Horse Dookey right here! I need some to start alot of compost piles. Also I'd like to do some sheet composting too. Ask her if she'd like anything from my list!

I could probably use a small bag to put in my composter to help jump start it.

Shirley, if you still have one of the BOSTON FERN's left I would like to trade with you for it.

Okay, you three.... I've emailed to let her know that you DO want the DOO. I need to get her set up on GardenWeb to see what you're offering in return then you guys can work it all out. She's at a new job so give us some time to get back to you.

thanks,
patty

Roselee - I do have a Boston Fern for you.

If anyone else wants one let me know and I'll just divide them off the main plant. It's easier for me to manage over the winter and better for the plant.

--Shirley

How well would it handle outside in the winter or is it one I would have to put in the cold frame?

Well, I just got back from Rockport today, I was gone for 3 weeks. When I got there, I started cuttings, from my bleeding heart, and from a few other plants. I will check next week to see if I have had any luck. They still look green so I hope they took. I will bring them to the swap.

Honeybunny2, I'm interested in your giant red leaf crinum. Please check out my list, let me know if anything I can trade you. Thank you.

Tia

Tia, I would be interested in the variegated elephant ears, and the dutchman pipe if it is the giant one, I already have the small one. Barbra

Barbra, the ee is yours. I'm not sure if the Dutchman pipe is the giant one but the flower is 8 inches long. I'm trying to root it on cuttings but not sure if it's working. If you can do it I'm happy to bring you a bunch of cuttings.

Tia

Tia, that is the big one, that I am looking for. Please bring me one. If you want the small one I can bring you one the small one has a green and white leaf, with a small green pipe on the vine. I bought it from Schumachers in New Braunfels Tx. I am not good at rooting stuff, I am learning myself. I will check next week to see how well I did. I put my cutting right in the ground next to the mother plant. Barbra

Barbra, I bought mine last year at Nelson water garden in Katy. We had an unusual cold winter last year in Houston and it died to the ground but came back strongly. Although I saw only 4 flowers so far, they were beautiful. On my have list I only offer cuttings as I don't have any extra plants (yet). I'm trying to root them. I placed each cutting in the wet foam and bury them in a pot filled with perlite. It's been 10 days and I haven't seen any new growth yet but the cuttings are still very green and fresh. There is hope :).

Tia

White passion vine for Marcie. check

Kathy

Tia, I understand you posted just a cutting, I know that it will be a shot in the dark, but I am willing to take it. I have only cuttings of the bleeding hearts, and I will not know for sure until next weekend if they took, but I posted them anyway. I also have datura double yellow and double purple and white to offer, I unloaded them and forgot to put on my list. Tia would you like one of each. They love either full sun or partial sun. I will also try and bring a blood banana, I saw a pup come up this last week, and will try and dig it up next weekend, it was too wet to do anything last week, with all the flooding. Prince Albert, I am brining you a ROOTED double brugmanansia. I hope you like yellow its " Angels Swingtime"
Marcie if the bleeding heart cuttings take, I will put you down for one. They still were green when I left, I put them in the ground 3 weeks ago. Barbra

Gee, I don't know what happened, I posted a diffrent message, so here goes again.

Kathy did you save a white passion vine for me? You did not post when I asked for one?

Marcie, I will hold the cutting of the yellow plumeria for you, I just took the cutting yesterday.

Barbra, I LOVE datura and brugs and yes I would like to have them. Thank you.

Marcie, I'll bring you EE, cutting of Dutchman's pipe, red passion vine.

Tia

Barb, I have you down for the white passion vine.

Tonya, If you still have Blue Chiquita Salvia, I would love some.

I going to take a guess here that Ragna/Roseless will want that one too.

Roseless? How did I post that? Certainly not "Roseless" by any means.

