Woohoo, my second Green Elephant! Thanks for organizing these, Jim. I loved the first one.

Now how do I edit the trade list in my profile? I haven't been able to figure that out, despite being normally considered internet-savvy!

Thane go to the main forum page (or any main page) and there will be a link near the bottom for the "member services page". Then click "Edit Your Exchange Lists".

I'll be there Jim. Ready for a new brugmansia? :)
- Tom

Or two new brugmansias?! lol

I wonder if there may be some brugmansias for a newbie??

Sharon

Hi Sharon...you have GW email!

There probably will be cuttings offered to newbies. There may even be a brief presentation to introduce newbies to the wonders of brugmansias. Details are being worked on now.

Patrick

We'll get you one for sure Daisy. :)
- Tom

Help!! I do not know where or how to find my GW mail!!! Talk about Green!

Hi Sharon,
GW forwards emails to you that we send while in the forum. You should have received a regular email from me, just routed to you via GW. Didn't receive anything?

Patrick

No, I did not get anything.

Sharon

I believe GW's email feature might be broken. I know many people have been having trouble with it.

OK thanks, I thought it was just me! I hope it will be up and running soon.

Sharon, my comcast.net email addrs is patricklee888 if you'd like to email me...then I can return an email to you. You excluded your email address from you GW profile, so the only way I can reach you is by using their (inoperative?) email forwarding system.

There are several brugmansia (Angel's Trumpets) enthusiasts in the Puget Sound area. Some of us will meet at the Green Elephant swap to exchange cuttings.

If there is advance indication that people are interested in learning a little more about these wonderfully addictive plants, with their exotic beauty and amazing fragrance, a brief introductory talk and propagation demonstration will be offered about 11:15AM.

Learn about where these plants come from, how they're grown in our area (greenhouse NOT required!), their growing requirements, how they're propagated, brugmansia forums and society web sites, brugmansia nurseries, etc.

Do you already grow brugmansias? This is a great opportunity to meet friendly fellow enthusiasts. Connections made here may well lead to new friends and/or future trades! This is a very informal get-together...come join us.

IMPORTANT:
If you are interested in hearing a brief talk, as mentioned above, please email me. We will put together this talk only if enough visitors reply about wanting to attend.

Patrick,
This sounds great! Count me in, and I will email you also!
Thanks, Sharon

Count me in, too. I would email you, but comcast thinks my email address is from a spammer and generally bounces it back. (I'm NOT a spammer, incidently. It's entirely aggravating.) But put me down for a 'yes' vote!

Pixydish...I did receive your email. But if anyone is unable to reach me that way, I have created a new thread entirely about brugs and this get-together...you can respond to me in THAT thread.

Patrick

My kids' soccer games end at 10:30AM, so I will do everything I can to make it there by 11. I'm a newbie in the area. Moved up 2 years ago. Bought a house with a big yard. Just starting to get the landscaping going. Looking for plants. Have some to share like Japanese maple treelets (1-2 year old baby trees), hostas, and others that I don't know the names for. :-) Looking forward to meeting everyone.

I will be at the exchange for the first time and I got my first brug from FireVicar last week. I'm thrilled as these are totally new to me (where have I been?). Patrick, I would love to learn more.
