Thanks, Wardw, for posting this. I'd like to urge anyone in the vicinity of the Rancocas Nature Center to take advantage of this. The salvias are fantastic hummer plants. Mine are even now putting forth a lot of new blooms - and I still have hummers taking advantage of them.

I took cuttings of my greggiis last week and they are have rooted already. I grow mine in large pots that I bring into the cellar way for a couple of years until they are just too big to handle and then I take cutting and start all over again.

Thanks for the info. I'll be up that way on Saturday for the swap, so I'll try to stop in the morning. Do I need to talk to someone in more detail, or just take my snips? I promise to take only a couple clippings, and such that they won't be missed.

You could ask for Mary and tell her that Ward said it was OK. Even if she's not there, feel free to take cuttings. Anyone who wants Salvia Coccinea "Lady in Red" seed should also help themselves. Next year I plan to introduce a few more salvias and other hummingbird plants into the gardens there. So if any of you have hummer plants that you would like to see introduced to the public, please let me know. These plants could then be parcelled out as cuttings at the end of the season.

Have fun at Steve's swap. I have to lead a field trip that morning so I don't expect to make it. His garden is one of the most interesting gardens I've ever known

Hi wardw, thanks for the info. I haven't forgotten about the seeds from S. splendens Paul. It didn't make any seed on the first flowers and then didn't flower again til much later. Now it looks like it is starting to make a few seeds.

Thanks Loretta.
