    Hi, all! It's been awhile, but a few of you may remember me. I was the one who brought half-a-dozen or so plastic 50 gallon barrels to the spring swap last time we were in a severe drought. (Unfortunately I won't have the opportunity to get more before this swap.) I'm in a new, smaller place now, and have gradually been transforming bare yard into gardens. I had to leave a few things behind that I'm really coming to miss. Maybe someone here can help fill in the holes.

    Virginia Bluebells
    Acuba (someone had a field where these grew as weeds)
    Sedum Acre (yes, really!)
    Geraniums (cranesbills, not zonal)
    Blue-eyed Grass
    Cinnamon Fern
    Ostrich Fern

    And if anyone needs to thin their beds, I'll take as many of any kind of daffodils as they want to toss in my direction.

    I'm looking forward to seeing old friends again and meeting new ones, too!

    In thinking about what I left behind, I forgot to list my new loves!

    Salvia (most any kind) and
    Pulmonaria (any kind)

  • firstkim
    16 years ago

    Shadylady - please email ktstark AT comcast DOT net
    I'd like to talk to you about daffodils and Virginia bluebells.

    Thanks.

  • sfmiller
    16 years ago

    Any of these would be welcome:

    Alchemilla mollis (lady's mantle)
    Phlox 'David'
    pulmonaria (any)
    heucheras (other than 'Palace Purple')
    tiarellas (any)
    heucherellas (any)
    perennials that can take direct afternoon sun and occasional wet feet (for a low-lying spot)
    ornamental grasses that aren't too tall (2 to 3ish ft.)

    I put a haves list on the HAVES thread (now out of date), but will keep an updated one on my GW Exchange page (url below).

    I nearly forgot! I've been on the lookout for Cyclamen hederifolium - hardy cyclamen.

    I've sent e-mails out last night to all who responded to my previous post - Thanks!

    ..and Dwarf Dahlias (anything around 12" tall). My garden proper has various degrees of shade, but my deck gets full sun (oh, the irony!) and I'm looking for some colorful perennials that will take to being in containers.

    I'm done now. Really!

  • jenfee

    Hi all,

    I'm a MAG swap newbie, and I have my first truly permanent garden ever (I've moved 15 times in the last 10 years and every time the backseat is reserved for plants). Needless to say I've been dreaming of this spring.

    I would be interested in hardy herbs, "cottage-y" perennials (like daisies, echinacea, iris, rudbeckia), and small, creeping container-friendly things (like lobelia and alyssum). My particular favorites are nigella, columbine, and plants that "look like things" (eyeball, candy corn). I would also be interested in leaves or cuttings from unusual succulents.

    You can contact me at jenfee AT gmail DOT com

    Thanks!

    16 years ago

    Mauross wants Corydalis and Forget-me-Nots.

    I'll have a few itty bitty pieces of Corydalis cheilanthifolia (yellow flowered) and Forget-Me-Nots. Look me up at the swap. My name tag will most likely say Zee, versus Zebz.

  • leslies

    I don't have a lot of "wants" but there are a couple of things I'd love to have a chunk of:

    salvia 'Black and Blue' I killed mine :-(
    alchemilla mollis, lady's mantle
    a big blue hosta - any of the really monstrously large ones

  • leslies
    16 years ago

    One more "want"

    small plastic pots - I keep giving mine away at the MAG swap!

  • busyasabee
    16 years ago

    I would love to get the following if available:

    Blue monkshood
    Lots and lots of Lambs ears
    Hostas (variegated)
    Brugmansia
    Gardening magazines
    Cleome

    August lillies

  • bunlover
    16 years ago

    Although I have been to the last 2 swaps, I am rather new to this group and gardening, and am still not up to speed with the official latin names of plants. However, I love perenials and reseeding annuals. I am interested in the following:

    Veggies--all, especially tomatoes and hot peppers
    Hostas--all varieties, especially larger leaf
    Ground Cover--creeping, sun = morn to early afternoon
    Daisy's--all
    Black-Eyed Susans
    Cone Flower
    Lily of the Valley
    Coreospis--any
    Sedums--any
    Anything for Butterfly garden
    Anything for Shade
    Love yellow and blues/purples

    Looking forward to the event!

  • leslies
    16 years ago

    OK, I guess there's no such thing as a limited "want" list. Does anyone have a hellebore to spare? Seedlings welcome!

