| 2011 Spring MAG Swap: Plants you Have List
Saturday May 14, 2011 from 10am to 1pm
DIRECTIONS (I know that nobody ever reads directions, including me. But please read them anyway.) HAVES LIST DOs and DON’Ts: DO post a list of the plants you HAVE on this thread. Please add Latin names and cultivar names, as applicable, if you can. DO list any other garden stuff, such as seeds, tools, magazines, books, and gnomes, that you wish to swap or give away. Somebody else might want it! DO read other people's lists. If you see things you want, please e-mail the person directly via private e-mail to arrange the trade. To e-mail the person, click on their name at the top of their post. DO update your lists when you think of more things you want. DO feel free to update your member page with your Haves and Wants and to link your post here to any Plant Exchange page you may have. DO NOT arrange trades on this thread. Please arrange them via private e-mail. DO NOT use this thread your Wants. That's what the MAG Spring Swap: Plants you Want thread is for.
DOs and DON’Ts for the SWAP: DO mark reserved plants (i.e., plants which you already arranged a trade for) so that other people do not take them by mistake. DO label your plants. The plant labels do not need to be fancy. Popsicle sticks, plastic spoons, etc. are fine. DO take plants labeled “Free” or “Please Take”. (In fact, PLEASE do take plants labeled “Free or “Please Take”.) DO ask if you are not sure whether it is ok for you to take the plants. DO, when you leave, take home (or sneak into somebody else’s vehicle) the plants you brought that nobody wanted.
DO NOT take anything marked "Reserved" or labeled for someone else. DO NOT leave the plants you brought that nobody wanted for Gardengramma to have to deal with. FAQ #1: CAN I COME EVEN THOUGH I DON’T HAVE ANY PLANTS TO TRADE? Answer: Yes, you can come even though you don't have any plants to trade. Your main assignment is to bring food or other items for the pot luck. (Chocolate-containing foods are strongly encouraged.) Please discuss your potluck contributions at the MAG Spring Swap Food thread, not here. Also, note that, in many cases, the reason why people are bringing these particular plants to the swap for you to take home is because the plants are, um, “vigorous”. In a few years, you, too, will have lots of plants to trade. Happy gardening! |

|
| baptisia species - 6 second year plants boxwood shrubs - 3 small ones symphoricarpus alba - these run a bit so I have rooted offsets geranium macrorrhizum "Ingwersen's Variety" - 12" clump, can split. variegated lilac - no idea what cultivar it is. Small plant with decent roots. salvia uliginosa - rooted offsets. This plant runs. salvia guaranitica 'Black and Blue' - rooted offsets. This plant runs, too, but not aggressively. Often sold as an annual, but this is the fourth year in the garden for mine. |

I should be able to get 1-3 rooted cuttings from it if there is interest. I'll have a few new flowers babies to offer in a week or so, and likely a few other finds from my garden as I scope things out. |

| 'Twill be a busy weekend, but I just might make it! I have available: Common Rue (Ruta graveolens) -- 1 ~3 year old plant in a large pot Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis)* -- several Catnip (Nepeta cataria)* -- several Mints (Mentha spp)* -- I have at least 2 types of mint. I'll bring the runners loose in buckets Tawny Daylily (Hemerocallis fulva)* aka ditch lily Violets (Viola sororia(?))* -- plain blue or blue & white Money plant (Lunaria annua)* -- actually a biennial; these are 1st year plants that will bloom with pink flowers next spring followed by flat coin-like papery seed pods. Waterlily (Nymphaea x ) -- salmon pink blooms -- Currently I have one potted up and another offset I can detach from the mother plant. I may be able to bring some other things, especially if anyone is interested: Egyptian walking onions (Allium x proliferum)* Evening Primrose (Oenothera ?) -- yellow-flowered perennial Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia ?)* -- perennial Butternut squash (Cucurbita moschata) -- seeds or seedlings -- saved from a local (PA) organic farmer -- will try to find out the variety, but looked like Waltham. Tomato & pepper starts -- depends on what I have left after planting out and trading; best possibility: Thai chilis! Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus)* -- summer-flowering shrub -- volunteer seedlings -- may bloom from whitish-pink to lavender. Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium)* -- small daisy-like blooms -- volunteers -- may be single or double. * Potentially Invasive |

