HAVE: Sept. 27, Jupiter Farms Plant Swap,

cdbinfl
14 years ago

I am planning a Plant Swap at my house in Jupiter Farms, Sunday, Sept. 27. I don't have fantastic gardens to look at and wander through, but I do have a good size back patio area for the swap and plenty of room to park. We will have a lunch and possibly a field trip afterward to Hammock Tropical Garden, a local nurseryman here in Jupiter Farms

I have not posted much lately, but have been to several of Ricky's swaps and have met quite a few of you in the past. I have been wanting to host a swap for the past several years and since Ricky is not planning one this Fall, I thought it would be a good time to have one.

Please post if you have any interest and we can start planning swap lists, food lists, etc.

    Hi Cliff
    The Blue butterfly and agave are all yours

    Doesn't anyone want some rooted cuttings of plumerias or beginner hoya?
    I also have one tiny rooted blue weeping Ginger. î

  • wanna_run_faster

    Ok my heliconia lovers, I found a partial map. I think i' ve identified giant lobster claw, caribean sunset I , wagernia sp?, dorado gold, and tropica. Tropica is the only one that has bloomed for me. Caribean and tropica seem the most vigorious.

    Cliff. I killed off my alpinia, would you happen to have a piece for me, either color?

  • ginibee

    WRF - You have a great list of Heliconias. Whatever you can spare that would work in z9b I would love as I have none of those and that happens to be my new 'must have' plant. I've got a few plants set aside for you. Anything else I might bring you. I can try a cutting of dwarf ylang ylang, but haven't tried to root one yet. I also have a light pink crinum that gets 2-3 feet tall I just dug up, so it would be a big bulb.

    Wanna Run - what is the blue weeping ginger sounds beautiful. And I love Heliconias what can I bring you?

    Cliff - ever tried to Bonsai the Poincianas I'll try your seedlings

    Katie

    Helen, how about a piece of dorado gold for the La irises? ;o)

  • shellfreak
    14 years ago

    Does anyone want me to start some tomatoes for them? I have Roma, Cherry and Brandywine.

    WRF- If you have any extra lobster claw I'd love one.

    I'm gonna go through the yard this weekend and update my list.

    Cliff, I have 3 colors of crape murtle for you if you make it. I just hope they make the potting up.

  • tropicalfreak
    14 years ago

    Thanks Katie! FUnny on the Bonsai thing as I was thinking the same...have you tried this? I will put you down for.

    Helen, Yes, I have some more alpinia I can bring for you.

    StuartWanda, If you like you can wait til the day before or day of and dig up and put into some water? And then I can deal with the potting up when I bring home?? Thanks by the way.

    Has anyone heard from Coffeemom? Is she ok?

    Cliff

  • coffeemom
    14 years ago

    I'm here but exhausted. It's been a rough 2 weeks. I can't tell you enough how much your encouraging words meant to me. Garden buddies are the best! I'll post more on Conversations so you can get back to swappin'!
    Bless you guys.

    Thanks Ginny! I will bring you a couple butterfly plants.

    I also have a Thunbergia grandiflora (sky flower), gorgeous blue flowers, but a large vine, I don't have room for. Anyone interested?

    Has a food list been started?
    Nancy

  • cdbinfl

    No, we haven't started an official food list. We will barbeque or smoke something, burgers or pulled pork and chicken. I'll take care of buns, paper goods, plastic ware, etc. We can start a list of side dishes.

    Also, if you want to send me an e-mail, I will start sending out directions. My e-mail address is: cherieblick@bellsouth.net. Make sure you identify your self by your Gardenweb name if it is not obvious, so I will know who I have sent directions to and who still needs them.

    Cherie

  • teka2rjleffel
    14 years ago

    Ginny I have a few spots that I could fill in with spider plants if the offer is still open. Thanks

    Also I am planning to bring a romaine salad with roasted peppers, roasted walnuts and gorgonzola cheese.

    Nancy

  • butterflygardener
    14 years ago

    Nancy, I have a few extra spider plants. Yum! your salad sounds de-lish!
    Here are a few more plants I can bring
    water hyssop-baccopa
    native Fl mint
    native salvia (red) I also have pink, white and coral nymph
    fire bush
    firespike lots of red, some pink and some purple
    Juncus effusus 'Spiralis' this was very popular at Ricky's
    swap
    Red-Leaf Hibiscus aka False Roselle
    lots of different coleus!!!
    a few dendrobium - purple
    deep pink crinum lilies
    bromeliad deep wine with green spots and pink tips

    I am sure I have more plants I will bring

    looking for white den superbum
    Kat

  • ginibee
    14 years ago

    Nancy - I'll bring spider plants

    Kat - I have a pretty white dendrobium, but it's not superbum. I had to google that one - Wow!!

    Cherie - I'll bring potato salad if no one else has listed it.

    Ginny

  • cdbinfl
    Original Author
    14 years ago

    Nancy, your salad sounds great and so does Ginny's potato salad.

    I'll send out directions to those that have e-mailed as soon as I put something together.

    Katie, The Alocasia Sarian went kaput. It was doing so well until I divided it and I must have potted in soil that did not drain enough, and they all rotted. Can I offer you something else, like Colocasia Nancy's Revenge or Alocasia Plumbea Nigra?

    I also gave one to Katkin and I am sure it did not make it either, so I will come up with something else for her as well. I know her computer is down right now.

    I'm looking forward to the swap and have been busy getting ready!
    Cherie

  • wanna_run_faster

    Cherie, I can bring dessert or a pasta salad, or whatever. î.

