Is anyone interested in:

Small evergreen agaves for growing in pots

Furry leafed wandering jew that stays where you put it

Little evergreen 'finger cactus' for pots

Ghost plant (ever grey) that blooms pink

I can bring IF there is anybody that wants them.

We have an old five foot wooden ladder that we've replaced with a more sturdy aluminum one. Bob was going to trash it, but I've seen magazine pictures where in a cottage garden setting old ladders have been used to grow vines on or, when placed on the ground and the sections filled with soil, they've been shown planted with herbs or flowers.

If anyone wants it for that purpose I can bring it to the swap.

The ladder has been laying on it's side out by the compost pile. Bob just hauled it out. It's rotten on one side, but will still stand up. So if anyone wants it speak now (as the saying goes :-) or it will be broken up and put out for the trash pick-up on Tuesday.

I carved of my birdhouse gourds.
Subsequently, I now have lots of BH gourd seeds.

I think I have other things that I may bring, but they weren't right in front of my while I was making my list.

I'm looking for daylilies other than orange. Would like iris other than white. Odd salvias would be great. Other flowering plants and natives if I don't have them already. Please email me directly if you're interested in anything I have. I would love to have as many pre-arranged swaps as possible so I don't have to bring everything I have.

For ROSELEE :

I'm having trouble emailing you through GardenWeb, probably because of their network problems or whatever is going on. So, hopefully you get this. Is there anything on my list above that you'd be interested in ? I saw on another post for the SA swap that you also have a few Chrysler Imperials to trade. Would love to have one if we can arrange a trade. Please let me know. Or post here, since we can't get to each other's emails. I'll try to remember to come back and check for new posts.

Thank you !

(this silly system wouldn't let me post a second time !) Unless I changed the subject line. Gee !

patty

Hi Patty, sorry you've had a problem emailing me through GW. Sometimes it works as I have gotten mail through it.

The little Chrysler Imperial rose has your name on it (or will have in the morning :-) A pink passionvine sounds interesting if it's available, but I'm not picky and don't even have to trade. I just like to provide other gardeners with things they want if I can. I've so appreciated the pass-along plants I've received through the years.

castro and roselee, if you haven't already managed to email each other, I can send you the other's email if everyone is in agreement.

Here's what I'll be bringing.

Rock Rose
Ice Plant - pink
Damianita
Flowering Senna, yellow
Lemon Verbena
Dianthus, perennial pink
Mexican Oregano
Jerusalem Sage (gray leaved, evergreen, purple spikes in spring)
Guara, I think, pink airy foliage
Four Nerve Daisy
Lemon Thyme

I'll also bring divisions of Mexican Mint Marigold, White Iris, and Ruby Grass - pink crystals.

Patty and Tammy, y'all have some great plants to offer! I just dug and potted:

3 Fruit cocktail shrimp plants

2 small red leaf crinum bulbs

1 3 gal root bound climbing Japanese climbing fern

1 large root of tropical dutchman's pipe vine
(mentioned on the other thread)

2 little starts of asparagus fern

1 purple cactus pad rooting in pot

Does anybody want garlic chives?

Also, it's late, but am attempting to root some Sweet almond bush stems in water.

Hi Ladies!!

Here's what I'm bringing. If you are interested in any of these goodies, let me know at cestbellevie@yahoo.com

Yellow Butterfly vine-Magcagnia macropteria (4 rooted plants)
Carolina Yellow Jasmine -1 rooted plant
Phillippine Violet- 4 rooted plants
Pink Rain Lilies
Texas Everbearing fig-4 rooted cuttings
Lemongrass
Gregg's mist flower
Amaryllis belladonna bulbs
Edible Taro Plant (resembles elephant ears)
A beautiful Magenta Cymbidium Orchid (I've had no luck with it-maybe one of you give it a good home)

Since I don't have many plants to offer, I am also bringing:
4 Jars of homemade FIG PRESERVES
6 Jars of homemade SATSUMA MANDARIN MARMALADE
6 Jars of homemade MEYER LEMON MARMALADE
homemade FLYING SAUCERS (OATMEAL COOKIES WITH DATES AND RAISIN)
homemade BROWNIES with TEXAS PECANS

My plant wish list includes:
Flowering Ginger of any kind
Bunny Larkspur plant or seeds (I can't find this sold anywhere)
Poppy seeds (double flowers or single)
Bluebonnet seeds
Any annuals that readily reseeds itself
Irises any color
Daylilies (Evergreen or Semi Evergreen)
Angel's Trumpet (doubles) cuttings
Hoya cuttings
Hardy or plate size Hibiscus

I have a varigated hoya. Would you trade a greggs mist flower for a couple cuttings of the hoya?