  • LynneinMD
    16 years ago

    Someone was asking on the 'have' thread about leftover/unwanted plants - I don't think there's much danger of plants getting left, but if there are any unwanted plants left, I'd be happy to take any that would be safe/happy at my childrens' school, they did a big green-up this past weekend and could use some more plants.

    Does anyone have any unwanted rocks/fieldstones? I'd be happy to come collect them if you do. I'm looking for something that is fairly low (or can be sunk into the ground a bit) so I can make path edgings but still be able to mow over them.

  • kilngod
    16 years ago

    There's no such thing as too much hosta or liriope for me....feel free to put any of these straight into my car :)

    (It's maple tree desperation talking here.)

  • lynnt
    16 years ago

    Although I won't be there in person, I can't resist trying to make a few trades -- especially since Christine has been kind enough to be willing to act as my intermediary. Also, I do expect to be at Vlad's memorial, so if need be we can exchange some plants there -- I'm sure Vlad would not have minded!

    I sent emails via Gardenweb to a few folks, but perhaps you would be kind enough to confirm here, so I know what to bring to Christine's on Friday:

    Mauross, do you have a spare dwarf aruncus and maybe some ceratostigma? I can send you some Gladwin iris or Iris tectorum if you like, or check my list.

    Annebert, would you have an uncommited dicliptera left, and perhaps a tecomaria? I don't see a wants list for you...

    Wishdesign, I would be delighted to send you a whole bucket of grape hyacinth in return for a caraculla and a ground cherry or two.

    Alison (weatherers) can I ask for some blackberry lily? I can send you LOTS of tovara, and think I can roust out a hellbore foetidissima.

    By the way, kilngod & CollectorDi, I will look to see if my hyacinth beans have begun to sprout yet. The shiso has just begun to emerge -- I will have TONS of that by the end of May if someone wants to come by for a shovel tour after my exams are done...

    That should hold me -- I don't want to be greedy. But I will certainly miss seeing you all!

    Nothing like posting at the last moment! I have always depended upon the kindness of strangers.
    I'm interested in plants:
    - for a dry, shady slope,
    - that attract butterflies and birds,
    - also looking for herb plants.
    Looking forward to Saturday.

    Thanks,
    Stan (Howndawg)

  • wishdesign
    16 years ago

    LynnT--

    I didn't get your email, but I would love to trade the corkscrew vine and ground cherries for the muscari. Thank you so much, and sorry you can't make it to the swap!

    --Jean

  • leslies
    16 years ago

    kilngod, if giverny is offering them this year, ask her for mayapples. The ones she gave me last year are doing fine under a very large, very thirsty maple. Also wild ginger might do OK. If no one is offering it this year, let me know, and I'll dig you some of mine.

  • kilngod
    16 years ago

    Thanks Leslies - I've got a trade with giverny for the wild ginger already thinking those would work (and will be there a little early lookin' for mayapples).

    LynneT - thanks for thinking of me on the hyacinth bean, though i didn't see anything that you were looking for that I have. Sorry we wil miss you at the swap.

    I too emailed through GW to a few -- foodeefish (solomon's seal for succulents), tabassam (cherry bells for iris), madsquopper (bear's breaches for ??), mauross (dwarf aruncus, obediant plant for forget-me-not) -- as the emails weren't public to members. If any of you see anything on my list that interests you, please email me! If not, searching around at the swap is plenty of fun & I didn't do enough of that last year...I'll come find you :)

    A sooo excited swapper,
    Tina (kilngod)

  • spanaval
    16 years ago

    Tina, I can sympathize with your Maple tree desperation. I have a very large silver maple that I'm doing battle with. It has a high canopy, so it is sunny and very, very, dry under there. What I've found is that xeric perennials do very well under those circumstances. The Agastache that I have to be careful with under other conditions is going nuts and multiplying like mad. Sedums really like it there. On the shadier part, I have Lamium established, and they're doing very, very well. I bet that epimedium and some Hellebores will probably be okay there as well. Just some extra ideas for you.

  • alisonmd
    16 years ago

    Mauross,
    I don't think, my email to you went through. If still available, could I have some Epimedium rubrum and Obedient plant. I have (from your list) basil and forget me not. Also, check out my list on "Haves"
    Thanks

    One last thing I forgot -- has anyone got any spare rhubarb? I haven't seen it at the big box stores this year for some reason, and I have saved a big space in my new sun bed for it...

