    Thanks Jim. I looked it up and found 3 different types. I wonder why they would call this beautiful Allamanda a rubber vine.

    Jim, you got the rubber vines, I dug up sprouts throughout the garden, they are looking good so I'm hopeful. It does got dormant though.

    Margie-called a rubber vine cause the leaves look like small ones from a rubber tree and it has that white latex sap.

    Hey Jim. I would like to try another white bleeding heart vine and your mystic salvia if you have it. If you don't have the salvia then maybe a Skullcap 'Red Fountain'?

    Is this scullcap the same as the pink one except red? I can't find anything on the internet about it.

    I have a almond verbena for you. It smells so goooood.
    margie

  • bossjim1
    16 years ago

    Hi Margie, I didn't grow any 'Mystic Spires Blue' for the swap this fall, but will put your name on a White Bleeding Heart vine and a Skullcap 'Red Fountain'. The Skullcap has a mounding habit. I got it at Maas last spring. The tag says Scutellaria suffrutescens 'Red Fountain'.
    Jim

  • sunny43
    Original Author
    16 years ago

    That's alright Jim. I didn't get around to taking any cuttings from the one you gave me a couple of swaps ago.

    I will bring you your sweet almond for the Skull cap red and bleeding heart vine. Is there anything else you may want?
    margie

  • bossjim1
    16 years ago

    Margie, if you have plenty, you might bring me a Green eyed rudbeckia. Your's is quite different from the 'Irish eyes' that I have.
    Jim

  • pepa
    16 years ago

    Margie I will bring your sugarcane for you.
    Pepa

  • sunny43

    I will be happy to do that Jim. You are now down for:
    1 sweet almond
    1 GE rudbeckia

    Pepa. Thank you for the sugarcane

    Hello Everyone,

    Just a note to all I made pre trades with. My Apolagies to you. I planned on being at the swap but I thaught it was better to stay home than get out amongst people & spread my bronchitis to everyone. As soon as I get over this I want to get with everyone because I still have all your plants here. Thanks for your patience. Judy

  • pepa
