| Judy, I have butterfly vine, will get some going for you. I have Mexican flame vine too if I can find the end of it!! I think some is rooted around the back. Jim, lycoris is up so I'll dig them for you. I would like a chalice vine & an eyeball plant. Anything in particular you want from the island, besides lycoris? |
|
| Thanks Tally. I'll put your name on an Eyeball plant and a Chalice vine. I've already got Judy down for a Mexican Flame vine and a Yellow Butterfly vine, so no need to start 'em less you just want to. Jim |

| Judy, I'll bring you cuttings of the double white brug 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. Tally HO! |

| 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. |
|
| 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 |
|
| 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, 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 |
|
| Margie I will bring your sugarcane for you. Pepa |
|
| 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 |
|
| Once again I upgraded my list. I am sticking my upgrades in different places in my list so you may need to look at my new list completely each time. Hush Judy. (LOL) |
|
| OK. Check out the poppy seeds I just listed. If you want some let me know. |

| The swap was a great success with tons of wonderful plants. I want to thank everyone who shared their plants with me. Judy says she is so sorry she couldn't make it but she has bronchitis she is trying to get over. She will try and complete the trades when she gets better. Again I want to thank everyone for a super time. |

| 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 |
|
| Many thanks! To every one of you that helped make it such a great plant swap. I had a wonderful time and got some plants I had been wanting,and some I didn't know I wanted.lol Thank you to everyone I got plants from too. Pepa |
