Anyone interested in swapping some cuttings for cuttings?
Comments (4)I forgot to add, to please let me know your state, if it isn't listed along with your garden zone so it shows in the posted by line. retsec LA Thanks for your post and email. I'm sorry but I cannot find items of interest at this time. greenhousemsWhat is your location/state? Is it maybe MS? Was not sure. I found one item of interest. If you could also decide on just one (maybe 2) for a small First Class Bubble envy trade? (did I miss your posting here...teeheehee) inthegarden_k NC What you offered is not hardy here. What is my method for propagating you asked....hmmm....no real plan yet, figured I'd do a lot of searches here, and come up with a couple of ways. Yes, I remember our trade...thank you again Sweetie! cynister NH I would love to trade for cuttings of Weeping Willow Salix Caprea Pendula cuttings-Please drop me an email with your addy, and any particulars you can think of (if any) for the cuttings...number/length. I look forward to trading. I presently have 19 seed sasbe offers/cuttings/trades transactions of all kinds going on in different stages. It is very hard for me to keep track of so many things, GW name, real name, email name....but I am working on a 'system finally' and hopefully that will help. Please bear with me, and post here, so I have a way of tracking things and not missing anyone accidentally. I will be away from the computer (sigh) from sometime later today, until sometime Tues. At that time I will again acknowledge any new posts. Thank you all for responding....See MoreWANTED: Can't wait til spring to trade ~ anyone interested?
Comments (10)Tim, I defiantly would like to line up a trade for later this spring. We have had several 65-70 degree days, so I at least have winter bloomers, camellia in full swing, hellebores and hundreds of spring bulbs. We have many of the same hostas, but I think we should be able to come up with 6-7 equal plants to trade. Some of mine are quite large. I write a gardening article so I like to make trades that I can share with my viewers. I will review your list and send a request and please do the same with my list. I can also add some plants that do well with hostas as I have woodland garden perennials that seed well in the compost I make. I sent a week at Killington in October, a condo overlooking the mountainÂ.just gorgeous in its fall colors. Look forward to hearing from you, Linda...See MoreCanadian Mail order sites?
Comments (9)Here's my experience: Flying in - declare your plants (because you have to, and make sure you tell the truth on your customs declaration, unless you're feeling lucky, that is), make sure they're soil-free, and make sure you're ready to tell the Ag inspection team that these plants are no danger to becoming invasive to the native flora. Of course, with so few being cold-hardy, relatively speaking, this has the added bonus of being true. Driving across - make sure the plants are soil-free, and be ready to explain to the border officer about them not being invasive IF THEY ASK YOU about plants. Usually they do not. Most of my collection has been brought in thus. I would guess I have brought in CITES-restricted plants, but since I get them usually from reputable nurseries, and never buy field-collected / illegally-harvested plants, TTBOMK, but I usually don't worry about that. If that would be a problem in the future, I'd guess I'd resort to more seed-growing. Valley Succulents is a nice place to deal with - my one experience with Jamie was overall postive. If I ever get to Comox I'd like to visit his nursery. Of course, you can develop trades on this side of the border, but again, if you are just starting a collection, it can be difficult. But we're usually a very generous lot. Of course (#2, and the more important of them) the best place to meet people, talk/get/peruse plants is a C&S Society. Fortunately, Vancouver has one. Their show isn't too far away. There's also a Society in Victoria. CactusVan...See Morewould anyone be interested in laser cut plastic plants?
Comments (8)I have only been on this forum for a short time so can't speak for everyone. However, you may have more interest in your idea from a forum that is focused on home decor or something like that. I can tell you that I don't want any kind of faux plant. Not plastic, not silk, none of them. It is not that I think they are ugly and many of them are so life like. It is more about what I love about my real plants. I love to care for them. I love to water them and pull that yellowing leaf off. I love to prune them back and then try to propagate that stem. I get excited when I see a root form on that stem or new growth of some kind on my plants. I love that they are not "perfect", that they are different, unique, flawed at times. I love that I have some that are really finicky and I have to work hard to have the right environment for them to flourish. The time that I do my "plant chores" such as watering, trimming, re-potting, removing dried leaves, watching for new growth, making sure the light is right, etc...is my therapy time. If my plants only needed dusting occasionally, I would not have them I love when I am in a plant store and see a new color or variety of a plant that I enjoy. I love to watch a bloom just start to form and them follow it as it comes to its full beautiful self. And then I also enjoy watching it fade and die...that is what our plants do. I think that most of the people on this forum do love the beauty and decor and accent that our plants bring to our homes and offices. But that is not the main reason we love them. We love that they are alive, and need our care and that it can be a challenge to keep them beautiful or to grow more like them. Again I am not speaking for everyone, just my 2 cents....See MoreTodd C
