Here is a plant that I'm willing to trade - it was a partial eye and root cutting from the plant below, when I took a division for a trade last year. You can see one leaf is half green and half cream!

This is available for trade, as well, there is a volunteer lily and a daylily in this pot. I had put the daylily - a tiny baby fan - in a pot for someone last year, they didn't pull through, so now I offer it here. The daylily is probably a fancy one, either South Seas or Black Ambrosia.

Also have red tulip bulbs for trade - they multiply like crazy in my beds and pop up all over the place. Just a generic, red with black tulip.

Shannon, I don't need any seeds, but you can sure have some Undulata Albomarginata if you want to come help me divide them when it's time! I'm in Montgomery, and you gave me some ferns last year when I came out to your house. Here's the h. Undulata Albomarginata: Val

Bkay, I sincerely hope you have a better year in terms of your health and your hostas. Glad to hear you are retiring! From what I remember reading here on the forum, you have continued to run a business far beyond your normal retirement...if I am recalling correctly. You are definitely due some R and R ... and entering this 2017 growing season with nothing but healthy hostas is a terrific start! Wish you much joy in your garden and am looking forward to seeing pictures of your remaining healthy, beautiful hostas again....and no doubt some new additions? ;-)

Hi, I am very interested in your Streptocarpella cuttings. My gardens are 95% sun, so I don't have a lot of shade plants to offer. However, I also collect Columbine and I have a ton of seed from my garden last summer. All of my Columbine are planted together and they were open pollinated. I take all of my seeds and clean them together, so there will be a mix of all the hybrids I have. I have a ton of neat ones including pink Granny's bonnets, 'Magpie', different colored Winky, 'Lime Sorbet', yellow swallowtail, and a bunch of others. I can send a couple of packets. I'd feel bad just to send seeds though. Do I have a houseplant to swap that you'd be interested in? I have rooted pups of both normal Sansevieria trifasciata and Sansevieria trifasciata 'Laurentii', as well as nice plants of Alsobia dianthifloria. The Alsobia is related to the Streptocarpella and the care is very similar. It gets pretty white ruffled flowers. I'd be willing to throw a packet or two of seeds in with the plant.
