| I am mostly dome trading for the year, but I do have a few named semps left to trade, preferably for other named semps, but I may be interested in a few others from my list. Have S arachnoideum 'Cobweb', a small semp that I bought as 'Small Green', and Jovibarba arenaria 'Red & Green'. I'm interested in large semps, or bright colors and patterns. Don't care for most Jovibarba. |

| These are still available, and the ground is still workable here if there are any semp traders out there. |

Patrick, I vote that we get a Spring Nationwide Semp Swap going. I know there must be at least a dozen semp collectors out there who would join us!
This method worked just beautifully for a bulb swap I participated in:
Everyone involved sent a $2.00 postage box full to the same person along with $2.00 for postage, then she sorted all the boxes and mailed all of us a box of our most wanted bulbs + extras in return.
Let's do something like this with semps?
I'd be willing to co-ordinate the dividing up & tending of cultivars and mailing the swaps back according to wish lists, just for something to do after work and the chance of a chick or two falling out (just kidding!), I mean just for the chance of a precious new semp trade landing here! |

| Mareas, the Semp Swap sounds like a great idea. I'm in. I like the central distribution format also. Prevents anyone from getting stiffed. Since you're volunteering to organize it, you get to make the rules on how it works. I agree that branching out to allow additional types of plants may be a slippery slope to be careful of. Personally, I'm mainly interested in semps (for this swap), but a sedum or two couldn't hurt either, as long as the original intent of swappping semps is maintained. How can I help? |

| No one else interested in a spring semp swap? (Say that three time fast!) |

| Spring Semp Swap! My plants are all awake and growing purple and red and watercolored - it is getting time! |

| Mine aren't quite awake and growing yet, but the snow has finally left, and they're accessable enough to start trading. When do we start? |
