Tami, it's a deal! I'll take the Caldwell pink rose, the Bluebird lacecap hydrangea and the blue bouquet passiflora.
Thanks so much and I'll see you at the plant swap.

kalanchoes - both red and yellow
chocolate plant
barbados cherry
var. duranta
purple skuttelaria
peacock ginger - 1
air potatoes
var. kalanchoe
I also have 2 jackfruit trees if someone is seriously interested - these are tropical and will need to be overwintered in a greenhouse
if anybody needs cannas I can bring them - they are yellow with orange flecks

I'm looking for a white lycoris - I think its common name is schoolhouse lily, hurricane lily, naked lady

Daisy,
I don't have any of your wants but might have a few Colocasia's Rex Begonia's or Gingers you might be interested in. What Kind of Colocasia's do you have and what kind of Rex Begonia's? And what kind is your Peacock Ginger.

Tami TamiXWP@hotmail.com
I'm interested in your
rex begonia
var. serissa
var. ornamental pepper
colocasia
var. impatiens
rex begonia vine
chocolate plant
var. duranta
peacock ginger - 1

Tami I want an ice cream banana!
I still have to get out & dig up stuff. I think there are pups on the yellow chinese banana, I know the dwarf cavedish has pups if you want either of those.
I'll look at the alocasia/colocasia & see what's there, Lime zinger did NOT come back for me this year. Neither did bat wing.

I have cuttings of a beautiful plumeria, it looks almost like those starlight mints, that a friend gave me if you want one. Otherwise it's slaughter pink or unknowns.

Also I found one orchid vine seedling in the garden if you want it, Bauhinia _________ I have the "real" name somewhere, little pink orchid flowers in clusters. Typical bauhinia leaves, close at night. I'm pretty sure this goes dormant in the winter.

So far I've been digging & will have more by the time of the trade. There are agaves/aloes that have outgrown the deck, water plants, stuff that has sprouted everywhere, things that are tooo big..

I PROMISE I'll get a list together.
TallyHO!

DaisyTx, if the serissa is not already taken, I would love to trade for it.
molly

Tami

Hello everyone -
Sorry but I'm sick with a 102 fever. I don't think I can make the swap at Mercer tomorrow, and I really don't want to share this bug with others...

Hopefully I will see you at the spring time swap.

Beth, I was just thinking...the cypress vine is an annual and will be "kaput" pretty soon. I can take you some seeds (which are sure-fire) and another plant from the list above. I also have some pipevine (aritilochia elegans). Let me know what you think.
Tami, I would love a start of black bamboo, but probably don't have anything to entice you with.
molly

Psst David, I wasn't AT the last trade and YOU weren't at the one before that. Smarty pants. Wait till you try & get this crinum I'm digging tonight in your car!
