HAVE: San Antonio Spring Swap 2013 trades - Part 2

It happened again :-) The first thread hit the max number so I'll start Part 2.

Mamachilie - I'm so glad you and Mike are coming again! I planted the cantaloupe seed you gave me last fall and it's coming up really well. I'll bring you a cayenne pepper plant.

Pheonix (Joey) - If you didn't have plans for one of the double purple datura plants you were offering could I have it? I don't know if there's anything else or something more you might like off my list. Just let me know.

    dug 3 types of crinums from the yard today including crinuma americanum-low growing, white open spider type pink tinged flowers, Ellen bousant (not sure on spelling)-deep pink trumpet flowers, and one unknown

    Afican hosta-great for pots, ground cover, partial shade/sun-ya`ll will probably have to bring this one in.

    bromeliad-this is a big one best suited for a spot that gets a lot of sun but protected in mid-day, one of the hardier bromeliads

    Hymnocallis sp. -white spider lily-toes dormant, mulch it over winter. big white spider blooms.

    have 2 rooted pieces of the columnar cactus

    Pride of Barbados seedlings

    Couple of house plants

    Sea Oats

    Tally HO!

    Tally can I get an Ellen Bosanquet from you. I love its color. Im gonna be bringing lots of things like phygelius, tricolor potato vine and datura

  • rock_oak_deer

    Pat, I'd like an Old Man's Pipe please. I'm bringing the purple cactus for you.

  • honeybunny2 Fox

    Tally is the bromeliad the one that you water from the center of the plant, or the tall bromeliad?

    It almost kills my soul that I dare not bring plants to trade because of the possibility they might harbor chilli thrips, but I do have the following seeds to give away. No need to reserve them. I'm bringing 4 to 6 packs of each kind. Just come and ask for them.

    On the other hand, I do have several 2 year old plants of the very hardy, very sweet (but seedy), tangerine tree, 'Changsha' (hardy to 5 degrees) which I grew from seed. I've never noticed chilli thrips on the seedlings. I could drench them with a systemic insecticide known to control chilli thrips if anyone wants to take the chance. They fruit at 7 yrs. old. Otherwise I'll have to toss them.

    I looked up photos of the seeds I have. Click thumbnail for larger view:

    Love in a Puff (Vine pictured in back of pink phlox)

    The puff:

    Velvet Pod Mimosa (Texas native)

    Scarlet Pentapete

    Pink Pentapete

    Green Malabar Spinach (on tower, Scarlet Pentapete in foreground)

    Celosia Flamingo Feather

    Tall Cassia

    Fimbriata Pipe Vine (Flower pictured. Pipevine swallowtail caterpillar food)

    Looking forward to seeing all of you. Has anyone heard anything from Rebecca?

    Uh oh! I see the thumbnails are not clickable. Photobucket changed things around it seems ... sorry.

  • roselee z8b S.W. Texas
    10 years ago

    If you have anything to donate to the door prize drawing they will be welcomed. I'm bringing a few things ....

  • rock_oak_deer
    10 years ago

    A few reminders for Saturday....

    I'll be there at 8:00 am when the park opens to reserve the tables. Most swappers arrive after 9:00 am and we are usually finished around noon.

    It's a bit of a walk to the swap site from the parking area so bring a cart if you have one.

    We will have a door prize drawing so items for the table are appreciated.

    Have fun and we'll see you there!

    Gardenlover, I'll separate the Changsha's and bring for you.

    Tally, I'd love one of the columnar cactus. As you know I'll have a couple of things for you. I'll leave them in the car and have your hubby (Jim, right?) carry them to your vehicle.

  • gardenlover1
    10 years ago

    Dstartz - I am interested in Snow Queen to trade anything from my list.

  • gardenlover1
    10 years ago

    I am bringing an item for door prize.

  • roselee z8b S.W. Texas
    10 years ago

    GardenLover Gina, you are going to be the proud owner of a Changshaw orchard ...... ;-). I didn't separate them and am bringing the pot containing 8 plants. . Maybe you can use the little trees as trades next time.

    They've been doused and soaked in systemic insecticide as have all the plants I'm bringing. I hate to use the stuff since it's leathal to bees if they get around it. European countries are seriously considering banning it and U.S. beekeepers are trying to get congress to listen.

    Some of you may want to considering bringing a chair.

