Do you have any of your viola odorata still available? I don't have anything on your "want" list, but I have beautiful irises, some spider lily bulbs, Stargazer or Starfighter bulbs (can't remember which is which), loquats, styrax. The loquat and styrax trees are over a year old and are about a foot tall with lots of roots.

Hi I am also looking for dwarf iris. I have some items on your want list. Do you specifically want only the plants on your want list or will you consider others that are not on your want list? I have a lot of newer tall bearded iris that I will be dividing this year. Right now, I have about 4 plants on your want list, iris sea power, daylily blueberry candy, cantique and a geum with nice gold red tinged flowers. If you are interested, I can send you my list of tall bearded iris and daylilies. This post was edited by kousa on Thu, Jun 5, 14 at 0:20

I have lots of herb seeds of all kinds of herbs - annual, perennial, culinary, medicinal, etc. I'd love to trade for AVs. I'll send you an email, and hopefully we can work out a trade. Sue

Kippy, the plant in your photo is a whole other beast, the Kenilworth ivy (Cymbalaria muralis), which is in the Scrophulariaceae, or snapdragon, family and not a violet. They don't get very out of hand here in Livermore due to the heat, adverse soil conditions, and dryness and have to content themselves with trying to appropriate watered flower pots. I remember a stone or cement wall at the train station in Irvington, New York (on the Hudson River), that was beautifully covered with this species -- it is a classic wall plant and totally adapted to growing in crevices. I was glad for this posting last year as it alerted me that the innocuous-looking little blue violet that arrived with a pot of iris was probably not so innocent after all. I removed a good-sized patch that had already sprung up, finding, as Molineaux says, that its root system is scary-huge and tenacious. Another close call.
