Would you consider doing a trade by mail? This time of year, it should work okay. The Gailardia interests me. Is the Lobelia a perennial?

Do you have something in particular you are looking for? Carmellia

Carmellia-If you can tell me where abouts you are I can maybe drive in with some stuff. Otherwize, I'm out here between Litchfield and Hutchinson if you want to come out here. I have lots of things. My Gaillardia is from seed I collected myself, have a few dozen to give away. The Lobelia, maybe 10, Lots of Sweet William(Dianthus). Purple cone flower(Echinacea), Black Eyed SUsan(Rudv=beckia fulgida), etc, etc. All are perennial. I ahve been building a large prairie wildflower garden for the past 4 years.
Tell me what you have to trade. I can always use Daylillies, eg.

I am way down in Kenyon, close to 50 miles from the Cities. I don't know how far it is "as the crow flies" from Hutchinson.

It may be a little late to suggest this, but I am hosting a plant swap at my house tomorrow (Saturday the 23rd). YOu would be very welcome to come and bring all your extra stuff and take home some brand new stuff.

Just a thought. If you can come, let me know and I will send directions to you. We pot luck at noon and trade at 1:00. Don't think about bringing food at this late date. There is always too much food anyway. Carmellia

Sorry but that is too far to go. After your swap meet let me know what you have to swap and we can exchange ideas.
