Beverly~ I would like some horse mint, I have another native mint would you like some?
Kat

Kat- It was nice to see you at the Mounts sale yesterday. Yes I'd love some native mint and & I'll pot up some horsemint for you. Thanks for the info on the buntings.

Beverly

Ginny, that isn't the one I was thinking of. The one I was wondering about looks just like a regular spider plant with white edges, only it gets both taller and wider and instead of the babies coming out the side, it has grayish colored 'flowers' going straight up.
Darn I missed the Mounts sale. I didn't realize that it was last weekend, bummer. I really need more plants, ha ha.
Nancy

Nancy - Is it the one wanna run faster suggested - Dianella tasmanica 'Variegata' - flax lily? If so, I have that too and can bring some.

Who wanted the salmon mussaenda? I'm trying to root a couple and so far they are looking good. I can't remember who was looking for one.

Ginny

Beverly~ It was good seeing you too, I spent wayyyy too much money!
I reviewed your list again and noticed you have inkberry. I would love one if you still have one available. I am thinking I need to have everyone over to get cuttings. I will bring you the native mint, do you want any spiderwart?
Kat

Thanks Ginny, I appreciate it.
Nancy

Kat- I'll clip an Inkberry cutting for you. Its blooming now. I'd love some Spiderwort. Thanks.

Beverly

Kat- Its the Snowberry that is in bloom. The Inkberry isn't in bloom yet.

Hey guys I've learned to upload photos

Here is a link that might be useful: Bev's Garden

Nancy - I'll bring the flax lily for you.

Bev - did you have an extra Snowberry cutting? Would you like a 'fruit cocktail' shrimp plant,purple Lousiana iris, or tall red canna? Your garden looks very butterfly friendly.

Ginny

Luv the pix! Do you have a passiflora incarnata still? Mine accidentally got removed.
Thanks!
Kat

Kat- Thanks. I have tons! I'll bring you some.

Beverly

I have a very small but well rooted plant called White Gloxinia , Sinningia tubiflora.

Would aybody be interested in giving this a try ?

I saw a hummer on the 7 th. I useally don`t see them till the first week in October.

Nice , but a little strange.

D'Ann~ I would like the white gloxinia
Kat

its yours..... :)

Ginny, it was me who was asking about the salmon musseanda. I would love a cutting if you have one.

I'm going to put together a list of what I'm bringing and whatever else I find / see lying around. I can bring fresh cuttings of kiss & tell hibiscus, snow queen & fire & ice hibiscus if anyone's interested. I have a couple of small rooted hoyas, ones a lacuonsa (sp) blooms throughout the year, wonderful vanilla - almondy scent (to me)...makes a nice house plant, also have loads of hoya australis cuttings (an aggressive grower), and a rooted green sport of Hoya KQ with peducles (currently has large pretty purple flower, little if any scent)

Anyone have a hedychium with orange or orangy-red flowers?

Helen

I have an abundance of magazines, Florida Gardening, Garden Gate, Birds and Blooms etc... I will bring them if anyone is interested in them.
Kat

Helen,
I have this Hedychium, if you want some of it, we can dig up when you are here. Not sure if it qualifies as orange or not.

Cherie

WRF - I have your name on the mussaenda. I would like a cutting of kiss and tell hibiscus if you still have one.

I have hibiscus 'high voltage' if you or anyone wants cuttings. Does anyone want water lettuce for their pond or water garden? I'm having to clear some of mine out and I'll bring to swap if anyone wants, but will have to be cleaned out tomorrow if no one answers.

Cherie, if you have enough to spare I would love a piece of your hedychium ginger. I have a peach colored one, but can't find a picture and all my names got destroyed. I'll go see if it's blooming now.

Ginny

Ginny,
I have plenty of it, may be able to dig up and pot tomorrow, if not definitely while you are here.

I would like some of your water lettuce, but not a whole lot, my "pond" is just a sunken tub so not much room.

Cherie

Thanks Cherie and I'll bring some water lettuce. I have just a small pond and a tub. It does multiply fast, but really helps keep the water clear.

