hi all, I'm planning on coming - if I can get root to go with me and split the fuel costs! I'm updating my swap list and my want list this evening. I dug out an entire bed and where I thought I might have a few hundred bulbs, I have thousands. However, my daughter's boyfriend was so kind to dig it out for me. Therefore, I have a wheelbarrow load of bulbs, and 3 - 5 gal buckets full. I know what they all are and will try to separate them, but it's bulb time with no cultivar names. I know which are daffodils (mixed cultivars), which are lycoris (all the lycoris are th radiata), I have tons of muscari (all americana - the plain purple), crocus (mixed cultivars), lilies (mixed orientals and asiatics), daylilies (mixed hybrid cultivars - no ditch lilies), etc. Fran, I've tried Gunnera twice and both times, believe it or not, it rotted on me. Both times it came up about 5", but then died and when I checked the bulb, it was soft and mushy. I thought Gunnera was a water plant. Questions for all you guys. I have a hardy Tapioca. I've had it 3 years now, it's in the greenhouse - never taken the time to plant it out in the yard. 1st question - can I plant it out now or should I wait until spring? 2nd question - It has a fruit on it. What do I do with this fruit? LOL Thanks, Vickie

Sabji : do you have any fenugreek seeds? I have some variegated basil if you are interested Magick: Re you still looking for Stella d oro lily? Would like your white rebloom azalea. Or maybe you would like a variegated basil? Gail, I am jealous! Get something awesome! I will be joining everyone next year for that event. Camelialover: I have set aside purple balloon flower seeds, yellow iris, and Persian shield for your thalictrum, agapanthus, and spirea

I am so looking forward to the fall plant swap. I have some plants I will be bringing and some for the special trade. If you have any of these plants and would like to do a special trade before the swap please let me know. I'm looking for various types of elephant ears to include mojito's. nice size picture plants, donkey ears, red banana tree, weeping bald cypress tree, varigated irises and a rain barrow. I have a green banana tree that can reach heights of over 12ft tall and will come back year after year but I will bring one that will fit easily in my car, sedums, small cold hardy yucca that doesnt die back even in winter, I have outdoor bamboo for privacy in which i can bring one, varigated green and yellow cannas, & varigated green and white hosta. I may have more plants and will update if i have anything else. If your interested in a special trade right before the swap and you have any of the plants I mentioned I wanted please let me know.