Tia, do you have any more of the red passion vine? If so I would like one. I was not going to bring any brugmansia, except one for Prince Albert, it was left over from my spring cuttings that I won on Ebay. I should have doubles next year, I lost all my doubles, from the Dec freeze, and had to start over this spring with cuttings. I can take a cutting from Xena, when we go down this weekend, and I can show you how to root it at the swap. If you want rooted plants, Tonya is getting rid of her peach and yellow brugmansia at the swap. Barbra

Shirley, 'Roseless' made me laugh so much I almost choked on my salad. Especially since I've ordered four more roses that will be coming in next week!

And you're right about "Blue Chiquita" !!!! I didn't even know what that was. So Tonya I'd love to have a rooted plant if you have one, and some cuttings that I could try to root as well. Is it a fall bloomer, or does it bloom earlier in the summer also?

Also would like to ask you to dig some Lyrata "purple knockout". What else can I bring for you?

Thank you!

Tonya, if you have extra purple knockout, could you bring some for me? I love anything purple. I will go to Lowes on tuesday, to see if they have anything marked down that I can bring to the swap. Sometimes they have such great deals. I have not been there in such a long time, they probably think I died. Barbra

Barbra, I will bring you red passion vine cuttings. I might be able to give you the rooted cuttings, i'll wait to see if they take.

Edible bog plants, water plants, anyone?!? I'm not taking them back home again. :)

Tia

I finally had time to read the above threads, and just wanted to tell Renatelynne, that I know exactly how she feels. I had a total knee replacement on 6-1-09, I had totally lost my interest in plants. They were dying because I could not water, in those hot 100 degree days, and I did not even care. I just wanted you to know that when you start to feel better, your green thumb returns. Maybe you do not feel like planting stuff right now, but we have another swap in April, and by then you should feel much better. I can't wait to meet you on Oct 9th, and see everyone else. Barbra

Hello again everybody!
Shirley and Ragna, yes "Chiquita" is blooming right now. I will see what rooted plants I still have and bring either a rooted plant or cutting of her to each of you. If the cuttings don't take I can give you as many baby plants as you want in the spring. She is VERY productive, kind of like "Lady in Red"! I was pulling up babies for a couple of weeks!

Ragna and Barbra, gotcha down for some purple knockout.

For those of you that asked for Walker's Low. I thought the large mass I had was coming up from roots, but appears to be just long "branches" so I have quite a few cuttings in water trying to root those before the swap. I will bring those, hopefully with some roots already on them! If they have enough roots to pot up by then, I will try to put them in pots.

Love this cooler weather BTW!

Tonya

Have: Red Flowering Yucca, which is actually an Agave according to the online info. Grows fast, flowers every spring, common in commercial landscapes.

Thanks Tonya. The S. Chiquita is blooming beautifully at ARE right now.

I will be putting up my list of haves next tuesday 5 Oct.
I know that is short fused but maybe somebody may want some of them. The reason for the short fuse is I will be out of town.

honeybunny, I am honored with the Brug.

Everyone feel free to look at my photobucket a lot of the items I'm bringing are there.

Albert~ I would love a cutting of a white brug and another of the pink.

I don't have much to trade this time. But the dark blue agapanthus is very pretty. If you want a start of that let me know.

Kathy aka plantmaven

Kathy, I would love to have one of the dark blue agapanthus. I have a large root beer plant, tall pink mexican petunias, pink coneflowers, up for grabs. Barbra

Sure Barb. But I don't want anything.

Princealbert, Can I have some cuttings of the big white brug that you took picture with? Let me know what I can get for you in return. Thank you very much.

Tia

Tia (waterjasmin),
you certainly may. I will cut them the night before. I'll also look and see if I have any rooted cuttings.

Kathy aka plantmaven,
I'll bring a bucket of the white ones and a couple of pinks too. I may even cut a couple of stray branches off the varigated one.
It'a almost time to cut the white one back to put up the temp greenhouse. It has not had but 1 flush this year. I believe because of the hot wx.
pa

Patty, I'd like to have your crinums and cannas, if they are still available. I will bring you some crafts that I made. Thank you.