    Kat, I would love one of your criniums and one of your broms. I can bring you a brom or two. I also have one or two starts of hedychium flavuum...the scent is awesome and the butterflies seem to like it too. Anyone want some crepe Ginger or what I think is Indian head Ginger?

    What is that pretty salomony-pink shrub or small tree that is blooming right now? I thought maybe it was a mussandra ( sp?) but on gardinos website it says that's a winter bloomer. Anyway, if anyone has a small start you can spare t would love it.

  • katkin_gw
    14 years ago

    Just wanted to say I am up and running again thanks to DH.

    Cherie, so far everything I got from you is doing fine. I planted them all out in the garden. Thankfully we had a wonderful rain last night finally.

  • butterflygardener
    14 years ago

    Helen you got it! How agressive is the hedychium flavuum?
    Kat

  • katkin_gw
    14 years ago

    Cherie, I spoke too soon, I just went out and looked at the sarian and it only has one sad leave left. Does it go down for the winter? If they do they sometimes will go early if transplanted.

  • wanna_run_faster
    14 years ago

    Kat, it s not aggressive at all and it stays upright, where you put it and at around three feet tall in afternoon sun. It blooms repeatedly and the scent is unbelieveable. You can even plant it at the middle or back of a border bed.

    Thanks!
    Helen

  • ginibee
    14 years ago

    WRF - do you have an extra on the H. flav. I had it once and loved it, but it hasn't bloomed anywhere in the last couple of years, so I guess I lost it somehow.

    Does anyone have the variegated A. gamosepala (matchstick bromeliad) to swap? I have several bromeliads I could send pictures of if I don't know the names. Also have some other variegated plants if interested.

    Ginny

  • ginibee
    14 years ago

    WRF - forgot to mention, I will try to start you the salmon Mussaenda, but I can't promise success.

    Ginny

    Helen, a dessert would be nice as we don't have anyone bringing one yet.

  • katieauthier
    14 years ago

    Hi everyone have a massive virus on our computer at work where I do most of my work sooo

    Cherie - anything would make me happy either one is beautiful

    Butterflygardener - ooh you have several things I would love the Broms and for our butterfly garden at the zoo the native mint and salvia what do you need ?

    For food I can bring either the taco salad I brought to Rickys or a sweet an sour mini barbacued rib (my kids love these)

    Katie

  • shellfreak
    14 years ago

    Cherie- What time does the swap start? I can either bring a tropical fruit salad or garden-themed cookies. Let me know.

    Beverly

  • butterflygardener
    14 years ago

    Katie~ That Sweet shrub sounds interesting, is it still available? I will bring you the plants you requested. You should really come by sometime and get cuttings.
    Kat

  • teka2rjleffel
    14 years ago

    Ginny, thanks for the spider plants.
    Kat, how tall is the native mint? Also what light do the crinum lilies like?
    Thanks
    Nancy

  • butterflygardener
    14 years ago

    Nancy the mint is 4-6 inches tall, and the crinums have been in part shade. They can grow in full sun as well.
    Kat

  • cdbinfl
    Original Author
    14 years ago

    Katie and Beverly, either one sounds fine, I'll leave it up to you.

    Why don't we set our start time for 9:30? I'm sure not everyone will arrive at the same time, which is also fine. We can do our swaps and chat, have lunch and then possibly make a side trip to a local grower who lives nearby. How does that sound to everyone?

  • shellfreak
    14 years ago

    Cherie:

    9:30 sounds good. My nephew is coming home from Iraq and we are having a family get together later in the day. It will be a busy day :)

    Ginny , I marked off one of the fudge ripples for you...... it would be great to get xantho lime zinger.

    zookatie , both of the neos are yours. I don`t have the cordyline luchia and bolero.. would love them !

    If any of the plants I have asked for have been taken just think of me next year . :)
    Lots of family stuff for me now, so I haven`t kept up with the posting

    I have notice that there's been an interest in both cordyline and copperleafs I don`t have all the name of my tee plants, but I do have a list of the copperleafs.

    I have the following KNOWN copperleaf's in my yard
    Bronze Margnata
    Musaica
    Sunrise
    Loco
    Hetrophylla

    It is too late in the year for me to start them now , but I will write your name down and start some plants for you guys in the spring.

  • coffeemom
    14 years ago

    D'ann, is 1 of those fudge ripples for me? I would also like the mosaic calathea.

    Helen, do you have an extra tuber of the heliconia I gave you? It did well for you but I killed mine. I'd like to try again.

    Nancy, my pink ixora are Nora Grant. Is that the pink you were looking for or is mine considered salmon colored.

  • jupiterplants
    14 years ago

    Kristy,

    I went through your photobucket and copy/ pasted the ones that I liked.

    You got mail :)

  • ginibee
    14 years ago

    D'ann - Thanks. I've got you down for a X. 'lime zinger'.

    Ginny

  • katkin_gw
    14 years ago

    D'Ann, any more fudge ripple? ;o)

  • butterflygardener
    14 years ago

    I have a few more items worth listing Ipomoea coccinea or scarlet morning glory. A favorite of hummingbirds and listed as a native on the IFAS publication at the link below. Warning is does reseed readily if seeds not removed. Dies back in summer. New plants pop up in Fall.

    Also I have several white containers some glazed some not. I am collecting green containers especially the old time planters. Anyone interested in the white? anyone have green?
    Kat

    Here is a link that might be useful: Ipomoea coccinea

    Thanks Ginny :)
    Kathy the last F ripple is yours.

  • katkin_gw

    I have two divisions of this white butterfly ginger potted up and available - it is very, very fragrant. Sorry, don't know the official name, got it in a swap years ago. The fragrance is fabulous.
