Likewise!! It was so wonderful actually meeting everyone and thank you SO very much for your generosity! Gardengramma, thank you especially for hosting, and providing such a gloriously beautiful place for us to meet. (You did am amazing job dialing up the weather as well). Since I got there without my leucojeum or redhot poker I'd be open to making one-off arrangements. I had to get the leucojeum right back into the ground but I can dig some more. Some people also mentioned a possible fall meeting? Which of course would be better for leucojeum, peonies, other fall-dormant plants... One other note - I thought I'd be able to tell people this as we traded but it was a little too chaotic -- in our area we have a serious problem with Japanese stilt grass, very invasive in the woods near us. I don't know if it's widespread but I don't want to be responsible for spreading it. I'm pretty sure I did not include any ride-alongs in my trades, BUT, stilt-grass makes a lot of seed. It's incredibly easy to pull up and easy to kill, but if it goes to seed, it makes an awful lot. Don't let anything grassy come up in your transplants...

I have been away for a looooong time, but am so excited to be able to come this year!!! I moved back a couple years ago but couldn't come because I knew I wouldn't be able to visit with everyone and not bring home a bunch of plants. I just wasn't in a place where I could have them. Last year I bought a house and now I have a whole acre to play with!!! I won't have any plants to share this year though. Thanks again John for having the plant swap on my birthday! Oh, and I had to make a new account, formerly I was 'tie' Tanya
