| Hi everyone,
I am new to this forum and I have been looking for a time and location of the MTPS. I have a few things that may be interesting for some of you. I have a small garden, so I don't have a ton of plants. Let's see..I have: Coronation Gold Yarrow Espresso cranesbill Amesthina toad lily Threadleaf coreopsis I have some other things, but do not know the cultivars, such as hand-me-down purple aster. Any info would be appreciated! Thanks, Rooty |

| Rooty, Everything you want to know about the MTPS is on their website, linked below. There are even directions and maps to the location. You can also register on the site. |

| Rooty, I am already coveting your cranesbill and your toad lily (even though I couldn't find it on google). Could I entice you with Lenten Rose or daffodils or Spider lily (Lycoris radiata)? Irisaddict |
|
| irisaddict, I really like the lycoris lily, but there is a problem. It seems like they appear every few years. They completely skip some years. Have you ever seen this problem? About the Amesthina toad lily: I ordered it from Wayside gardens about 5 (?) years ago. It is possible I am spelling the name incorrectly. |

| Rooty, Have your spider lilies been in the ground for a long time? Could be they need digging and dividing. |

| Come on down, Rootygirl. We would love to have you and you are sure to have a good time! |
|
| Thanks so much for the warm welcome! I will be there--I've registered. I'm really looking forward to this. Yes, the spider lilies have been in the ground a long time, so if they need to be divided, I hope they come up every year. Maybe that is the problem. I also have salad burnet to trade--it's easy to grow! Here is the properly spelled name of my toad lilies: amythestina. |

| rootygirl: Any chance you have some toad lilies left? :):):) I'd love to trade for some. Please LMK. Thanks - Steve |
|
| Hi Steve, I have not pre-traded anything yet because I am not sure how it all works. I know one thing: I really need thalictrum. I have checked some good garden centers and no one has it. (At least not yet.)I could mail order it, but I thought maybe I would find it at the plant swap? Do people arrive at the plant swap with a lot of their plants pre-traded? Rooty |

| rooty: Not really. If you are a first timer, don't worry about bringing a ton, but save room for the ton you will be taking home! =) Most people pre-trade for just a handful of plants & have quite a bit more just ready to give out. Some people will save a plant for someone, then just pick something from their table (kinda like a first pick) at the swap. That's kind of like a halfway pre-arranged trade...lol. You'll see a flurry of activity like this here soon. In fact, this forum has been a good bit slower, for MTPS stuff, than it normally is. Please check out my trade list on here & LMK if you see anything you like. If not, I have several various veggie & flower seedlings i'll also be bringing that you could pick from. It's up to you though. =) We don't want you to feel pressured to pre-arrange trades! lol. - Steve |
