I dug up some double orange daylilies to bring. And I have something creepy that I don't know the name of, from around an old house. I should have a picture of its pink/lavender blooms, somewhere. I could also bring a bulb or two of a triple-headed, yellow daffodil. It's also naturalized.

Whaddya mean "more fun"??? We did have a lighter than usual turn-out, (at least partly due to the fact that we couldn't get the pavilion until very late in the season), but it was a great swap! Debbie & Donna brought boucoups (that's pronounced "buckets", right?) of plants & helpers, & as always when Casper attends, we all learned a lot; Latin names, plant lore, & even some poignant wisdom ("When it's all over, it doesn't matter who bought the last beer.") Darlene couldn't stay, but she made a drive-through stop & we were glad to see her, & I totally forgot to get the names (bear with me, younger people!) of the couple who brought so many things & who were so excited about roses. It was good to see the familiar faces, the faces we hadn't seen for a while, & of course some new ones. As another member said earlier, these swaps are like family reunions that you have twice a year! looking forward to the fall "reunion"!

Two days in and I'm slowly killing PK's Texas Columbine and I don't know how to make it better. It is losing it's pretty flowers and some of the leaves look like they are dry and crispy. It got rain on Saturday and sun on Sunday and then I noticed it was dropping it's flowers. So I moved it to the shade. It seems like the leaves look dry, even though the soil is moist (but not soaked). and I watered it a bit more yesterday, so the soil feels damp but not soaked. Could it be it doesn't like the wind? I really love it and want to save it. Any tips would be appreciated.

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
