig them up and keep them in pots, i found out they can be invasive, so I hope I ge it all. My husband will be doing the digging for me, you might want some of it, they are great for the tall plant in big pots. Let me know, Lorinda

esh - the other leaves are False Indigo. About the Baptisia, do think I could propagate it? I've never tried, but I could. Acording to Dave's, "Propagation Methods: From seed; direct sow outdoors in fall From seed; winter sow in vented containers, coldframe or unheated greenhouse From seed; stratify if sowing indoors From seed; germinate in a damp paper towel Scarify seed before sowing" But I don't recall seeing seed pods.... I guess I need to pay closer attention. In the meantime, I could put a stem in water and see what happens.

So sorry to hear your health has deteriorated that much. I know it must be very difficult for you to endure. I wish I lived closer and could help.

I am so sorry to hear this! Jim and I will be up for the plant swap and will come by and dig whatever is left and put in grass for you. We`re coming up on Thursday so I can pick up the grass on Friday, we`ll know how much we need at that point.
I love iris and am putting in more after my recent successes with them.

The first weekend in April I think.
Let me know if I can bring you anything from the island. I`ll call the nursery and find out about pallet costs.

Talley! You are an Angel. Y'all can have anything you want. Many of the iris are cemetery whites from my oldest ancestral grave in Cistern, TX. Others are ones I have bought over the years. I know there are several reblooming, or at least are supposed to be. I will email you my phone #.

K-do you have a number for the nursery? I want to call and make sure they have some grass in stock before we dig up the yard. If not I am off a couple of weeks next month and will come up for a couple of days and get your yard done for you.

Oh, Tally you are so sweet. But I do not want you to do a lot. Just come and see if there are any plants you want. If the plants are out of the we can slowly add pieces of grass our selves.

I can probably swing by after the swap and dig for you. Do you have the grass ready to go? If not, maybe I can come by when Tally is there to help. Please email me: lorelei@gvtc.com