Kat,
Please bring the magazines. I am going to set up a table of "free garden stuff". I have some stuff to put out, extra nursery pots, seeds, etc. Everyone who has stuff they are not using and just want to get rid of can bring them to add to the table.

I'm also going to have some door prizes for a drawing.

Cherie, if you don't mind, my 88 year old neighbor, Iris would like to join us. She is alot of fun and enjoyed the swap in Vero at Tanya and Jim's. Iris would be happy to bring a case of bottled water or whatever else is needed, as she doesn't cook much these days. We will be traveling with Wanda.

Oh Cherie, that is beautiful! I would love a piece. Can I offer you a pink and a red Etlingera start? I had white too but I don't seem to be able to find it lol

Ginny, the kiss & tell is yours, I have plenty if anyone else is interested

I'm going to dig up and wash the heliconias and the gingers I'm bringing and bring them along in a bucket if that's ok with everyone. It will just be so much easier than trying to pot them up and deal with the dirt in the car.

Ms. Marion, I would love for Iris to join us. I really don't mind if she does not bring a thing, but if she is the type to insist, bottled water is great. My Gram may be here as well, they would probably hit it off. Not sure yet, Gram says "we'll see". I'll have some of Gram's Bread and Butter pickles and Apple Butter here if any one is interested.

Helen (wana run faster) I have plenty of the Hedychium, and would love a red Etlingera, no issues with not potting. I am going to do the same with the larger Heliconias. Both Gingers and Heliconias are perfectly fine with doing them that way, I have ordered just the rhizomes on the internet before and they have always been fine.

One of the door prizes is a 3 gallon pot of Ground Orchid, Spathoglottis, covered in blooms, I just picked up at a local nursery today. I'll post a picture later.

Cherie~ Great minds think alike! I was thinking about bringing some garden items anyway!
I love it!
Kat

Helen, I am bringing you some LA iris, I would like the pink and the red etlingera both, so what else can I bring you. ;o)

Put me down for a jar of Gram's bread and butter pickles, please. mmmmmgood!

Sure thing Coffeemom!

Here is the Ground Orchid:

Helen, I found a rooted red plumeria, would you want that and the LA iris for the pink and red etlingera ginger?

I want to add to my 'have' list: I cleaned off the deck this weekend and these need to find a nice home:
I have two rooted (and blooming) 16 Candles Floribunda Rose. this is my favorite of my over 50 roses, it is a gorgeous apricot, heavy bloomer.
I also have a rooted (and close to blooming) Mary Magdeline David Austin Rose and may be my second favorite rose, peachy-cream color and licorice scent, blooms her head off. Here is a bouquet I picked yesterday, Mary is the lighter colored one.
{{gwi:302099}}
A rooted Renae, climber, pink, thornless. This is an old rose, pretty little sweetheart clusters, no fuss but blooms frequently and the vine mixes easily with other vines.
A native porterweed, coral, tall, 6'. I'll cut it back for transportation.
Nancy

I can smell the roses from here.
I potted up the Nora grant. She was pissed. Let's see how she does.

I can bring black magic EE from my pond and maybe a snowflake or 2.

I also have day blooming jasmine coming up. (I don't remember planting it there)smell is not as strong as nite blooming and smells like white chocolate.

Shellfreak (Beverly) I goofed up bad I promised you a Jacaranda but overnight it turned into an Ear Pod tree. I have put some seeds to germinate so I will bring you both. Duh stupid

Katie

Katie:

No worries. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone.

Beverly

Hi Everone,

I have a few more things to list and a few requests lol
Cliff - I have 3 varities of Agave do you want them all

Butterfly - do you still have the Spiralis would love that

WRF - I have to stop looking at what you have keep finding more like the Hoya and if you have any more of the Etlingere those are beautiful please check my list below to see if you want anything

Surinam cherry
Mexican sage
Varigated Clerodendrom shooting star
Wild coffee
cutting of Joe Hayden begonia

I will also bring some other odds and ends

Katie

Almost forgot does anyone have any Caladiums or Lotus? also I can get a few cuttings of climbing Frangipani.

