All of you who start from seeds.... do you want some six-packs ? I have the large ones, and I think the regular smaller ones as well.

Ok so far this is what I have down. Let me know if I missed something:

Sabalmatt: 1 Chocolate Cherry Tomato, a pair of Golden Sunset epi cuttings and a pair of Autumn Shadow cuttings

LeapingFrog: 1 genovese basil, 1 cucumber and 1 squash. The cactus and yucca would be nice :-)

Gardenlover: Sungold Tomato, 2 brandywine tomatoes and 1 cucumber

Sewnmom: Cactus Soil and Grace Ann epi cuttings

Haves:

10 Basil

1g Sungold Tomato

2 1g Cherokee Purple Tomato

4 1g Chocolate Cherry Tomato

4 1g Yellow Cherry Tomato

2 1g Black Cherry Tomato

5 4" Tatuma Squash

6 Jalafuego jalapeno

A pair of Autumn Shadow epi cuttings

A pair of Sonic Bloom epi cuttings

A pair of Madine epi cuttings

cactus soil

phoenix, if you have any epi s left, I'd love a couple,and cactus soil. molly

Phoenix, I'll take an epi cutting as well, golden sunset if still available!

Sadly I am going to have to miss this swap. Still dealing with tornado damage. Hopefully everything will be back together by fall. If anyone wants any Maximilian sunflowers or Gulf Penstemon or random native plants. I always have lots to share if you are up my way near Kyle. Enjoy the swap and hope to see you in the fall.

Lorelei and Sewnmom I set aside yalls requests as well. I also edited the above list

phoenix7801: I would love to have 2 Brandywine tomatoes. Will get you some pecans.

Cool I'd love some. Set aside your tomatoes

Does anyone have a rooted lemon plant?

dstartz: I can have more malabar spinach if you want to spare. Do you still have Primrose Jasmine and Rutgers?

Is anyone interested in this planter ? It is 2-part which kinda snaps together. Perfect for herbs. I've had it for years, then Roselee (who painted it purple) had it for awhile, now it's time for someone else to enjoy it. Let me know and I'll throw it in the truck.

Pheonix I have your yucca and some cactus.

Bluegirl, I have your yellow water iris and water fern.

update to what I'm bringing:

Ichang Lemon seedlings (4)- these are a very cold hardy citrus to 10* and will produce fruit the size of a grapefruit; Wedelia (3)- a tough, yellow blooming ground cover that really spreads; Bauhinia forficata aka Brazillian orchid tree or Pata de Vaca (2)- it's nice in that it blooms all summer through fall and is cold hardy; Agave lophanta type (1); Cordia bosseri aka Texas Olive (2); green tradescantia w/ white spots on leaves aka wandering j** (2); salvia farinacea aka mealy cup sage (1); Texas or Mexican sabal palm seedlings; Date palm seedlings 'black sphinx' and many 5 gal and 15 gal black plastic pots.

Just a reminder please: do not park in front of people's driveways and /or their mailboxes. You might get a traffic ticket if you do! Can't wait to see everyone tomorrow!

Can I have one of those Ichang Lemon seedlings Matt? Sounds interesting

sabalmatt: One Ichang Lemon seedling for me too. Thanks.

sabalmatt, why, why do you do this to me? :p I've wanted Bauhinia forficata for years. Ragna and Irene gave me a white bauhinia but I don't think is forficata and it died back during the last winter even though it is planted 2' from the house which makes me think it is not that hardy. Does your BF has thorns? Ragna has not been able to propagated by seed. How did you propagate yours?

Omar

Looks like it was awesome! I'm hoping to make the fall swap this year.

Nice seeing everyone again & meeting some for the first time. Many many thanks to all who took & shared plants with me.

Long-time friends and attendees, Linda and Sheila. Linda always has great native plants, while Sheila always brings unique edibles.

Matt speaking to Karen (Bluegirl), who came with her dad from Kerrville area.

Lauren and Joey helping Rochelle (shellshok) pick out the best tomato and squash.

Linda and Sheila discussing something while Valerie (right) listens in. (Matt and Bettina in background)

Mike and Karen, with her dad Rudy, seated.

Lisa with friend Miriam, who hopes to travel to Costa Rica -- where I imagine she will see some very awesome plants! Pat (LeapingFrogLady) is in the background checking to see what she has left over.

Tally tells Rose (Pat's cousin) that she really needs that plant!

We missed seeing Donna (dstartz), Ragna (Roselee) and Mara (Wantonamara) who were unable to attend. We missed you!

Patty, thank you for the excellent photos! I really enjoyed see all y'all having such a great time!!! Maybe I can make the fall swap.

Thank you all for the plants and and conversation! I look forward to the fall meet & swap.

Omar/Vulture61- RE: Bauhinia forficata. I've grown this for years and got my original plant from a seed from a (late) friend in Houston who got the seed from a (late) friend of his that obtained his seed in Brazil. It is forficata (w/ thorns) and is cold hardy. I've grown it in Dallas for years, although it froze back in 2011 & 2013, then quickly regrew in the spring. I like that it blooms from May until we get a hard freeze. The seed has been easy to germinate.

Thanks for everything. So glad to see familiar and new faces. Looking forward to planting everything tomorrow. Hope to see everyone in the fall.

Great to see you all on such a nice day!

Lorelei, thank you for securing the park another year--it's perfect, isn't it? and thank you for the liatris seedling, native blue aster & for the water celery. It's a great plant for keeping water clean for the goldies.