    I'm am so bummed.
    None of my cannas came back. The mice made nests of them in the garage and chomped on the bulb things. I was hoping.

    Does anyone have any red cannas with burgundy foliage? I love Red Futurity and will probably buy some if no one has any to trade. I figured it doesn't hurt to ask.

    I've also lost a Huechera (or heucherella) 'Ebony and Ivory.' I'd love to trade something for some of that. It's a perfect little plant. The voles thought so, too.

    I'm building wire mesh cages for everything this year. Screw this.

  • watergal
    16 years ago

    Christine, I have a Red King Humbert you can have, and I might have a Phaison left (striped foliage, not burgundy). Let me know if you're interested.

    I have a big old metal bread box that I use to store my canna rhizomes. Although now I've outgrown it and also use heavy plastic buckets with lids, Rubbermaid storage containers with lids, etc. I also suggest strategically placed mousetraps.

  • watergal
    16 years ago

    I have white siberian iris. Let me know if you want me to save you one.

  • cfmuehling
    Original Author
    16 years ago

    Watergal,
    I'd love the canna. I'll pass on the water iris, but I'll bet Bonnie would jump on them. If it has the word "iris" in it, she loves it. :) White would compliment her purple.

    I have just learned that I don't need to lift canna around here. I had no idea and will try not to this next season. If elephant ears continue to survive, I think if I do my normal, 3'' mulch, the cannas should, too .

    Mouse traps: Rich caught 23 mice in one afternoon. We ran out of peanut butter and they started eating the trapped ones. Totally pukey. It'll help when we're not under construction anymore. In 10 years when that happens.

    Thanks for the canna. :)

  • watergal
    16 years ago

    Christine, wow, where are you that's a zone 7b? I'm SO jealous!

    I've had Red King Humbert make it through the last 2 winters in a fairly protected spot in my own yard, here on the line between zones 6 and 7. I've never had any other cannas make it through a winter outdoors, though.

    From my observations around the area, it seems that the red flowered ones are more winter hardy than some of the more exotic varieties.

    I DID have a zone 7 giant calla overwinter this year outside. Yippee! With such a late winter and so much wetness, I didn't expect it to make it. It's on a well-drained hill. Maybe next year I'll have enough to bring to the swap. It looks like a speckled elephant ear. Here's a photo (you can buy one if you don't want to wait!):

  • cfmuehling

    Wish Design:
    I'll bring you strawberries (we talked about this, no?) and I can bring you both chocolate mint (yes, smells like chocolate mint) and spearmint. let me know if you need both.

    Busyasabee:
    Find me. I'll have named and unnamed verigated hosta.

    Watergal, too cool! :)
    I live in waterless hell sometimes, but things do seem to winter well -- if the voles don't get them. I'm taking LynnT's suggest and buying wire mesh today to make cages for bulbs. I'm tired of watching foliage wilt before my very eyes.

    LynnT -- didn't you get my email about the bucket of Blackberry Lilies sitting next to your bucket of Jacob Klein on the cinder blocks by my pine tree? They're a'waiting you. Hosta Albo Margineta is potted, sitting on the ground in a plastic tray ready to go to the swap. It's not labeled yet, but if you don't have any... It's a nice, medium-sized upright.

    I'm ready.
    I want you to bring plastic bags to take home the stuff that sulks. Can't wait!

  • gardengranma
    16 years ago

    Hi, this is the "poobah" (whatever that means). If you have a last minute look on this, consider bringing some stick-um name tags. We will have paper, pens, and tape so you can put your name on your car, but we have none that you can paste on your chest to tell others who your are. If there are as many people as last year, this would be immensely helpful (I'll check with the drugstore, just in case). Gardengranma is getting on in years (and I am not the only one). Remember - call if you are lost 301-421-0284 -- someone will be near the phone to help you.
    Tomorrow sounds like just the right day for a swap. If we run out of parking spaces, you can park along the street leading up to our house (the neighbors are great and will not complain). I am really looking forward to seeing all of you. For DHs, who would like to read the paper rather than swap, send them inside, the house is open to all. Coffee will be ready.
