    Hi Fortunegardener -

    I would love amaryllis bulbs! I'll bring you some of that native passion flower and some rose cuttings - which roses do you want? Buff Beauty is really putting on a show right now, and Mermaid is its regular thug self doing extremely well :) Seven Sisters only flowers in the spring.

    If you want any roses other than those three, let me know ASAP as they're in Quitman and I have to plan the trip to get them right before the swap.

    Yahoo! I'm getting excited about the swap!!

    Hi, Gang.
    All you "oldies" and newcomers as well. I didn't look hard.
    but failed to see the date posted. If it is the 17th, I will
    be south of Houston seeing my grandson, a senior, run cross- country and march in the band. If the meet is on the 24th,
    let me know....have a fair assortment that I could bring.

    Weldon!

    so good to hear from you!

    Be sure you come to the new (or maybe temporary) meeting place-
    our old place in the park is has been pre-empted this year, so we're going to the pavilion just past the ballfields & bleachers on Colonial in front of the zoo.

    Easy as pie to get there:

    From I-30, go *south* on University about 9/10ths of a mile & turn left on Colonial into the zoo entrance, & follow the road around to the bleachers;
    the driveway/parking area is just past the bleachers.

    Please look at my list & let me know what else I can bring you!

    Lin:

    Do you need lycoria radiata (spider lily)?
    The Carolina Buckthorn would be a good addition to the birds' smorgasbord here!

    Serenitymoon:

    You know how you can always find more plants that you want every time you re-read a catalog?...
    Well.
    I went back & re-read your list...

    *If* you still have enough lavender mint & pink roses to share, I can bring you any/some/maybe all of these:

    coral honeysuckle, schoolhouse lily, irises, easy salvias (they're all easy at my house or they'd be goners for sure!).
    PLMK.

    Sylvia, I would LOVE some lycoris radiata! I am a bulb FANATIC, we must be twins separated at birth. Glad you'll like the Carolina Buckthorn.

    In case the sassafrass doesn't live, I brought a Mrs. Gonzales rose if that would do. I've had problems digging up the sassafrass - seems they're all connected at the root.

    Time for me to go through my plants and get READY!! Yes, it will take me most of the week ... things are MOSTLY together but you know how that goes.

    Hi Element! I will DEFINITELY bring you all the ChiChi ruellias you can handle - I can put a bunch in a box or something as I don't have big pots. I looked in the greenhouse today and have a puny fig potted up, will look at the ones that rooted in the side yard to see if there's one that looks better.

    We can work out the trade there ... :)

    Hi Serenitymoon -

    I also have for you from your want list - if you still want it - Jerusalem artichoke. It only has one stem but the roots ('chokes) are fairly nice. This one was a straggler that I missed when digging them up.

    I'm fairly certain I have the passion flower for you, and will check on the fig cuttings today once the rain has passed. I may have to dig some up, the ones in the greenhouse have met MickeyMouse who has moved in for the winter...

    I would love the Hawaiian Crinum Spiderlily!! If you have any of the onions or elephant garlic as well, that would be awesome.

I apologize to those I had pretrades with, and I'll email you also to let you know. I hope it's not too much of an inconvenience.

    I will miss ya'll & will plan to see everyone in the spring. Donna usually rides with me & so she also will be absent from the swap.

    HI Fortune -

    Sorry - I can't bring Folksinger as it is in east Texas not the DFW area.

    FWIW, I got this rose at Redenta's - and at a 75% off sale - guess they didn't know what they had!
