Hi I'd love to join. Can you please explain how it works. Thanks.

I too enjoy the Robin and fine that it is invaluable as a source of information and friendships. It is amazing the help that is poured out for any newbie with questions. I try to post periodically but carefully now. I also agree that it takes a little time to get to know the "flavor" of the social "culture" there. There are definitely some unwritten rules...which I have accidentally broken and have at least one person who will not respond to even my private replies to their questions. I "think" the rule I broke was to mention the name of someone who replied in private, even though I was thanking them in sharing their response. It seems there are occasional personality wars which promote people responding in private and wishing to remain annonymous on the public forum about such responses. Possibly I also mixed up names of who made a previous post too but I can't be entirely sure if either of these is the rule I broke because they won't even respond to my apology and request for clarification on how I ticked them off. So...for you newly joined Robin members...remember there are outspoken, sensitive, and opinionated personalities on many sides of issues on the Robin. If you get jabbed by someone after a post try not to take it personally, it happens periodically and there are others who will come to the aid of new posters who stumble on one of those unwrittens. You'll be encouraged to post again and it is, afterall, like a big family of daylily enthusiasts.

Hi, welcome, glad you're getting back, I've been getting back myself. Plenty of nice folks here who will keep you occupied and supplied with seeds, often for stamps. I'll send you some if you'll email me and let me know what interests you the most. If you want to join Acres Edible Seed Swap, just follow me down to the 10th post, as I was on my way there. good luck, have fun, Bea

pb, what do you have? Do you have giant plants from division or things you ws'd this past summer? The reason I ask is that I have: Daisy 'Becky' and a perennial pink Anemone (forgot the name, but it was from Bluestone)pretty big plants. I have a butterscotch-yellow..it's yellow with a hint of butterscotch mini daylily, which is also a big plant, and a beautyberry Callicarpa bush (small about 6" but I think they grow pretty fast) to trade. These would be VERY expensive to ship. One of those $8.00 priority mailers wouldn't handle the daisy at all, but could ship the daylily, the anemone and the beautyberry bush. I could also try to slip in a really cool Thalictrum aquilegiafolium, but it would look pretty sorry if things shifted around. (no common name on the Thalictrum, but the Latin just rolls off the tongue. I'm looking for mature-size perennials. One I really want is Daisy 'Wirral Pride', but I am open to lots of possibilities, as long as I don't have them and my neighbors (whom I am going to hit up for plants soon!) don't have them LOL! Lime
