    I'd like to join, too. I can swap outdoor plants, many varieties for sun/shade/in between. Do you want us to post wish lists and what we can share?

    Laurel,

    I could either swap indoor or outdoor items. Nancy can place me in either catagory.

    Outdoor plants- Haves
    Autumn joy sedum cuttings (they root so easily, just place in moist soil).

    Jackson & Perkins Hedge roses/ Dark pink/light pink
    cuttings, also a Rambling Red Rose (cuttings). I'll dip the cuttings in rootone for you.

    Snow on the mountain (rooted pieces).

    Ajuga bronze/green purple flowers (babies).

    Boston ivy clippings (might be able to share rooted pieces).

    Chocolate Mint (rooted).

    Lily of the Valley pups (rooted).

    Daylilys (Red Magic/Springhill nursery).

    Iris (purple, but not positive on color).

    Outdoor ground cover ivy, unrooted cuttings.

    Wants- anything variegated, especially variegated iris!
    Hens -N- Chicks.

    Haves for houseplants- violet leaves, succulent cuttings.

    Wants- basket monstera cuttings or plant. ANY basket, hanging plant.

    I'm interested in outdoor perennials.

    I have to share:

    Various named daylilies ('Mary Todd,' 'Tijuana,' 'So Lovely,' 'Mateus,' 'Evening Harmony,' 'Banditman' and an unknown that is possibly 'Autumn Red')
    Rose of Sharon seedlings (open pollinated, from my 'Blue Bird' shrub)
    Variegated Solomon's seal
    Monarda 'Raspberry Wine'
    Purple liatris (NOT 'Kobold,' it's taller at about 24"-26")
    Asters (a true pink, 15-18" mounding one with yellow centered flowers, very vigorous and tolerant of adverse conditions)
    Hens and chicks (two green varieties with red tips, one tiny red variety like pine cone rosettes)
    Heirloom dwarf/border bearded iris (true purple, vigorous and hardy)
    {{gwi:633195}}

    I'm looking for:

    Named daylilies (any, as long as they're true to name)
    Snow on the Mountain/variegated bishop's weed
    Siberian iris (any, doesn't matter if they're named)
    Hosta (any - I'm filling in a woodland garden area - I already have 'Minuteman,' albomarginata, albovariegata, 'Francee,' 'Gold Standard,' 'Fragrant Honeybells,' 'Fragrant Bouquet,' 'Krossa Regal,' and 'Antioch,' but repeats are fine)
    Modern or heirloom tall bearded irises (any, even NOIDs)
    Trillium and other shade plants/wildflowers

    Thanks for hosting again, Debbya! I might need to pick your brain soon when I'm ready to post my information for the July swap sign-up.

    Girls, I wont be able to do this swap. I have been down in my hips and back for 7 weeks,I do plan on doing the birthday swap for Sue. I have several things on hand I can send her. I have been to the med Dr and the chiropractor 5 times, but don't seem to get any better and I can hardley walk. I go monday for an MRI of my back and hips and also a sonagram of my stomach as both Drs think they see what may be an aneurysm in my arota. Cancer runs in our family so naturaly I'm thinking the worst so I need all my GW's friends prayers. They say the golden years, I dont think much of them. I will keep you all posted Snyder(Ann)

    We need a few more to join for this month to work.
    So far we only have 2 interested (plus me).

    Let's give this two more days (for signups), and if no one else is interested in participating I'll have to cancel the swap this month and try again next month.

    Where is everyone? :)

    Hi Deb, We are haveing severe drought here. The grass had turned brown a couple weeks ago and no rain in sight. It usually does not do that until August. No way I can plant anymore things because I can not keep them watered.
    I probably should be giveing away some of the stuff I already have. Looks like no swaps for me for a while.

    Hi Beth,
    It's been raining here too much for the last few weeks. Our grass needs to be cut 2 times per week lately due to the excess rain. I'm sure the mosquitos will be awful in a few weeks! The drought/heat has effected so many areas. I've had the feeling that's why the plant swaps are so slow.

    I'm going to cancel the swap for this month.
    Hopefully, more will be able to join in July.
