Have plants of all sizes.
Looking for other things that do well here in zone 8B/9A.
No trades to CA, LA, TX, HI or AZ
CLOSED: Have : CLerodendron known as the Pagoda Plant
Hi gothqueen,
I'd love to trade for one of these but I don't have any plants listed on my "have" list and you don't have many listed on your "want" list so I don't know where to start. :)
Could you give me an idea of the types of plants that you are wanting. I'm assuming you want tropicals since that's mainly what I see on your "have" list.
Thanks so much,
Danita
Oh, I also have new 4" and 7" Kord Ultra azalea pots that I could trade if you are interested.
You can check my marketplace listing for a photo of what I'm talking about: http://davesgarden.com/products/market/view/5051/
Danita,
I do love tropicals but I also grow a lot of non-tropicals.
I am interested at the moment in double and triple brugmansia of any color. I am also interested in aroids that I don't have. I am interested in rooted vines, passifloras, thunbergias, etc that are hardy here
I am interested in other clerodendrons
I am interested in gingers (they are perennials here)
I am interested in blooming tropical water lilies
I am actually interested in most things, LOL but NOT hibiscus in any form, hardy or tropical
Hello again,
I'm not sure if I have much that would be of interest to you. I have some smaller plants that I could divide of Xanthosoma jeoquinii 'Lineatum' or Curcuma (Hidden Ginger.) I'd want to pot them up and make sure they have a good root system before sending though. I have a Crinum bulb of what I'm pretty sure is 'Ellen Bosanquet' (it has very dark pink blooms.)
I could root some cuttings of a new Asystasia gangetica with really pretty yellow margined leaves. I just got it at the UGA trial garden sale. I think it's called 'Ivory Ribbons' and there's a pic at http://www.glasshouseworks.com/trop-a2.html.
I have some Beckett Pond Fertilizer that I could trade too since you must have a pond for the waterlilies. See: http://davesgarden.com/products/market/view/3639/
Let me know if anything is of interest.
Thanks! :)
Danita
Gosh, that is a pretty plant - need to see if I can get one!!!
They are very common here in FL
Hmmm, I live in Florida and just got back from several nurseries in the Tampa area - didn't see a single one!
the independent (not box store) nurseries here carry lots of clerodendrons...the blue butterfly (ugandese), speciosa (the red one that is much smaller then this one) bungeii, thomsonaii, wallichii, quadrilocare (probably misspelled that) which isn;t hardy here surprisingly as all the others are, and this one whose botanical name I always forget.
Gina, the botanical name is Clerodendrum paniculatum. I'm going to Homestead, Fla. in Nov. - will look for one then.
Do you still have these? If so, I have
erythrina crista galli http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/38374/
some plumeria seedlings (curly pink and curly white flowers)
corkscrew vine http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/1884/
spiral ginger http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/2147/
Let me know. thanks, julie
Hi Julie,
thanks for asking but no, I should close this thread. I am not trading them at present outside of Florida
Gina,
Have you tried to move yours. I have a full size Clerodendrum speciosissimum that grew out the bottom of the pot and has offsets next to it in the ground. I love it and have at least 4-5 species of butterflies visit it daily but I want to move it to the back of the yard.
I'm not sure how it would transplant. I guess even if it does, I still have the original in the pot but I like the clumping effect.
Jan...
I have transplanted several different types of clerodendrons all over the place here. They don;t seem to resent it at all. They might wilt a little, but its been my experience that they re-establish very readily. I've moved divided and transplanted C. wallichii, C. incisum, C. bungeii, C. thompsonaii, C. paniculatum, C. ugandese and C. sahlengii
Thanks. I'll try it. I'm constantly composting the bungei because it spreads everywhere but speciosissimum is a bit more behaved for me. Now if I could get rid of c. indicum.LOL
Excuse me..but why no trades from Louisiana??! Whatcha' got against us?
Johanna the Cajun
In my yard I have a Clerodendron trichotomum tree.and smaller volunteers. It does spread from seed. Butterflies LOVE the blooms. It is hardy here in 8a-Louisiana.
