I have Daylilies. No name seedlings that are overcrowded in one particular space. Pastels- peaches, yellows, pinks, etc. No ditch lilies in this mix. Will pot up, or maybe just bring bare-root. All did well, but I just planted too many in one spot.

Dave, I owe you a named pinkie. Will find you a nice specimen.

Anyone know what the chances are of Lupine? I have several that I need to get rid of, but last time I tried to dig/pot, they got pissy and keeled over. I have a few that I'd like to take out...anyone interested in seeing if they'll 'take' if I bring them for you? They haven't bloomed yet; started from seed in 2005. No idea what color they might be. Probably will flower next year if they DO survive. I'll bring them if you want to take a chance on them.

Can divide up a section of Malva Fastigiata (the pink one) for you. They've gone by, so I'll have to cut them back and just pot up the roots, but they are totally gorgeous in bloom during June/July.

Evening Primrose. The yellow one. GORGEOUS in bloom, but it needs its own space; aggressive spreader.

I'll find some other stuff, too.

Looking for:

Oh, I dunno...colorful perennials, I suppose. I like BIG BOLD & BRIGHT...

Big poofy marigolds. Got some seeds to share?

I also have a bunch of all green ones that were hybridized, but lack the variegation of the named varieties above. I will bring them and offer them for the taking.

Greg, I can bring some coneflowers for you-I seem to be over run with them this year. I'd love a Montana Aureomarginata. I have one already and I agree it's a winner. The Feather Boa that I got from you this spring was the cutest little thing when it bloomed this summer.

I will probably have some of the following:

foxglove

buddleia-blooming seedlings from what looks like Border Beauty, a light purple that apparently reseeds. So far this habit is not pesky

Japanese painted fern that is limping along here-nearly identical to the one I had at the spring swap for those of you there

Tiny Purple Emperor sedum

Whatever else I can dig up

At the present I know I will be digging up some double orange daylilies,some heliopsis( perennial sun flower), one or two turtle heads,a spirea bush, one joe pie weed, blue cardinal flower, obedience plant, phlox and coreopsis I probably will find more to offer as I continue weeding my jungle of a garden.
Gata, that gentian that I got from you two years ago is full of buds. I can't wait for them to open.

Voluptuous Pink
Pink Flirt
Siloam Double Classic
And I KNOW this one had a name, because I bought it at the farm in Madbury last year...but for the life of me, I can't remember what it was: It's a tall, large-bloom peachy-pink thing with a rose-colored eye-zone. It performed wonderfully for me this year, and was a rebloomer. Nice.

Oh, and Dave, I found the cutest little pink seedling yesterday in the seedling patch. It was a smaller pink bloom, mid-size height, with rounded petals (not a bagel, but similar in shape to THIS.) It was pink, with near-white midribs, and white on the tips and WAY fragrant! I'll give it up if you'd like to have it. No name on it, though.

Annie- I have a couple of seedlings potted up for you.

It's hard to believe Fall is fast approaching!

Molly and I plan on attending and I may bring my friend Julie and her daughter Danny too.

I haven't figured out what I'll be digging yet, but when I do, I will post a list.

I will probably have some butterfly bushes (Purple, astilbe, Anenome (fall blooming), to name a few for now.

Gata, I would love some of your Sarah Bernhardt Peony, hopefully I will be able to dig up something you are looking for to make a swap.

Happy Labor Day Weekend,

Lyn

Whoever gave me the chelone last year -- it is doing marvelously! I totally forgot all about it until it appeared. How nice. Annie, the pink hardy hibiscus that I won as a doorprize came back and is totally loaded in flowers and buds. I also have a hardy white one if anyone wants seeds of that.

Anybody see anything they just have to have?
Debra

Is anyone interested in hops rhizomes? Ours are taking over.

Diane

I have at least one of everything unless noted.

Ron

Annie

I'll bring some hens and chicks for you- still deciding what else to bring - see you all on the 23rd

Let me know what you would like in exchange so that I can put your name on them

Well Fortune has her way with me again. I will not be able to make the Swap again, but I will hold a couple of the rooted viburnum cuttings for you. They've just started rooting so when they get bigger, I will mail you a couple.
Dang Dang Dang!

Have a great time all!
Debra

Thanks Ron

I have a small yard so I would need several acres to plant and grow all that I have available.

PLMK what you would like, I only have so much room in a small car.

Ron

Any one else interested in hardy geraniums PLMK.

No takers on the Joe Pye? I have several nice young plants of this. Good native plant. (Eupatorium purpureum).

Looking forward to the swap and my fingers are crossed for good weather!
Gata

Ron

Ron

Ron, the Rhododendron wilsonii sounds terrific. Any chance you could bring it, along with Purple Lady Fingers and Thumbnail hosta? I'll bring some huecheras/tiarellas for you?

Annie, I'll see about oregano. I think I've got some I could dig.

Best wishes to all,
Gata

If we think that it is going to be raining again like the Spring Swap, should PJ get a pair of waders to help pull cars out of the mud again? Annie's poor yard, it was such a mess. I hope that it has recovered, just in time for all of us to come wreck it again. Annie you are such a Saint.

Annie, I have some nice oregeno I will dig in the am.

what else can I bring, nourishment and fluids etc?

Ron
