    Tami I want an ice cream banana!
    I still have to get out & dig up stuff. I think there are pups on the yellow chinese banana, I know the dwarf cavedish has pups if you want either of those.
    I'll look at the alocasia/colocasia & see what's there, Lime zinger did NOT come back for me this year. Neither did bat wing.

    I have cuttings of a beautiful plumeria, it looks almost like those starlight mints, that a friend gave me if you want one. Otherwise it's slaughter pink or unknowns.

    Also I found one orchid vine seedling in the garden if you want it, Bauhinia _________ I have the "real" name somewhere, little pink orchid flowers in clusters. Typical bauhinia leaves, close at night. I'm pretty sure this goes dormant in the winter.

    So far I've been digging & will have more by the time of the trade. There are agaves/aloes that have outgrown the deck, water plants, stuff that has sprouted everywhere, things that are tooo big..

    I PROMISE I'll get a list together.
    TallyHO!

    Hello everyone -
    Sorry but I'm sick with a 102 fever. I don't think I can make the swap at Mercer tomorrow, and I really don't want to share this bug with others...

    Hopefully I will see you at the spring time swap.

  • jardineratx
    16 years ago

    Beth, I was just thinking...the cypress vine is an annual and will be "kaput" pretty soon. I can take you some seeds (which are sure-fire) and another plant from the list above. I also have some pipevine (aritilochia elegans). Let me know what you think.
    Tami, I would love a start of black bamboo, but probably don't have anything to entice you with.