The photo is from the net.
I am not trading across Florida state lines any more. I recently re-read the regulations for Florida and they do not want us to receive any plants from other states that have not been inspected by official sources, which arrive without tags
Where are the regs that you are reading this information?
I've posted this link before when this stuff has come up. I am not the plant police, please don't get me wrong, I have no stake in what any of you do as far as trading goes and the legality or illegality of it.
But if you are really interested in following the FL Agriculture laws (or the AG laws of ANY state), go to this website:
www.nationalplantboard.org
and look at the Florida material (or the material for your state)
It will give you an overview. For more in depth material you can look at Florida's site directly (or the state site that affects you)
You guys have to do what you feel is correct for you, if you are comfortable going against the published laws that govern this sort of stuff, well, that's up to you. I am not comfortable with it, so I am not trading outside of FL anymore.
Very interesting. I am aware that there are many naturalized non native plants that have damaged the native plant environment by crowding them out. In Louisiana we have many such problem plants ruining the woods where I live. Japanese privet, Chinese tallow, Japanese honeysuckle and too many others. You are taking the responsible position.
Johanna
Its not only non-native plants. The more important issue, actually, is plant-borne pests.
Gina,
From what I'm reading on the USDA page, even mailing plants within the state require inspection. Hard to determine though if they are referring to a commercial enterprise or everyone.
http://www.doacs.state.fl.us/pi/publications/brochures/plant_registration_certification.pdf
http://www.doacs.state.fl.us/pi/plantinsp/docs/brief_summary.pdf
I agree, its hard to know.
What is CERTAIN is, that if you are selling plants or mailing out of state, or receiving from or buying from unlicensed uninspected people from out of state, then that's a no.
For "in state", it seems like its applicable to those selling plants only. And yet there are paragraphs that say "any PERSON". Not 'any SELLER".
I think its probably safe to send things within the state to each other as trades, not sales, except for things you KNOW you definitely should not be moving around the state, like citrus. What do you think?
I mean, for those of us who do go to 'in person' trades and drive our plants to different counties and cities, there would be absolutely no difference between hauling a load of plants to trade at an in person trade in Tampa and mailing a box to Tampa.
It's funny how they think though when you consider for example how long say Miami is from Tallahasee. How is getting a plant from there different from getting one in say Louisiana which is close to the same distance from Tallahassee. Or how about just over the state line. Do bugs & viruses know there is a state line? LOL
I think that they only know there is a state line when you can blame someone for them crossing it, LOL
Even though it may not be strictly by the law in some (or all) states, plants by the thousands are mailed all around the US. I always write "live plants" on my boxes. None have ever been returned as undeliverable and the receiving person always gets their plants. There are many groups such as ours who encourage their members to trade all over the country. So the plant diseases have been spread around for many years.
I do feel that traders should be as careful as possible not to send diseased plants.
What is the cleanest way to mail plants? remove all soil,even rinse the roots? Wash plants in something that will get them free of all possible molds, funguses, etc?
Flicker,
one of the problems is that some pests are invisible to the naked eye and infest the plant where they can;t be seen. This is the problem with nematodes. The live in the roots of the plants. It doesn;t matter if you pot things in sterile media, bareroot them and wash off the dirt. The pest is still there. It takes a microscopic examination to detect them.
The hoops you have to jump through to be certified nematode free are many and expensive. Everything has to be bench grown at least 18" off the ground (because nematodes can infect pots sitting on the ground, even cement, through the holes). Everything has to be potted in sterile non-soil containing media. Potting media cannot be stored on the ground but has to be stored in impermeable containers, up off the ground. They have to come out and take samples of the soil in your growing area, and sample all of the roots of all of your plants. Its lengthy and involved.
Oh yes, nematodes are a big problem. I have read the difficulty of getting rid of them in soil. Huge.
But, I do love to trade plants from all over. Most traders try to be as careful as possible. I'm not much of a gambler but I will continue to trade hoping for the best!
