    Hellebores are great too! I don't have even one yet? What's wrong with me?

    I'll try to update my Have list on my profile so you can see what Hostas I have to trade.

    Thanks Natureboy77 (Jake)!

    Hellebores and Smilacina sound great!

    My Trades list on my profile now has my Hosta list.

    Let me know what you want and I'll do some digging/dividing. There may be a few I have to check on for you before I know exactly what's available, most of these are at my parents house, so I don't always have the closest eye on them.

    Hi Hostaguy,
    I can bring you a fragrant Exbury Azalea for either Big Daddy or Dream Weaver. If you have both Hosta. I can add a Hellebore but won't know the color.

    Thanks Elaine, Exbury sounds fun, what cultivar is it? Flower color?

    I'll take inventory on Dream Weaver and Big Daddy - see what if I can spare an eye.

  • elaine8_gw

    Exbury are deciduous Azaleas and it will be a yellow/gold. I actually don't have a name since we've been growing them since 1988....back then....I never kept tags or wrote down names. They are the first to bloom and then they develope the foliage after flowering. If you can't split either the Dream Weaver or Big Daddy, let me know what you would have available.
    Thanks, Elaine

    Hi Hostaguy, I have lily of the valley, sweet rocket, tall bearded iris, clematis serratifolia(lemon scented), valarian, and a variagated eldeberry with very fragrant blossums. I don't have any eldeberry rooted but I could bring cuttings. I would love to trade for your hostas. LMK if you would like to trade. Thanks! Karen

    Elaine, I did inventory tonight, I only have one solid eye of DreamWeaver (so none to spare) I could spare a piece of Thunderbolt, It's very similar to DreamWeaver.

    Now, as for big Daddy, It's may be Big Mama, they tags got mixed up. I know it's Big Something? lol Oh well, maybe Andi can identify it for us, if you still want me to bring some of Big ???? lol

    Hostaguy, Thunderbolt and the mystery mr. or mrs. Big would be great.
    Thank you for trading. Elaine

    Hey there again Hostaguy. I almost forgot about one of my "most" fragrant shrubs. I don't know the true name but I call it is a minature lilac. It smells like the big guys and only grows to a max of 4-5 feet. I can root prune you a start if your interested. Needless to say, I have found another hosta from you list.
    Perhaps you can e-mail me. Thanks, Elaine

    Hostaguy,

    I have rose "mirandy". It is supposed to be one very fragrant rose and is bright red. If you are interested I would love to trade for hosta if you have some that need dividing esp. Big Daddy, Big Mama, or Guacamole. And if you are interested, I'll have an extra Frances Williams coming from the nursery next week. It was the only one I have that isn't already on your list.

    Hello Hostaguy, I am interested in any two of these Hosta: Hosta 'Flame Stitch', 'Minuteman', 'Inniswood, 'Pizzazz' and 'Paradigm'.
    I will select out a couple Hellebores and pot up some Smilacina henryi for you.
    Is there anything else your interested in? I do have some extra Daphne mezereum (February Daphne), which in fragrant, if you want to trade more.
    Thanks, Jake

    Hosta guy would you be interested in Geranium Macrorrhizum? The flowers aren't fragrant, but the foliage sure is! Usually described as "aromatic". I believe the blooms are pink. I would be interested in trading for a peony or hebe (or probably lots of other things!). Email me! Thanks,
    Suzy