| Addendum -- I have periwinkles! Both plain Vinca minor and variegated Vinca major. Invasive? Ya, you betcha! But they're a nice groundcover, and the bees like 'em, and they're a lot less noxious than English ivy! |
|
| Also have: Japanese Maple seedling volunteers - NOID |

| I have these for the swap: Fig cuttings, already showing roots- celeste - cold hardy in our zone 7a Nova, mother tree (3-4 years old) didn't need any protection to over last winter, nothing cold damaged on any branch. Fruiting well and very sweet, small size (2 -2.5" diameter) fig fruit. Chive, garlic type, the one Asian use for cooking Common lily, yellow Ribbon grass Stawberry plants, already flowering now. Planting pots, nursery type, and some very good durable ones, various sizes (from seedling pot to 3 or 5 gallon size). If you need them, let me know by 5/7 (or 5/1), the sooner the better, and what sizes you looking for. I can get them from a source for you. Otherwise, will bring whatever I have then to the swap. Will have limited # of bigger (5 gallon) pots due to size for transportation, unless pre-arranged. Red raspberry seedlings Happy gardening! |

|
| Also have: small seedlings of Caryopteris divaricata "Blue Butterflies" - be warned, beautiful flowers but not as pretty a smell |

| A few additional plants I have some small (4-9 inches)volunteer trees: redbud, mimosa, maple (not sure which type) and one oak several rooted sprigs of trumpet vine |
|
| I have a native honeysuckle vine, lonicera sempervirens, potted rootings from a plant that originally came from the National Arboretum sale, 3 for sure, possibly 6 depending on how they take. Hummingbird attractor, very narrow red trumpet flower. Takes shade, everygreen, climbs or groundcover. |
Here is a link that might be useful: lonicera sempervirens
|
| I have: Money plant (lunaria) Gladys |
|
| Here's what I can bring this year: iris "great lakes" (light blue) |
|
| I have 5 or 6 campanula trachelium. Second year from seed - should bloom this year. http://www.robsplants.com/plants/CampaTrach.php |
Here is a link that might be useful: c. trachelium
|
| I can also bring some unrooted Sweet Autumn Clematis cuttings if anyone is interested in trying their hand at getting them to root. Just let me know. Thanks, Ann |

| I'll also have a few of these Mallow Mauritania |
|
| I have the following: Spreads by seeds: Spreads by runners; relatively easy to control: Ellen |
|
I should have the following, mostly in small quantities:
I can dig these if anyone wants them, but won't pot up:
Email sfmiller AT umd DOT edu in case the GW mail system is wonky. Steven |
|
| Disregard my previous list! I will be bringing the following: Raspberries--Dormared Japanese Maples Cucumber seedlings--Miniature White Keria I'll also be bringing a shovel that I no longer use. I also may bring some ditch lillies and some Northern Oat grass. |
|
| HAVE: embarrassing confession. My 'Black & Blue' salvias died over the winter. Every one of them. I have a few pathetically small sprouts that are offsets of one of the plants and I will give these to the first few people who asked me for this plant. I apologize to all. Salvia uliginosa came roaring back and I will get those to everyone who asked and will being some extras. Four or five lobelia cardinalis plants - all second year from seed, blooming size, safely potted and ready to go. Lavender. Also second year from seed and setting flowers now. Cultivar name already forgotten and probably pointless for seed-grown plants. They might be 'Lady.' |
|
| I have a few additions: Oregano Morning glory - unnamed variety - deep blue/purple. Gladys |
|
| Red okra pods Garlic Chive seeds Jerusalem artichokes Tomato cages (4) Kabocha squash seeds |