Katie

I'd love to try to root the climbing frangipani, if you can get me a cutting. :o)

Would anyone like Costus spiciosus - white crepe ginger rhizomes? If anyone wants I'll dig and bring to the swap.

Katie - would love a cutting of the frangipani vine. Have been trying for 2 years to get that one. Would you like a rooted Strophanthus gratus - climbing oleander?

Ginny

I still have a rooted varigated Costus speciosus up for grabs (one of my favorite plants). I have one more of the Orangy hedychium, two of the white butterfly ginger, and a lot of other stuff that no one asked for, they will just be up for grabs. It's easy for me, since it's at my house, won't have to take home anything that no one wants.

There are also going to be a few new people there that don't have much to trade, so if you have stuff that no one has asked for and you are debating about bringing, you may want to bring them along if you have room. I know of several people that are coming, who have not posted trade lists or arranged any swaps in advance.

Katie- The climbing Frangipani vine would be nice if you have extra. I'm going to go around and cut some fresh things Sunday morning that aren't one my list. Can't wait :)

I am hoping to attend the swap tomorrow.
I can bring seedlings from:
foxtail palm
callyphylum tree
jatropha (just a few)

I would love a cutting from:
plumeria pundica (bridal bouquet)
dichorisanda thrisflorinada (false blue ginger)

Thanks Kevin

Kevin,
Would be happy to have you but the swap is on SUNDAY, the 27th. Did you send an e-mail to my home address for directions: cherieblick@bellsouth.net.

You can have cuttings from my Plumeria Pudica unless someone has some already potted up.

Cherie

Katie, I could use about 5 green wave ferns if you still have them sitting around.

Katie,
I would love some Varigated Clerodendrom shooting star> I have lots of stuff you might want, that I have not posted, other Heliconias, Gingers, etc.

Cherie

Happy Friday 2 days to wait :)

katkin - Franginpani for you

Ginny - ditto above for you

Shelfreak - dare I repeat myself lol

Coffeemom - 5 ferns for you

Cherie - Varigated Clero. for you

Hi kevin - I have a Pudica for you what is the callyphylum tree goggled but nothing came up?

and please don't be offended by the little k's that key isn't working so I'am pasting it and only did a small k LOL

atie (oops)

Katie~ I will bring you a Spiralis .
Kat

Well, it's really not last minute, but I wanted to post in time for everyone to get a chance to see it:

Please watch for the SR 706/Indiantown Road exit, it can be a little confusing, for example if you are coming from the south on 95, the west bound exit for Indiantown Road says to "Okeechobee". If you are coming from the south on 95, it is the exit after Donald Ross Road. On the turnpike, it might say Jupiter/Indiantown or even Okeechobee/Indiantown.

Parking: I have a big circle drive, both gates will be open. You can pull through the circle drive and drop off plants before parking. I will have a wheelbarrow, boxes, a garden cart and we will You are welcome to park around the circle drive, just pull off on the right side, there are no sprinklers to worry about, just don't block the circle so others can pull through to drop off stuff. You can also park along the street.

Justin, from Hammock Tropical Garden will be joining us for lunch. It is the local nursery I suggested we can take a side trip to afterwards, for anyone who is interested. It is on the way back out of Jupiter Farms. He is a wealth of information on all kinds of tropical plants and specializes in shady plants.

Also forgot to mention, the swap is going to be around the pool, anyone who wants to can take a dip to cool off, so if you think you might, come prepared. I do have plenty of pool towels.

Try and label the plants you are swapping, I will have extra labels here if you don't get a chance to label them in advance.

Cherie

I have to apologize to everyone, I won't be able to make it tomorrow after all.
I will keep all the things marked that I've promised to everyone and will try to plan a get together at my house soon!

Have fun tomorrow!

Helen

Zoo-Katie, sorry for the incorrect spelling. The tree is Calophyllum brasiliense -- Brazilian beautyleaf. It makes a nice dooryard tree and is rather salt tolerant. Kevin

Ginny or Cherie, I'd love to try some of the Costus spiciosus, variegated or not. Thanks
Nancy

Nancy, you can have the varigated one I have, it's a nice size, I'll put your name on it.

Cherie

See everyone tomorrow!
