Thanks for keeping the suggestions rolling, folks! I really shouldn't have said "ivy". The thing I'm wanting to plant isn't really such a thing. It's a creeping ground thing but it's not ivy. I'll let you know when I can get by Bachman's and identify it (or ask the neighbor). We don't mind a bit of work like thinning and culling, we're just trying to avoid things that are finicky and require you to do certain things at specific times every year (like you need to mulch this week, then pull the mulch off, then put in this kind of fertilizer, then water it this much, but not more, etc. etc.) Sedums love it here, in general. That sounds like a great document, duluthinbloomz4. Do you have a URL or if not, the title of it? I could probably track it down. People sometimes park along the street, but almost never in front of our house and pretty much never in front of our mailbox (where this bed is surrounding). Also, we have strong curbs so other than the slightly overhanging creeper I mentioned, it won't be in the street. I expect the mailman will probably clip it every once in a while but that's okay, cause he's a nice guy. :) BTW, I was just up north a couple of weeks ago. Man, those lupine were beautiful!

At this time I would like to put this bulbil giveaway to bed. If envelopes are in transit I will honor your request. I assume that any envelope in transit from this time should arrive in my mailbox within the next two days. If anyone has not yet mailed me, PLEASE don't rush to the P.O. tomorrow morning. I want to thank you all for the opportunity to share. I joined GW after noticing that most of my Google searches about plants led me to this website. In my first year as a "newbie" I was rewarded with a tremendous quantity and variety of seeds from the Round Robbin Seed Swap Forum. I wish I could direct you all to a website with info on the perfect manner to propagate these bulbils. Last year I found a couple of links to the particular Turk's Cap Lily you have been mailed. I can't seem to find the information now. I believe this plant is a hybrid. We have Turk's Caps that grow wild here in Massachusetts. By comparison the plant you are getting is much taller and features much larger blooms. From what I have seen in my yard this plant does best in full sun. If I were going to sow the bulbils I would loosen the soil one or two inches and plant them in a fairly tight circular pattern. Not sure, but I think it may take two seasons to see a bloom. Peace, Out.

I have several gardens at my farm far from the camper and garden shed. I look for old mail boxes to mount in the gardens and use to store hand tools, gloves, a pen, note book, and mosquito repellent. I have two in gardens currently and am always looking for one or two more. It sure does save trips to the shed for small tools. My husband even put a little love letter in one of them for me last year!!!

Funny you should mention that, Wanda...when I got my cutting from Tracy at Seminole Springs, that is exactly what she did. I remember doing that, too, and also with petunias. Of course, as a kid, I tried all sorts of stuff like that...my aunt had to stop me from putting chinaberries in my salad once. Probably would have killed me! It's a wonder I survived childhood at all! Marilyn, I'm sure many of your cuttings will find good homes. In the older parts of town, Turk's caps are still seen forming long, tall hedges and beautiful accent plants. There's a reason they are still here after so many years. They LOVE Florida, unlike so many landscape plants sold today. Marcia
