Thanks, Fran (and Mike), for hosting the swap ... what a great idea and it is so generous of you to do it. And thanks to you and Lisa for the plants I took home. I finally came back in the house at 8 pm after planting all afternoon. I realized after I had done it that maybe I shouldn't have put the little seedlings out yet (the tiny ones in the styrofoam cups) ... I hope they make it. I'll make sure not to let them dry out .... any other tips? I was actually wondering if I should dig them back up and bring them inside again for a while till they get a little bigger. I'll post pictures in a few days once the plants get established. I hope others do too ... I'd love to see how my "babies" turn out. Like, what color are the irises I brought? Did anybody else realize the weird thing ... the only three guys who came to the swap (not counting Mike since he didn't "come" ... he was already there) were of Indian origin? Weird. My best to all, Pankaj This post was edited by PankajT on Sun, Jun 8, 14 at 11:39

Hi! I am so sorry to have to post this, but I will be unable to attend on Sunday. I just picked my daughter up from school about an hour ago. She's vomiting and has the stomach bug (its been going around at school and I've been holding my breath till she got it) OF COURSE! She gets it the weekend we have plans. When I got the call I was actually outside setting up my pots with dirt for transplants. I am so sorry and very upset that I won't be making it :( I have a couple of side trades I was suppose to be doing on Sunday as well. If you still want to do them I'd be happy to mail the plants. It's okay if you don't want to too. I soooo apologize to everyone! I hope you all have a super time!! vina

I have: verbascum bombiciferum, malva,clematis,physostegia and cariopteris. I like all perennials and annual frost growing in zona 6 -7 particularly alpine and geraneum. Let me know how to exchange. ciao Linda

I've received mine!!!! Christmas has come early again. Grateful thanks for all your work and I am more than happy (ecstatic more like it!) with my contents of the kitty. Hope to join in again next year. Best regards from Spain.
