HAVE: Tropicals to Trade

Hi,
I have a nice 'Clear Skies' Passionflower vine potted up, blooming size, to trade in the London area. Also for trade are a 30" tall Fuchsia paniculata (a shrubby fuchsia with panicles of flowers somewhat like a lilac, in bright pink), a 40" tall yellow flowering Abutilon (flowering maple), and some smaller things like a tropical smokebush (it's really a tropical Euphorbia but the foliage looks just like a red-leaved smokebush), and variegated Plectranthus. I don't have much room to overwinter tropicals at my home, so I'm hoping someone else would like to have them. They all do well in shade except the tropical smokebush.
Interested in berry plants, vegetable seeds,hardy shade perennials, bulbs, seeds of weird plants.

Hi Barb,

I have raspberry and cultivated blackberry for trade they are about 2' tall and would need to be dug up.
Also Hosta "Honey Bells".
If interested in a trade simply post a reply, I'm Cambridge way.
Sincerely,
Susan

Hi Susan,
yes, I'm interested in a trade for raspberry and blackberry plants - which tropicals are you interested in?

Hi Barb,
Great! These berry plants need a good home....
My mum's garden is a bit overrun, and my dad used to
take care of them. Both berry "groves" :) have born
fruit this year and are well seasoned.

Let me know how many of each and size (range from 1-1/2'
to 4'. I'll pot some up this weekend and let them rest
for a week.
I'm mainly interested in the fuschia and the euphorbia.
Also I think I might have white ditura seeds if you'd
like some.

Sincerely,
Susan

Maybe two of each? Fairly large size?

Did you want to come to London, me to come to Cambridge, or to meet somewhere halfway?

Also, I forgot to mention there are "normal" fuchsias that will need a home too, if you're interested.

I think I'll pass on the datura seeds, since I have a lot of shade and what sun I have will be reserved for berry plants....

If you would like to send me an email to work out the logistics of the trade, just go to my member page and send one through that.

Talk to you later,
Barb

Hi Barb,

Okay no problem, two of each, large, is the plan.
I'll email you on logistics tomorrow.
Ok on Datura.
Do you like Anemones, they like filtered
light, I have a small pot (possibly Queen Charlotte)
not certain (pink blooms) will get quite large.
Yes on the other Fuchsias that would be wonderful really.

Back to you tomorrow.
Sincerely,
Susan
