To answer your question about the leftover orphaned plants I had not thought about it. I'm up for any ideas you have. At GGG's house she always donated to her church.

?????

I have emailed the address and directions to my house to everyone that I think is coming. Please let me know if you did not receive the email. I'll be checking over the weekend but will not have access Wed - Thursday.

Have a happy Mothers Day! --Lucy

Woody - May I have some of the Becky daisies? See if there is something you want on my list.

Here's a vote for oysters!

Botanicat

Wenny,
I think I'll try a New Dawn. (I'm glad you're coming!)

Pam,
I will bring some ajuga for you.
~Natalie

Hi Pam, so glad to see you again! I got you down for the climbing rose, it's either New Dawn or Paul's himalayan musk. You can tell immediately when it blooms, the PHM is mini rose size.

Folks I also found 3 lily bubil/plant that should be blooming size next year. I have a few that's about to bloom and can let you know a pic once it does in a week or two.

Also found bunch of red bee balm, every easy to grow.

Lucy, I didn't get the address, I'll email you directly so you have mine. Thanks.

Pam - I would also like one of your Chardonnay Pearls Deutzia if one if still available. Check my list and see if there is somethings else you want or just ask and I might have something besides what's on the list.

Pam would you like some Pickerel Weed or Horsetails? I also have another bog lover called Saururus cernuus or Lizards Tail that has white botle brush flowers and grows about 2 feet tall.

If possible at this late date i would like:
Lucy- Crocosmias and a Jap Maple seedling
Botanicat- your Crinum
Pam- Crocosmia and the Agastache
Organic Gardenhag- Butterfly Bush
Farmerpickle- Oxalis

I am bringing:
Organic Gardenhag- Purple Basil
Lucy- Several Sedums, Mexican Petunias, and a large bowl of Lysimachia
Extra Mexican Petunias, Purple Basil seedlings, a small White Crape, a one gallon Mazus and Oysters
If I missed someone, or anyone wants to add anything, please let me know soon.

Brad, I would love some Lizard' s Tail! And I'll get the Crocosmia and Agastache dug up for you. We've had sick little ones over here, so my digging is a little behind schedule. hopefully we're on the mend. It's been a rough month (since early April!)

Botanicat-I have an Agastache for you. I'd like either the fairy rose or some lavender.

Thanks Natalie for the ajuga! Do I have anything I can bring for you?

I guess my Shasta Daisy Beckys are popular. I'll have at least one for everybody that wants one. They are a traditional pass-a-long plant after all.

I may be late. I'll know more as we get closer to Saturday.

to organic_gardenhag: They are yellow blackberry lilies, not Cannas. But you are welcome to them. I had yellow cannas, but they haven't shown their faces yet. Could the cold have killed the cannas? If they come up. I'll bring a couple.

to botanicat: I'll have a SD Becky. I don't see anything on the list except the snowball, and I think someone asked for it. No worries. Anyway, I may find something when I get there.

I have a list of what I think we are bringing.

Jerusalem artichoke
bee balm
blackberry
mock orange
petunias
Peggy's pinks
cone flower
flowering crabapple
ginger
crepe myrtle

Pam - I had asked for the Deutzia instead of the Agastache. If its already spoken for the agastache will be fine. I'll bring the fairy rose and the lavender.

Botanicat...I thought I had typed that I had the Deutzia for you, too, but I guess I never hit submit. It's got little roots and will need some babying. hopefully it will make it because it's a great little plant.

Organic gardenhag - if you any extra pink campanula or monflower seedling I would like one.
woody_ga - Salvia guaranitica (black and blue) is a wonderful plant, if any left I would like one.

have these down:
Pam - climbing rose
vroomp - Oxalis

Pam,
any kind of iris or daylily will be greately appreciated!
Thanks!
~Natalie

I was just checking in, allergies wiped me out yesterday and still not ontop of it. I checked back to the Spring trade discussion on the board, and found that

vroomp had the moonflower seedlings, I would really like one

do they freely reseed here ( that would really surprise me), or do you plant them special for the trade? I'll have to go over this again later, sorry, I'm scratching my face off.

Did everyone received the address for swap? I still have not received it. I see Lucy said she won't have PC access next day or two. Could someone can send me directly to farmerpickle@gmail.com ? Thanks.

forwarded to farmerpickle.

Farmerpickle - What kind of lilies do you have?

So far I am bringing the following:

Pam - Fairy rose, night blooming cereus,
& lavender

Vroomp - Crinum

Natalie - Snowball bush

I also have to bring a rooted Beaute Inconstante rose and some very small seedlings of giant red cockscomb.

Botanicat...I should bring you more than the Deutzia, because it's teeny weeny. Is there anything else on my list that you'd like?

And we'll still have that area where we can bring some extra plants that people can just have, right? I seem to have a lot of extra penstemon lately - some of which are even blooming right now (purple).

Pam - you can bring me one of the daylilies, Wineberry Candy, or some agastache.

I am so looking forward to this. I even bought some stuff to trade, since I have very little to offer.

Does anyone have any interest in any tomato plants? What I have is miscellaneous heirloom types as a result in starting too many seeds. They are mostly in gallon containers so I will only transport them if there is interest.

Botanicat, not sure what kind of lily yet they are bubils volunteers, I'll save you one or two. I have two about to bloom and I can send u a picture once it does so you'll know. Do you have any more of the Larkspur and/or Rose campion (magenta) can spare?

Farmerpickle - I'll bring you some larkspur and rose campion.

It's showing rain tomorrow, any changes to the plan of the swap or we still having it?

Thanks, lucy!! It was fun.

