Years ago I got one of Brenda's seedling apricots. It quickly grow into a shapely tree and blooms its head off every winter. Lisianthus - your mama's gonna want it to make Umeboshi.

Hello Brenda-near -eno

Is it possible for me to get the Amorphophallus? I would love to grow one. Let me know what you would like from my trade list I can give it to Scott to bring it to you.

If you still have the curly willow, I would like a few cuttings of it please.. Thanks!!

Hope to see you in spring swap!!

I just found our today that I could attend, I'm getting into the game late.

Alana, I could dig a few roots of asparagus, Jersey Supreme. I would take some scabiosa.

Sabji, I have one nice rosemary plant and can bring any amount of garlic chives, white flowered. I would like two blackberry cuttings and some lemon grass if you have any not promised.

Casalester, I will take some Cleome spinosa and Lobelia cardinalis seeds.

I won't have much to bring, but if anyone would like them I have peppermint, apple mint, spearmint, chives, and garlic chives. I will also bring some iris.

Hey Anna

I would love the rosemary and garlic chives... other chives, Apple mint and iris ( bearded or not hehe). I can certainly bring you a rooted lemon grass and thornless blackberry cuttings. The spearmint, I am on a quest for the right one, I have 3 different tasting ones, but what the heck, bring it on, :-) I am so glad you are able to make it.

If anyone needs Marrubium vulgare, from the lamiaceae family, called Horehound, ( see picture in the gardening forum) under what is this ? I can bring that too. it was there when we moved in this home. so with us for a loong time.. Guaranteed perrenial.

Does anyone have any lavender Plants?

Still looking for it.

Welcome, Scott Johnson and son, Lane, to the Raleigh fall 2015 swap and to the forum..You will meet all like minded, Fun loving, and wonderful folks ; Some more green thumbs than others, yet, all are eager to getting down and dirty and growing things.

Just make yourselves comfortable.

John is the glue that holds us all together, like an extended family meeting for a reunion. except it meets twice a year.. hehe . I am sure you will enjoy it so much that whether you are delegated or not, you will love to come again.

Anyone want: Aster alpinus [tall.lavender]

I do have all the orders ready to go.

Sabji; I need very few seed. TOMORROW IS OUR DAY.

Elsiefay,

I would love the purple Aster tall. I saw these in school ( India). Beautiful..

I can still bring something else for you. Or I can (IOU) in spring.

Tomorrow , tomorrow !!

Hello Mr. Rain,Could you be a bit gentle on us at the swap???

You can pour at night, more if you like. We are truly grateful.. you have showed up, although a bit late.....

I will add your purple aster.Rain or shine.See you their.

I have rooted 8 - 10 each of over a dozen really pretty coleus and a several other tender perennials (Pereskia "Lemon Vine', quad-color Wandering Jew, several Plectranthus and Begonias, 'Thread-leaf Alternanthera, Begonia acetacello plus others) to share with anyone who has the space in an area that stays warm enough for them to survive overwinter. My greenhouse is not adequately heated and I end up losing a lot of them. If you take any or all of these, I would like a cutting next spring if yours survive and mine do not. If you are interested, let me know how many (I have roughly 20 different plants) you can handle. Likewise, if you have an especially pretty coleus, impatien or Begonia, I would like to get a cutting now.

I am bringing some Spotted Wandering Jew and Begonia grandis, both hardy, for general distribution. I also have several black stemmed ee's that look like 'Black Magic' but are more hardy and spread prolifically. I got this at one of our plant swaps, so if anyone knows its id, let me know.

For special trades I have Heuchera 'Black Currant', Heucheralla 'Solar Power', purple Oxalis triangularis, the arums Amorphophallus bulbosa and 'Konjac and arum Sauromatum venosum, Lemon Verbena, Monarda ' Raspberry Wine', Salvia 'Cherry Chief' aka 'Navajo Deep Red' and can dig Wood Salvia koyamae, variegated Soloman's Seal, Dutchman's Pipe (Pipevine). Salvia 'Black and Blue', Canna 'Bengal Tiger', etc weather permitting.

The only things I am currently looking for are Hecheras or Heucherellas I do not have, arums other than the three listed above, especially Arisaema dracontium "Green Dragon' since mine turned out to be Sauramatum, Butterfly Pea (Centrosema virginianum, not Clitoria), variegated hostas or anything you think appropriate.

Hi elsiefay, I'm sorry, I missed your offer of echinea. If you see this in time, yes, I'd sure like a plant. If not, no problem. Is there anything I have that you would like?

Hi Tammy, so glad you can come after all!

Hello Ralph,

I would love to have a couple of black elephant ears.. and to contrast it, the Pereskia "Lemon Vine plants. Thanks!! Much !!

We are here! I hope I have every thing because the truck is packed!