Patty said: "Plants under the tables are not for swapping. This is where we place the plants we're taking home." But there is no rule about secretly putting plants under ppl's table hahaha. Just a thought. I'm suppose to go home with less than what I brought.

Tia

Does anyone want RED CANNAS. I can dig a few. They are about 4 ft all and their flowers are smallish, but bright red and if watered and fertilized each plant will have 5 to 6 blooms stalks one after the other. They are my favorites.

Barbra, I'd like to "grab" some PINK CONEFLOWERS!

PA, your pictures are wonderful! You'll have lots of visitors to your table :-)

Looking forward to seeing all of you!

Here are my promised items. If I forgot anyone, please let me know.

Barbra, if you have any pink coneflowers left, would love one!

Prince Albert, what is that frilly peach hibiscus in your photobucket that has a dark center and a frilly stamen? Would love a cutting of that, if possible. Is there anything on my list that interests you?

I hope to add a couple of things to my list when I have a chance to see what I have out there!

Tonya

I have lots of seeds on the MALABAR SPINACH and PENTAPETE (which is still putting on a nice show) but I don't know if they will be ripe by trade time.

So if you want seeds to these bring a self addressed envelope and I'll mail them to you.

Roselee, and Tonya, I have both of you down for pink coneflower. I also have to offer blue plumbego, one or two variegated ginger, and yellow butterfly weed. I can also bring cuttings from my Flores Street Eater Rose, I grew from stolen cuttings from the actual plant on Flores Street. This is suppost to be the first rose in the state of Texas. It is cream color, and has beautiful blooms, easy to root. I got the cuttings for a lady that lives in Dallas, I had to mail her the cuttings, but my husband stuck some in a pot on the back porch and they took. I will also bring some plants I bought from Schumachers many years ago, and forgot to write down the names of( I am sure Patty will be able to tell me when I get there. Barbra

Roselee, I would like a chocolate plant and also fruit cocktail shrimp plant, if they are still available.

Meredith you put down that you wanted anything that grows in the shade. I have a large Rootbeer plant, that is beautiful, and loves the shade. It grows large, has the tropical look, and when in bloom, smells just like rootbeer, would you want me to add that to your list? Barbra

Barb, I was thinking that Flores St. rose just recently.

Kathy do you remember how I almost got arrested, getting those cuttings for that gal in Dallas? I still can't belive I did that. The thread asked for anyone in San Antonio area, begging them to take cutting from the rose, because it was going to be destroyed, by construction the next week. I went down after work, started cutting from the sidewalk. The owner came out and asked me what I was doing?I think I almost fainted. The lady from Dallas drove down, but had an emergency. She had to leave before I got off work, so she never got all those cuttings. I never wanted the Rose, I was just trying to help. That was the day I became a Rose Rustler.
The owner of the Rose Emporium, worked where I did, and he really wanted that rose, but I never got back with him. Barbra

nbtonya,
Yes it is if you are talking about the poodle tail one.
I got it at walmart, and saw them at Lowes too.
I will whack off a cutting the day before the meet and mark it for you.

honeybunny,
So you are another one of those plant rescuers.
I carry clippers and an army shovel around in case I run across something that needs rescueing. LOL
I may call you tomorrow evening, but don't be upset if I don't I may be too tired. There is lots of grass to mow down there in ap.
pa

Barb, I do remember that. But I did not realize you were the one involved. That's ok, you are not the first criminal I have known.
Diane got arrested once for using a curse word in public.

Long BS story. LOL!

Gosh Kathy, Maybe its not such a good idea to bring Gary. He could end up in prison. He just walked out in a suit, and told me to watch the news at noon, he would probaly be on. I never knew there was a law against cursing in public! No, its something to do with the SA Airport security, and SAC. Barbra
