Ragna, I will bring a bag full of the S. palmerii.I will pick it after they bloom, so they might not be totally rooted but It will grow from sticks stuck in the ground. I never bother rooting them. How about some of the fruit Caocktail shrimp plant.

Mara, thank you.

It's beautiful, but I don't grow 'Fruit Cocktail' shrimp any more. It took too much water. I prefer the yellow "Lemon sorbet" that was passed along by 'Boss Jim' which grows well in full sun with less water. Want some?

Mara, a lace cactus is yours, I'll dig it up the day before. And some rocks.

Great Lorelei!! Ragna, I have the lemon sorbet and I think it is still making up its mind if it likes me and my rough ways. How about mexican oregano. I am thinking I need another large bank of them. I have them but I have not made babies of them last year.

Mara, Mexican tarragon is what I have on my list. Also called Mexican mint marigold. Blooms yellow in the fall. Do you want some of that? I have several small divisions you can have.

"Tagetes lucida Cav. is a perennial plant native to Mexico and Central America. It is used as a medicinal plant and as a culinary herb. The leaves have a tarragon-like flavor, with hints of anise, and it has entered the nursery trade in North America as a tarragon substitute. Wikipedia"

OH , dumb sloppy me. Come to think if it the clump that I have had for 18 years has disappeared this last year. I'll take it. LOL.

I can also add to my wants any turks cap, or native plants or seeds.

Penstemon tenuis does well in bright shade .Hinkley Columbine grows un watered under my oaks. I live on a limestone hill. The painted petals (Anomatheca laxa) also grows in shade or partshade and needs no water. These are on my list. I can dig up some Blackfoot daisy. They are not on my list but I do have lots growing around.

I am interested in the firecracker plant, Turks Cap

wantonamara, thank you! if it would be be too much to ask I would love a hinkley Columbine, salvia roemeriana, and the penstemon. I will dig up a good chunk of firecracker plant ( Russelia equisetiformis) and red Turks cap.

You can ask for more if you want. I don' do watering at all.

then the Painted petals too please?

Eric, if not taken could I have the Chimonanthus praecox ? Pretty please? Thanks. Im still trying to get into my yard to make a list. Mara, I'd like a columbine pretty please do they grow in complete shade?

Does anyone know if JoAn will be coming?

I just dug up a 5 gallon winter honeysuckle.

rooted Epyphillum guatamalense f. monstrous

Mimosa aculeaticarpa var biuncifera (Catclaw Mimosa). I am adding these to the list above

Shellshock, columbine grows in bright shade. That is what I have. Maybe complete shade. Mine are under a small oak., not a tall oak so the shade is not dense. , but I think they want drainage. I I can find another small 4" pot columbine.

Ok I'm making my list in my Idea Book. Mara would love piece of the Epyphillum guatamalense f. monstrous too please &thanks.

Mara the celosia seed is actually for a hot pink. I'll bring you some. You have so many good things on your list! I would love some of the Sedum palmari, or pink Salvia. Can I interest you in a small ceramic pot? I usually make them in blues and greens but I could also do other colors.

Shellshock, I have always wanted to try tuberose! I have an assortment of baby succulents--but only rooted cuttings, some just rooted leaves. I can bring some if you are interested, or perhaps you might like a small ceramic pot? (Examples in my swap album)

Shellshock, I am interested in the society garlic

OOOH, I forgot to add the rooted cutting of Tangerine Crossvine. Adding above.

Almclur, You can have both the Salvia greggii and Sedum palmerii.

I have a Hoya with the heart shaped leaf that I can take cutting from.

Anybody interested in red / purple Perilla teeny tiny seedlings? Is has a dry and dull taste but it looks good in salads and flowerbeds. It also reseed aggressively but it’s easy to pull out. I am not going to the swap but I could send them with Ragna. Let me know.

Omar

roselee/ragna. did you want some Turks cap? I'm going to kill the bad behaving part in the next week or so, so let me know and I'll save a chunk.

