OT - Invasive Ornamentals
Comments (1)Sometimes invasiveness depends on which zone you're in. I have both lychnis and hesperis matronalis and neither have proved to be invasive. However i do have something similar to that bellflower, and i guess zone 3 doesn't bother it at all. :/ My sister-in-law has tried to give me some "poor man's orchid", which i've declined, but she somehow slipped a different bellflower in with something that she gave me. I think she has a mean streak! Time to give her some of my bellflower, eh? LOL Here is a link that might be useful: Your link...See MoreExchange forum... a bit OT but I'm curious
Comments (28)Mercer is held twice a year, spring and fall at Mercer Arboreteum in Houston, Tx. Jennifer does all the leg work and posts it on the Texas exchange forum. Galveston County master gardeners have a spring swap, it used to be twice a year, at Jack Brooks park in Dickinson, or is it League City?. Yadda usually organizes a swap in Ft. Bend in late Spring, there are only a few of us that show up there. All of these will be posted on the Texas exchange page. With our climate things grow very well, sometimes too well, so always trying to find homes for things. It is easier to just load up someones car for sure. Josh, I don't grow any jades. They really don't like the humidity here on the island. I've got tons of other stuff though I'll work on a list next week when I'm off. Aloes, oputania, agaves, tropicals... PG, there are tons of plant societies in Houston, which meet about 80 miles from my house, usually on weekday nights so I haven't joined any. Just can't do the long drive through Houston traffic. Here on the island, nothing. We don't even have a really active garden club. Of course, our population is really down, around 45,000 of us left. Jim of Jimbos in Santa Fe raises bromeliads and other tropicals. He is a member of several societies and I may start car pooling to meetings with him. He's very active in the bromeliad community so I've gleaned tons of information from him, and like me he likes weird stuff, including cacti/succulents. I still trade on line, especially when the banana canna gets out of hand, $20 a rhizome!! And it's the fastet growing canna in the yard. Anyone want any let me know LOL!

Comments (145)Hi Sandy, I was so excited to find my package waiting for me when I returned home from work yesterday. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! I can't tell you how pleased and happy I am with the seeds you sent me - you really did a fantastic job! All your time and hard work is very much appreciated. Matching up seeds to all of our "want" lists had to have been a tedious job and a lot of work! You deserve a big pat on the back! Thanks also to RBRADY and MNWSGAL who sent seeds in marked for me!!! : ) Again...thanks a million Sandy - I love everything and can't wait to get them going! : ) Smiles : ) - Lisa...See MoreNEW: mnf kiss ornament exchange