It was so good to see everyone and meet people in person!
Thank you so much Lucy for hosting this event! And thanks to everyone who's wonderful plants will be making a home in my garden.
Enjoy your weekend,
Natalie

It was great to see everyone again! I managed to leave a few things. Maybe next time.

Hey everyone! We enjoyed meeting you!

But... I have a confession....

I picked up a plant that doesn't belong to me. I have sinned! The tag says, "Climbing Rose New Dawn or P. H. M. for Pam." Who's plant did I steal? I picked it up with my stuff (that I really, really, really like!) without thinking. Anyway, email me, and we'll find a way to get together. It's a nice looking plant!

Boo hoo! That was for me. oh well. I forgot at least one other thing (the ajuga that Natalie brought.)

But seriously...It's ok Woody, you can keep it. I didn't have a specific spot ready for it or anything. no biggie at all.

I enjoyed getting together with you all at the swap. Thanks, Lucy, for hosting. I'm excited to try some more new things. Thanks to all.

Pam,
please stop by when you can - and help yourself with ajuga.
Also, I have several round concrete stepping stones if anyone interested (it was a heavy load for a plant trade get-together, so I did not bring them). Some of them are plain, others have etched dragonflies and lady bugs on them. So, whoever is interested - they are yours!
~Natalie

Thank you Lucy for hosting, and all the people brought delicious food and awesome plants. I really enjoyed meeting with you and will take good care of the plants I received.

Thanks to everyone that came to the trade yesterday. It was good to see everyone. I had a great time and can't wait to set all of the new plants. I made some progress yesterday and today but finally ran out of steam.

Lucy

Thanks for hosting Lucy and I appreciate everyone leaving my trades for me. I have already planted them all.
Pam, I have your Ajuga. It was leftover when I came by to claim my stuff at 6:00. Send me an email with your address and I will drop it off for you.

I am SO bummed my mom and I couldn't come! Haven't missed a spring trade since I joined. Sounds like fun was had by all and I'm sorry we couldn't make it, but my niece's birthday party was same day/time.

Even though we didn't come just wanted to say thanks to Lucy for hosting it for the group this year and maybe we'll see ya'll in the fall.

Danielle

Lucy, thank you for opening your home and garden to us, we had a great time meeting everyone. My husband did enjoy himself with you ladies, he has 4 sisters, two daughters, lots of nieces, and female co-workers, he's used to women in groups. He was outnumbered by gardeners, too(he is not one), but you all made him feel quite at home.
I know I saw the English daisy, which I first thought was feverfew. Someone asked if I wanted some, but I didn't move fast enough. Whoever brought it, will you please save some for me, for the fall trade. There were so many plants that are new to me, still haven't had a chance to get aquainted with who they are. Thanks for loading me up with plants, I think.

Woody, I found the blackberry lily in the Best Garden Plants for GA, can't wait, it's really sweet. Is it pink or yellow.

Pam I think you took the brown Iris, did it bloom yet, mine here did. Let me know what you think of it and the campanulas, also whoever else took them. I didn't save any campanulas for myself, I can always get more later.

I will plan the hypertufa gathering for later, so that they might be ready planting in the fall or next year, I'm sure they need time to cure. I'm not sure I have the best set up, and we will need some men willing to carry cement, etc. Thanks again, I do feel connected now. o_gh

If anyone picked up some of that yellow blooming sedum, I got it identified as Sedum sarmentosum. I put the one I got in a planter with another sedum - they make a pretty pair.

Just thought you might like to have the botanical name for it.

Here is a link that might be useful: Sedum sarmentosum

Just wanted to say I enjoyed popping in and meeting many of you. Thank you for encouraging me to bring some plants home. Swapping is such fun, so much more special than store bought plants. Thanks again.

P.S. my back was doing better and then I picked up a 25 lb box of kitty litter and hoisted it into the shopping cart. Ouch!

Organic_gardenhag brought up the subject of making planters from hypertufa, and I mentioned seeing someone making edge rocks from the same material. Here is a link:
http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/hypertufa/msg0623254827935.html?35

Would be fun!

Random thought warning...

The blackberry lily is yellow.

I got some of the Sedum sarmentosum as well. I hope it does well. Looks like it will.

Botanicat - Did you bring me a fern? esh brought me a Broad Beech Fern, and I got another in a brown bag. Just curious about the name.

Lucy - What is the name of the yellow flower you gave me?

Again, thanks to everyone!

Here is a picture of the blackberry lily's bloom. The other leaves are from a baptista (false indigo).

Belamcanda chinensis 'Hello Yellow'

I'm guessing the foliage shown in your picture doesn't go with the yellow flower ...?

Woody- the false indigo is on my wish list, could we trade somethign in the fall.

esh - the other leaves are False Indigo.

About the Baptisia, do think I could propagate it? I've never tried, but I could.

Acording to Dave's,
"Propagation Methods:
From seed; direct sow outdoors in fall
From seed; winter sow in vented containers, coldframe or unheated greenhouse
From seed; stratify if sowing indoors
From seed; germinate in a damp paper towel
Scarify seed before sowing"

But I don't recall seeing seed pods.... I guess I need to pay closer attention. In the meantime, I could put a stem in water and see what happens.

Woody - No I didn't bring any ferns. The snowball bush was from me.

Woody,
I brought you the fern. It is a Sensitive Fern, Onoclea sensibilis.

I believe the yellow flower is a type of Primrose -- maybe an evening Primrose.

The Shasta Daisy you brought me is doing well now. I moved it out of direct sun. Thx. -Lucy

Thanks Lucy! To everyone - all the plants are doing well. I'm going to take some pictures of them in their new home. I'll tell them all to smile.