Tiapoppy (what beautiful images your screen name calls up) thank you, but I have pink and red Turks cap already. If there is anything on my short little list that nobody trades for you are welcome to it.

then off with their heads!!!!! thank you for the offer Rose but I am good! I have a good 5 qrt for you Mara.i gotta get that small patch under control before I get too big!

Mara, may I have the catclaw mimosa?

I will take as much of the red Tia Poppy, turks cap as you want to let go of and no one else wants.

Larelei, yes you can have a Catclaw Mimosa.

I have this aloe with a yellow bloom if anyone wants some.

I would be interested. in the aloe

I will pot you up some Mara!

I have small seedlings of Eupathorium havanense and Viguiera dentata. I am not going to the swap but if anybody wants them I’ll take the seedlings to Ragna’s this Saturday.

Omar

I would like some , Especially the V.dentata. MY E.havanens does not seed out here. Mostly I make cuttings. . I like to put them out in the wild. I am being such a plant hog . See what gardening denial will do to you when you come off the wagon.

Hello Oscar/Vulture. if you have some extra Eupathorium havanense to spare, i would like a bit myself.

K, Mara. I can always tuck in Texas betony and Salvia roemeriana under my bushes. I’ll take several of them,if possible, and I’ll send you several seedlings of mine. Thanks!

tiapoppy, I’m going to start calling you abuelapoppy if you keep me calling “Oscar” (Jk) I’ll take one of your small aloe, if it is hardy, if it is not, I’ll take one of your moon vine. Thanks!

Omar

Omar, I got 4 crammed into a 1 gallon of the wood betony.& 1 gallon worth of extremely crowded salvia roemeriana, maybe 10 with good roots, NOT seedlings. Is that enoug?. I prefer the V dentata over the E havenense.

Yes, Mara, that will work. I’ll send you several seedlings of both plants.

Omar

Oh..lol SORRY!!! OMAR! i would say they are hardy..they have been kept outside with no cover for 3 yrs now and just clumped they stay small. You can have a moonvine as well.

Thank you, tiapoppy!

Omar

Tiapoppy i have lavender iris, would love to trade for white iris

Is this event still on or canceled due to Covid19?

We have not had this conversation yet. I am doing the footwork but wondering if it is wise BUT I think that this is a huge over reaction. On a bad flu year we have up to 80,000 flue deaths. This year we had 18,000 deaths.We are reacting this way over 69 deaths. Reason enough to imprison all the elderly in California , closing business, suspending the constitution and bill of rights. Corona killed an 83 yr old in NYC with infizema.. That was NYC first death. I am cool with going with hand sanitizer and agreeing to no hugs, or handshakes.

I am cool with whatever people decide. We are an older population, and some of us with health issues. Can you tell, that I am conflicted

I think the best option right now is to play it by ear, so to speak. It's almost a month away so who knows what might transpire in the next three weeks? I'm okay with either way. It will depend also on how the Mosque leaders feel about it, as well as any rules the city might impose.

Ragna, Can you get a hold of Luzan to keep us informed about the Mosques wishes,,

Mizan posted above so she should be receiving messages from this thread, but I've emailed her as well. I'm sure she will tell us if the mosque is suspending meet-ups of this kind as soon as she knows.

It's been advised that no more than 10 people meet as a group. Whether that applies only to indoor gatherings I don't know.

I'll get mike to ask the mosque administrator today and will try get the answer by tonight.
As of now, they have canceled their Friday prayers and school is still not back from the spring break.

Take care of your health gals and guys. Plants need you to survive.

Mizan

From Mizan:

"Mike has just got off talking to the mosque administrator concerning the plant swap gathering.

"They concluded that we should heed the latest recommendation of “less than 10 people” guide line. Therefore we should cancel it for now and postpone it till later in the fall? Or when it is declared safer? We are still welcome to use the facility as future swaps venue during safer times."

Thank you Mizan and Mike for everything you've done, and will keep doing, to facilitate the swap.

I'll post it on a new stream

April is still a long ways away. Maybe things will be improving by then. Perhaps we could keep planning for it and then adjust as the date nears?

We can certainly plan to swap but unless the city changes its gathering rules, we won't be able to meet.

im available for outdoor in person 1:1 meetups if we're trading & you'd like your plants.
