Would you be interested in an Alocasia? - I have Hilo Beauty and Illustris, also another pretty variegated one - I'm not sure of the name.

    I am going to try to post my list of Haves and my wish list, but I need to apologize first. I have not had the time to prepare for this the way I would like. Most anything I bring will be just dug up and not nicely potted. Also I do not know the correct names for most of the plants I have or even the things I want.
    If anyone would like, I can bring:

    Holly bushes

    Small green shrub �" maybe dwarf Yaupon

    Orange Day Lilies

    White Lilies

    Purple Iris

    Purslane multicolor �" these are in pots but were just dug up a week
    ago. Still experiencing some shock.

    Chocolate Plant - Pseuderanthemum alatum

    Root Beer Plant, Hoja Santa, Mexican Pepperleaf Piper auritum �" These are just a few tiny volunteers coming up

    Aloe Vera

    Packaged seed from Wildflower Festival in 2009 �" Forget-Me-Not, Sunflower, Zinnia, Black Eyed Susans and Tomato Ace 55vf

    Can bring leaves from African Violets if anyone wants to try rooting them.

    I have one houseplant. The tag says it's a Dieffenbachie Exotica. Nice plant but is not doing well with the neglect I give.

    Wish List:

    Cardinal Plant
    Pink Jasmine
    Party Time or any Begonias
    Turks Cap (smaller variety)
    Shade plants
    Coleus
    Moss Rose
    Caladeums
    Oncore Azaleas
    Knock Out Roses
    Any Christmas Cactus
    Crown of Thorns

    Thanks everyone,
    Karen

    C. Miller,

    I may have some white Spider Lilies. I won't know till Friday. We moved this year. My daughter is living in our old house, but she is not a plant person. The beds have not gotten watered much and are totally overgrown. I am digging out things when I am there. I know some Spider lilies made it, but am bringing them here. I will check to see if there are more.

    Thanks,
    Karen

    I wish I could go, maybe next year. I will be able to finally go to Galveston in January. It will be my first time. I owe Tally plants, I promised to her, when she lost hers due to Ike. I lost all the plants I started for her, when I got my new greenhouse and fried them. As, well as all the new tropical plants I bought from Puerto Rico, It was very sad. I did not realize how hot it gets in a greenhouse. I think Kristy made the same mistake when she got hers. If I do not loose my plants again this December, I will try and make my promise to Tally come true. My husband goes down every January to a meeting in Galveston, this will be the first time, I will be able to go, now that I am retired. Barbra,

    Karen, I can take you a young (4" pot) of Pam Puryear Turk's cap. It's pink, blooms all summer/fall and is not terribly large. If you have enough chocolate plant, I would love a start of it.