Mamachile & Mike--ah, refreshments--thank you ;-) My Dad loved visiting with you.

Yvette & family--thank you for the purple bearded iris. Heck, I didn't read your shirts--sounds like a neat place.

Leapingfrog--love the hornwort & yellow Louisiana iris--please remind me next fall & I'll bring you some of the purple & a lovely plum colored one that were given to me.

Patty--always enjoy your pics & commentary, along with the visiting. Thank you for the alstroemeria--wow, what a huge bucket full.

Sheila--always a pleasure to share your enthusiasm. Thank you for the lamb's quarters. I know I'll never run out :-D I never noticed that the blush part on top will rub off to make a natural rouge.

Tally--thank you for the crinums & "African hoya"--you always have the neatest things. Hope y'all's trip is lots of fun.

Matt--thank you for the neat Ichang lemon & hardy Bauhinia & historic Cramoisi Superieur. Oh, & the very unusual tradescantia--how cool! And the hard Dicksia (how is that spelled? I know that's not right) Ya SEE Omar? this is what happens when you don't come. That'll larn ya, yukyuk. I have you a bucket of Ragna's Country Girl mums.

HoneyBunny--happy Birthday! so good to see you! And Ragna, dear! Happy Anniversary! You get well & come in October, even if just to visit.

I'm surely leaving things & people out, but so happy to see you all again & thank you for the great plants & fellowship. Happy planting tomorrow :-D

Mike, Dad discussing schooldays, Miriam

Kirt, Yvette & Matt--wow, that's dedication, coming to a swap & hauling all that stuff with your arm in a sling! Get well soon, Matt.

Tally & Jim, Lauren & Joey, Matt.

A wonderful time and I'm exhausted planting everything I swore I wasn't going to come home with! Barbara's the one who makes the reservations! I just make sure she has the money and the date. Nice meeting some of the newcomers and the old timers and thank you to those who come from such a long way away from home! And we missed some of you regulars, too!

Great to see the pictures. I missed all of you and I will hopefully be at the fall swap. I am a planting fool with a bunch of natives that I am growing from seed. ... so any extra will be there in the fall if I don't kill them over the summer.

Bluegirl, so where are my Country Girl mums? So you ended up with MY BF? Not fair. :p

Matt, thank you for the info. Didn't I get some oxalis from you last fall?

Omar

DYCKIA. DYCKIA. DYCKIA.

Omar, I brought them home, as I wasn't sure who to leave them with. If you come through SA or whatever, I'll meet you. Or I can bare-root them & mail, if you'd like.

YOUR Bauhinia? I beg to differ, sir. If you ask me nicely, I'll plant seeds, first time it blooms. You've been around enough to KNOW not to miss swaps, as something cool you've always wanted can just show up!

:( My bad. I forgot to follow up on that. Yeah, I know, but I also know I would have come back home with a zillions of plants I don't need. Oh, well!

Omar

to all the wonderful "plant people", my first time there ,and of course I was late , but it was a wonderful 10 min...Thanks for the pics, maybe I can put faces to the people.. I did come home with a tree, kinda bushey,do not remember the name of the tree or person, or anything about it but its makin me happy does anyone know what it is??? I live in an apt right now and their already unhappy w/ me my patio is covered . I have to take my plants to daughters, Taking the chance on not getting 'em back ....Just saying my sister {Mary from Odessa] & I so enjoyed the new experience, will for sure be back......molly -sewnmom

sister just called has a new lady to come in Sept ..

Molly, could you put a picture of the tree here and we can ID it for you ? Yes, please do come back. Over the years we seem to have gotten all the swapping down to a short period of time and those who come a little late miss out on so much. Our swaps used to be longer when we shared lunch and prizes.

It was good seeing you all. Thank you for the wonderful plants. Hmmm..... Patty, How come I missed to be in your pictures.... May be next time.

dstartz: I missed your malabar spinach. If we can meet some where, please send me a message.

gardenlover, me too, I really wanted that Malabar...or mail is ok if plants can survive trip...molly ps. found name of tree{?} a jasmine thanks tho...mp

Looks like everyone had a great time. I wish I could have gone. Matt, whereabouts in Dallas are you located? I'm in Mesquite. Maybe we could trade sometime.

Hi Darlene- my place in Dallas is located in North Oakcliff. I live in San Marcos full time and I'm in Dallas occasionally. I'd be glad to meet up w/ you sometime when I'm there. My yard, er property in Dallas is stuffed full of plants.

Matt, let me know the next time you are in town and maybe we can get together and trade.

Not that it matters, but wanted to correct the fact that Tally comes from Galveston, not Beaumont. don't know why I typed Beaumont.

Anyone, can someone tell me who had the grass that looked like big hair.. Thanks so much....molly

Going through the lists above it looks like Lisa (SouthofSA) brought Mexican feather grass, if that's what you mean, Molly.

It does kind of look like big Texas hair, doesn't it Molly? lol. If anyone ever wants some, I have plenty.

Lisa

Happy to say mine is still alive probably just jinxed myself lol

Awesome Shell! I was just looking at mine this weekend and wondering if yours had survived. When it gets super hot, it'll get mostly brown, but that's when it sends out seeds for the next go round. After that, you'll always have some.

Lisa

southofsa, well if you have plenty, will you share ....again? I just loved the look but mine looks dead. I don't mind coming to get it, if ya'll share..molly

Sure, happy to. I'm out of town for a week, but will be back by next weekend. Email me at pinkyandbrutus at gmail dot com and we can figure out when.

Lisa
