O goodness! About anything I have doubles of! I'm not 100% sure what I have that would interest you, I'm flush with elephant ears, I have about 15 tradable types, lots of other tropicals, some hosta, daylily, hardy asiatic oriental trumpet orenpent martignon ... Lots of lilys If you don't mind email me and can work things out, there's a few things on your list interesting me too I realize the bulb you mentioned is not cheap, ill make a strong offer, I just hope I can tempt you with the plant I have, most are not much like the ones you have, but the elephant ears sure do good for me in zone 6 Thanks alot for the response!

I probably should start paying more attention to some things. As for TP, I always buy Scott's 1000 sheets per roll because with the "fluffy" brands, once you squeeze a roll just to see how much air it contains, Scott's looks like a bargain. White TP uses chlorine dioxide to bleach it white. I don't remember TP ever being brown - except maybe in Europe where wood chunks were still embedded. After all - it's TP, not some mystical experience. Tuna - I tend to buy the 8 pack, six ounce cans of Starkist Solid White Albacore from Sam's Club. Runs $7-8, but seems a bargain compared to the grocery store single can price which here, in Middle America, can be well over a dollar for the smaller sized cans.

Thanks El & Rigo! I can't sleep..see this is what happens when I dont work in the yard..full of energy at midnight.argh! Neighbors are fighting very loudly, & Now DH is out on OT so I def won't fall asleep. El, I Wish we had a place like that around here! I wanted to buy DD a couple venus fly traps, she's been wanting them for a few months, but HD wants $8 for a teeny tiny lil one. I remember when I bought mine ..o geez, I was gonna say a few yrs back, but its more than that.. More like 15 maybe 16, o lordy, lol..I only paid $2.99, if that. My cats ate them though. DH who was BF at the time bought me a bunch more, and the cats ate them again. So what did she get last Sunday instead? Mice...both the older kids got 2 mice each, I made them get females, and it turns out one of DD's is prego. greeaaaat!!! yes, that was sarcastic, lol. Venus Fly Traps woulda been cheaper. Rigo, I like that ponytail palm! I have been tempted to get one myself every time I see them at HD, but I know my cat and the puppy will destroy it. Thanks for sharing..if I can't have one at least I can look at yours! :) Daniella

Daniella, I think your right about your coneflowers. I have some that look the very same. From everything I read it said to discard the plants and others that show symptoms. It is my understanding that it can be passed on to other plants by bugs eating or gathering nector from one plant and then spreading it to the next plant they feed on. Makes sense to me. They also said it's spread by some kind of weeds in the flowerbeds. I'm like you I read so much about it my head was spinning. After reading about it I pulled all mine up. Let's just say I decided it was something I didn't want taking over my other plants and flowers. It is considered to be a SICK PLANT and therefore should not be shared with other gardeners unless they want the infection around there other plants. I don't want any, I also thought mine were UGLY. Everything was GREEN stems, leaves, flowers, just too much of a good thing. I like vivid colors on my coneflowers. LOL Good Luck and Happy Gardening, P.S. I wish I had known before you didn't know about Birds and Blooms. I would have sent you a stack of my old ones. Your kids would have loved to just look at all the beautiful photos of flowers and birds. I gave them all away at the plant swap.