I am bringing a start of this vine to the swap. I just ran across the picture and thought I better put it here before I never find it again. It was purchased at Rainbow Gardens in S.A. and I'm hoping they will have another one sometime so I can get the name of it.

It's a nice vine, not overwhelmingly showy, but not aggressive either. It has little roundish shiny green leaves.

I just saw one or two little 'chocolate plants' coming up. Anybody want one? The leaves are sort of chocolate colored and they have little purple flowers. It's a perennial that grows in the shade and nicely spreads itself around.

I still can't believe how much it rained last summer. It, and everything else, was really thick and lush.

If anyone wants some Agarita please let me know. I'm not a fan of it, but have an area with several plants.

So, who all is coming? Not many have posted here yet.

Here is a link that might be useful: Agarita

Thanks, Tammy, for the offer of digging up an Agarita! Lucky you having them on your property. Agarita is an interesting columnar shrub with holly like leaves and has edible fruit in the fall. I used to love to come upon one in the hill country and just stand there and eat them off the bush. I have no room here to plant one, but was tempted when my friend Lesli bought one when we were at Schumacher's a couple of weeks ago.

I will be bringing several Coral vines, or Queen's Crown as my grandmother used to call them, but properly known as Antigonon leptopus.

It's hard to think of any vine that gives so much for so little. It is perennial and forms a big root that makes it drought tolerant, can climb to the top of tall trees, blooms continuiously from early summer until frost, no disease or insect problems and butterflies and all kinds of bees; honey bees and wild bees, love it. Don't worry about the bees. I get right on top of them while taking pictures and they never pay me any mind when they are foraging.

I think you've got a taker! If you have one left... greedy, me.

Cestbellevie, I'd love some of the pink rain lillies.....do you think they'll make it rain??? LOL Also the cymbidium. I'd love to try growing/blooming it. I just bought two baby cyms a couple weeks ago, but it will be a year or two before they bloom.

Now.....I stumbled onto this thread......When & where is this swapmeet? I live about 60 mi from SA, but have oh so many plants to share. Just to name a few:

Purple Datura
White Moon Plant
Ornamental peppers
Jerusalem Cherry
Cypress Vine
Butterfly Vine
Texas Star Hibiscus
Perhaps......depending on date of swap meet
Bluebonnet Seed
Poppy Seed
Larkspur Seeds
The above currently in bloom.

Please let me know date/time/place.

April 12th at MacArthur Park in NE San Antonio. This is on the North frontage road of Loop 410.

Pavillion #1 has about 10 large tables and benches.

Gran, thanks for posting! We'll look forward to seeing you!

Here is a link that might be useful: San Antonio Swap Info

I'm so excited - 2 plant swaps in April and 1 in May. I have lots of things rooted:

ice plant (pink)
redbud plant
tangerine cross vine
African Violets
Boston Fern
Yarrow (yellow)

Lots of other things - but have to be able to start unloading the greenhouse so I can get to some of them. Also have tomato plants to share - they are in 1 gallon pots if anyone is interested.

If no one else claims the ladder, I'll take it.

Thanks.

I also have louffa gourd seeds, they make beautiful vines, very pretty yellow blooms, then of course the louffa sponges. Also Golden Dewdrops & garlic chives plants and more that I can't come up with names (senior moment, LOL). I think I can make April 12.

Sheila :)

Does anyone want:

Root beer plant
perennial morning glory (no seeds !)
4 oclock
vinca
canna musifolia
chile pequin
bouncing bet
pink ice plant

I don't want to dig or pot these if there aren't any takers. If no one wants them they go in the burn pile -- if we ever get to burn brush again.

Patty

I got an ID on the vine with the lavender flowers (pix posted above).

It's the Lavender orchid vine (Mascagnia lilacina) related to, but not as fast growing as the yellow flowered butterfly vine. A native of Mexico, it's a moderate grower with twining stems.

I have about three little starts.

Here is a link that might be useful: Mascagnia lilacina on Dave's Garden

So sorry Lavernialady :-( My hubby already sawed up the ladder and the trash men took it.

Well, we have a lot of good stuff that's being offered for the swap. I went ahead and potted up a couple of chocolate plants. Hope there are some takers.

Hello trsinc,

I'd really like a rock rose.

I posted my list in 'April 12th San Antonio Swap' thread; hope you can find something you want to take home there.

Julie

Julie,

I'll bring you the rock rose if any survive. They are not looking good at all and I've been told they are really hard to root. So, keep your fingers crossed. See you there. :)

Tammy

Patty, If you prefer to dig rather than burn then please bring me some chile pequin and 4 o'clocks. If it's too much trouble in the end, then don't worry about it.

Thanks! Tammy

I don't mind its appearance, Tammy, I'll give it a try.
Thanks!

