I'm editing the garden and have a lot of plants that didn't make the grade. I have to miss the Green Elephant, so I'm looking for October trades. :)

I have:
Hosta 'Strip Tease' x3
Kniphofia, three types (not sure of the names)
Ajuga 'Chocolate Chip' x2
Ajuga 'Caitlin's Giant' x2
Phygelius 'Devil's Tears' x3
Sedum 'Postman's Pride' x5
Penstemon 'Blackbird' x3
Perovskia 'Longin' x3
Nepeta 'Walkers Low' x5
Nepeta 'Six Hills Giant' x3
Asarum caudatum divisions - native wild ginger
Philadelphus lewisii x2, large plants - native mock orange

Looking for:
Hellebores
Trillium ovatum
Native penstemons
Penstemon 'Margarita BOP'
Achlys triphylla - native vanilla leaf
Lonicera ciliosa - native honeysuckle
Camelia sassanquah or hybrid - winter blooming
Tricyrtis hirta
Heaths or heathers (Except for the common Mediterranean Pink)
Saxifrage (but not London Pride, more the silver-encrusted ones)
Other native perennials or groundcovers
Sword ferns, deer ferns, maidenhair ferns

Thanks!

Dear Thane,

Can you give me a call? I have an idea I'd like to discuss with you.

Thanks, Jim Eichner 425-223-7249 cell

Hi Thane,
where would you like to do the trade? I would like some
Philadelphus lewisii, Blackbird and devil's tears. Would you like some creeping jenny and strawberry?

Thane,

I have some Penstemmon serratus for you. Ferns, Highbush cranberry, birch. You can come dig this winter.

I'd like you to save the hosta 'Strip Tease' and one of the penstemmon 'Blackbird' for me.

Thanks,

Jim

Thane,

I also have various cultivars of red-twig dogwood.

purplelotus, upon examining my mock oranges, I think they're all big enough that I'd have to bag and ball them, and that might be too much effort. I might just transplant them to the neighborhood island.

Are the strawberries the native kind? If so I'd give a phygelius and a penstemon 'blackbird' for some.

I'm also going to be giving several of my plants to Jim to bring to the exchange. Thanks Jim!

I'm also looking for Rudbeckia 'Goldsturm', which I'm guessing won't be too hard to find...

Hi Thane. I would love some Asarum and Phygelius if you can find something on my list. I do have a Saxifrage, a sawtooth hairy leaf but no id on it. Michele
