I did 6 swaps this season (hope I didn't forget any, lol). What a great experience and have several to go out this next week. Hmm, most popular plant for me was iris, but then again 3 were specific to the iris forum so guess that doesn't count,lol. Of the other trades there weren't any repeats which is suprising. Truely there is such a diversity of plant material available. Just last week I went to a nursery that had sooo many unusual plants I just loved it and showed that fact with the amount of plants I took home, lol. Of course it helped that many were on the $1 table (end of season sales). Thinking of it later, I probably should have gotten more for all those trades next spring,lol. Will try to get my newly aquired plants in the ground and see if I have any planting time left to go shopping again. Egads!!!!! Was thinking I need to keep track of what I sent to others in case I trade with those same people again. Any suggestions on what others do? Pix has wild sunflower in back, Daisies, lavender, malva, unopened Catanche and Veronica. Just replaced sunflowers with Eupatorium (joe pye weed), Talllll aster (pink and white ), Veronicastrum v. blue and Agastache Tallll (pink/orange). Kathy.