  • Ken145

    Hey how is everyone doing? I will be attending tomorrow. Sorry I haven't been around. Don't have that much but I will have 7 Sweet Chocolate Pepper seedlings, 6 Chocolate Beauty Pepper Seedlings, 3 Casper Eggplant seedlings and 2 Ancho Gigatico Pepper seedlings.

  • zitro_joe

    Ken - Purple Tomatillo and lime cutting are yours
    Tally - I have two 2"-3" cuttings that are rooted.

  • zitro_joe

    I can make fresh cutting to bring if any one want some.

  • roselee z8b S.W. Texas

    It was another wonderful and well attended SAPS. Thanks everyone for coming and thanks again for the plants I received. They are much appreciated.

    For once I think I got to talk to everyone except for one of tne of the attendees who popped in and out so quickly I didn't even see you

    We really missed seeing those of you who didn't make it. Hopefully, you can come to the fall SAPS.

  • honeybunny2 Fox

    I also had a wonderful time. I got to meet and visit with everyone that came. It was a beautiful day for a plant swap. Barbra

  • leapingfroglady Valdez
    10 years ago

    Great meeting up with new faces. Lisa, Joe, and Joseph, I didn't know your online names to who you were till today. At least I now can visualize who you guys are. I'll try to pop in here occasionally. I'm not to keen on how this format runs but always love seeing your gardens in photos and learning from other gardeners.

  • rock_oak_deer
    10 years ago

    Thanks to everyone for the great swap today! I'll be busy with all these wonderful new plants.

    Lisa-I have the dish from the yummy muffins you brought, let me know how to get it back to you.

  • zitro_joe
    10 years ago

    How in the world did I come home with more plants than I arrived with?

    Tally I was able to keep the Crinums, but as you said - I forgot the names of them...can you tell by the picture?

  • dstartz
    10 years ago

    My sincerest apologies to all with whom I had a trade or olive trees for.

    I have been ill for several years, but basically functional. Last night it jumped up and bit me. I just didn't have the strength to make it to the swap or my other obligation in SA this afternoon.

  • southofsa

    It was so nice to talk to everyone yesterday. And thanks for all the great plants.

    Shirley- thanks for grabbing that container. I was cleaning up last night when I realized I didn't have it. Can I email you through the site so we can figure something out?

    Hope everyone can make it to the fall swap! Lisa

  • roselee z8b S.W. Texas
    10 years ago

    Donna, so sorry to hear that you were 'under the weather' yesterday. Hoping and praying that strength and wellness returns soon. There will always be another swap and we'll look forward to seeing you then.

    Plantmaven Kathy, I had my camera but never got around to taking pictures. Sorry. I'll try to do better next time.

  • honeybunny2 Fox
    10 years ago

    Kathy I really missed you! Wish you could have been there, I think it was the biggest turn out we ever had. I wanted you to met my friend K, He came to meet Tally, he is from the plumeria forum. Barbra

    I'm so glad you could see how it went Kathy, I kept getting busy and didn't get every one in but I think there were 22 in attendance this time. A very nice group too.

  • linda_tx8
    10 years ago

    Donna, so sorry to hear you were ill. I guess I'm lucky to have made it...on Sunday, the infection I'd been fighting went full-fledged and I was really sick. Hopefully, I'll be okay soon with the antibiotics the doctor gave me today. So glad to see everybody on Saturday!

  • rock_oak_deer
    10 years ago

    We enjoyed seeing you too Linda. I hope you feel better soon.

  • beachplant
    10 years ago

    We had a great time!
    Joe-your crinums are, from left to right
    Hymenocallis-giant spider lily, may go dormant in your area.
    Ellen Boussant (not sure on the spelling)-deep pink trumpet shaped flowers
    Crinum americanum-native, goes dormant, spreads by runners, white, pink-tinged open spider type flowers.
    And here's a link to the rose I can never remember the name of and brought cuttings. Mine is much more purple than the pics.
    Tally HO!

    It was our first swap outing and we just wanted to say thanks to everyone. We only took eight plants to swap, but everyone was so helpful and generous. We had a great time meeting with everyone and hope to see you at the fall meet. Hopefully, we'll have more interesting plants to swap. Being newbies, we sure learned a lot. We really enjoy looking at all the pictures of the different gardens that are posted. They give us great ideas for our own place.