Woodsworm, I do already have two of the single lavender rose of sharons, but thanks for the offer. The phlox doesn'T look too good but it has large root ball.

loisthegardener,Got the echinea for you .See you there.That's fine.

Welcome to Raleigh Country girl..

Ralph could you set aside the lemon verbena? I can dig a hosta for you. I have some coleus. I can bring you some cuttings.

John, I just saw your comment about Brenda's apricot tree. VERY EXCITED about it!!! Hopefully my Mom won't kidnap it. The blooms look gorgeous from what I can see on the internet.

Gail, I am glad you and Dave had a safe drive.

Anna: what kind of irises? are they named?

My husband just asked me if he needed to get the trailer ready...omg. I am such an addict. lol.

Thank you John for making this event possible!!!

Sabji,

I will bring the herbs and iris. Casalester, thank you for the seeds.

Magickmare: I have for you stella d'oro (a BIG clump), I did not find the weeping willow sapling in my yard. I do have french pussy willow cuttings I can bring for you if interested. I also have Newberry bright moon daylily which is a late bloomer daylily...very green, lush and a quick grower...interested? And, if you do not see anything on my list that you don't already have or want then maybe a Japanese painted fern, or in the Spring I can bring you some named Irises. I just added about 40 new named bearded irises and a few will need to be split. I just saw your updated list and I was wondering if you have pulled anything aside for me from earlier posts.

I know it is late in the game but I do not mind digging in the morning. You can message me if you would like or fb pm me. Thank you!

Magic mare, Thanks! for another mojito!!! I have your weeping willow cuts,

Anyone else wants the weeping willow cuts? Reply by tomorrow 8 am.

Sabji - two black stem ee's and a Lemon Vine cactus; - Kim, Lemon Verbena for hostas; - and CasaLester, axs Oxalis triangularis for a Rosemary plant?

Brenda- so sad you can't come! :( thank you so much for the anemone, though!! can i bring anything to send back with your proxies?

country girl, i don't have much of the sedum lineare left right now. i'll make a note to get you some in spring. we had our eucalyptus cut down in the spring b/c of its size and so much winter damage 2 years running, and the guys really trampled that area, and that's where the lineare was. so i need to let it come back.

ralph, so glad you're coming! i can try to overwinter some stuff for you. i've not had good luck with coleus, but plectranthus and alternathera do fine in my greenhouse.

anna, it'll be nice to see you!

lois- thanks! :)

looking forward to seeing everyone!

magick, Hot pink crepe myrtle,varigated lily of valley.If you have run out of these that's ok.

Ralph, confirming Rosmarinus 'Hill Hardy' for Oxalis triangularis.

I wrote this last night.

I believe the first message was in the beginning of September.

I am digging and preparing until 11am. so let me know what you would like for the trade. sorry for the late update. ;)

Lisianathuslover,

The iris are not named. I have some purple bearded iris and a vigorous blue iris that is not a bearded iris. I will bring some for the general swap.

Yippee! We'll be there, rain or shine or anything between!

Did anyone save seeds from tomatoes this year? I am looking for mortgage lifter, Cherokee purple or any ones that taste good.

Karen, I have tomato seeds but they are not from this year. I have used older tomato seeds in the past and they've been fine. Cherikee purple harvested 2011 and kosova harvested 2014. I'll bring both.

Thanks everyone for a great swap!

I have all the plastic table wear, cups and so forth that was left behind. I will bring it next time.

Lois ,John and Magic Mare...movie we were talking about is' Secret life of pets'

From the description, I thought it might be 'Garfield 2', lol.

someone left a few plants (some iris, coral honeysuckle and something i
don't recall off the top) and a pair of glasses. i have them and i live
just around the bend from the park. let me know! also, someone left a
square glass baking dish behind. pm me if you know who did or it's
you!

I think it may have had the deviled eggs in it, I took the aluminum foil out of it to wrap my ladle...If so, it is elsiefay's.

ok- i will just hold onto it until i hear from whomever about how they want to proceed. i can hold it til the next swap, but i am liable to forget to bring it...

Tammy , Tammy just keep the dish or give it to someone. I have several of those.See you in the spring.Thanks!

Casalester..could you please tell me the name of the dark green sedum that was in the one pack that I gave you. It looks like this one. Thank you.

Karen Hause, have you seen the flowers of this sedum? If so what color are they? We don't have a fully authoritative answer but have some strong leads regarding its identity. We'll write more about this, but the flower color would provide additional clarification.
Incidentally, side-by-side comparison makes us more convinced that your blue sedum is S. hispanicum not 'Blue Spruce'. We'll write more about this, too.

It has not flowered.

Karen, we wrote out our thoughts on this sedum on the main forum - since this should be more of general interest.