Hi All,

Does anyone want rooted plants of PURPLE POTATOES? Hubby loves purple potatoes in curries and beef stews, so I gave it a try out in the garden. Have way too many plants that took. By the end of this season, hubby should be turning purple too......... :)

Hi all,

This is the 'step stone', 7" x 10".
It is actually a wall decoration, but I've been using it as a step stone.

Here is a link that might be useful:

That's a wonderful piece, Julie! You mentioned it on the other S.A. Swap thread. Are you offering it for a trade? You should get your pick of just about anything with that :-)

Purple Potato Ceste-sounds interesting!! I'm all for different. Our MG group went to the SA Botanital Garden today. Forgot how beautiful it is and so many interesting plants!! A plant nut like me could go even crazier than normal.

okie doke...Ive decided that ill be at the swap also....so this is what I have:

Double purple datura(datura metel)
Worm Castings
rabbit poo
Lace cactus
.....
Ill probably have more but I have to look at what I got

Big thanks to Patty for helping me find this thread for the SA Swap.

Roselee, I would love some purple cactus pad and tropical dutchman's pipe vine, and possibly some lavender orchid vine if you have enough. If not, that's okay.

Granniek,
You don't know how long I have been looking for loofah seeds. I would really like some, and maybe some cypress vine.
Pheonix7801,
Worm castings and rabbit poo would just make my day. I am just starting out with worms, and I hear they love rabbit poo.
Thanks!

Below is my list of haves:

Bulbine (yellow)
Bulbine (orange)
squill
night blooming cereus (white)
Jewel of Opar (lime green)
Canna (red)
Canna (yellow with orange spots)
Canna (dark kind of bronze)
Louisiana iris (yellow)
Garlic (culinary)Plants are about a foot tall.
Garlic (society)
Aloe saponaria
Papaya ( it didn't do too well in the greenhouse. It's just a stalk, but it's got some green buds on it.
fatsia japonica seeds (if I can get them cleaned.)

Rosetx, I'm bringing several lavender orchid vines so will put "Rosetx" on one of them to make sure you get it.

I had only one tropical pipe vine and it is spoken for, but I noticed that Rainbow Garden's has them for sale.

Will try to harvest another purple cactus pad for you. My mother plant got top heavy and blew over in the wind and I threw those toppled parts away.

Hi roselee,

Hope you are interested in the step stone, because I am interested in your small evergreen agaves. it can make a good Christmas gift for my children's teachers, and a good silent auction item for their school :-)

Julie, I'm interested, but I just hate to see you give up your stepping stone! I have four or five of the little guys and you can have them all.

You can have the stepping stone, I'll survive without it :-)
Seriously I want to give it away.
Thanks roselee.

Phoenix, I was going to send you an email directly, but you didn't have your email on your member page, so I hope you see this. So glad you're joining us for the swap. The more the merrier. Truly !

I would love some rabbit poo -- please check my list above for something I could swap for this. Do we need to bring our own containers to put it in ?

Thank you !

patty

If anyone has any oakleaf hydrangea, I would love a couple. A couple of my friends are looking for some.
Thanks.
Rose

I have a couple root cuttings that you are welcome to. I just dug them about 5 weeks ago, so can't be sure they will take.

rosetx, I have two pink Bigleaf Hydrangeas. Let me know if your friends want any.

Tammy. I sent you an email. Please check your yahoo account. Thanks.

Julie

Julie, Tammy's computer is down. I don't know if she will have access to her email before the swap.

OK. Thanks roselee. Guess I'll just see you guys at the swap.

Kathy and Julie, thanks a bunch! See you there.

Hi everyone!
I'll be there but not sure what I'm bringing yet, so it will have to be a surprise. Also bringing pasta salad, plates & forks.
See you on Saturday!

Beth

I am so glad you will be able to make it.

Kathy, I know you mentioned somewhere that we should bring our own plates/utensils and drinks, but I saw someone volunteer to bring some paper products, and I'll be bringing a few sodas and water.

See you all there for a nice lunch, great conversation, friendly faces, and of course.... lots of unique plants !

patty

Purple potatoes, do you mean SWEET potatoess? If so, yes, yes, yes! I've been trying to find purple sweet potato slips for years.

I dug a gorgeous blue iris and I have a red day lily that I'll trade for the cymbidium & the rain lillies. I'll have to get your mailing address & I'll send you the larkspur, poppy & bluebonnet seed in a few weeks when I harvest them.

Sheila :)

RoseTx, I'll have you some loofa (complete with the sponge) and also the cypress vine plants.,

I'd love to try your yellow bulbine and the yellow iris too if they are still available. I love yellow blooms!

I'll be at the park early. I also have to leave early and won't be able to stay for lunch (I'm sure I'll regret this!!!). We've a prior commitment for a 'b'day party at 3:00 in the afternoon. I must get home for rest, shower & change before on to the party.

See you Saturday.

Sheila :)
