CLOSED: '09 Fall Frenzy Swap #8

Here is the hebe speciosa in plantfiles


http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/76574/

question do i put the seeds promised to me on my list on the other link so star knows? i am finally caught up on it and wanted to know. or can we make a thread for it?

Everyone is supposed to put oinked packets for whatever individual piggies into individual baggies when they send their trade (you mark the outside of the baggie with the person's DG name and how many packets you have for them).

I doubt Starlight will have the time to double check to see that you received all the seeds you oinked for... getting those seeds to you is the job of the person who offered them, and in a swap this big you have to accept that sometimes mistakes happen... but the odds are very good that you will be very happy with the selections in your trough!

Which is to say... if it makes it easier for you to keep track, you can certainly make a list of the seeds promised to you... and you can post that list on the "lists" thread if that's convenient... but it's really not something Starlight needs to know.

On the other hand, when people are filling your baggies it can be handy for them to double check your "lists" post and make sure they've included everything you asked from them!

I have 2 trades of gloriosa lily seeds and 5 trades of Tecoma Stans bush if anyone is interested.

Ok, time for seed promotion! I still have 5! packets of this beauty. It was an absolutely gorgeous plant. Is STILL flowering, in a pot, on my deck, and loaded with cool seed pods. Nice neat, small tree-like form (got about 30-36" in a 14" pot). I'm going to try planting in the ground next year and see how big it gets.

Devil's Trumpet, Black currant swirl, Datura metel

OK I had to go to springfield today to see my mom but blocking the coffe pot worked...I came home and it's all framed in!!!!!! I am really happy dancing now, But I will save the actual dancing part until the windows are in and sealed and I can tart putting plants in it!

Hey you guys, if anyone has any extra vegetable seeds would you consider looking at the seed forum and a thread asking for anyone to help.... It's for a very worthy cause if you can help out. please go look. Thanks. The thread is by cajuninky.

Sharon, Andrea's medow rue gets 6-8' the plantfiles say and that big around and it says light shade :) I was thinking of planting it by the house but guess it will be a field plant for me lol I was looking in the comments and one person said it looks better with others around it and it reseeds! I like this plant lol

Sorry, I tried to upload another pic & my puter went haywire. Lynn, you may have the purple thing :) imzadi, I got you down for some too.

I have a meadow rue plant I started from seed. Don't know it's particular name. It is in it's 3rd year. It is about 3 ft. tall now, only 1 1/2 ft wide. But it is in a little more than partial shade, and it is not in 'moist' soil. It blooms every year and I love it. Mine does not have the yellow stamens that 'sparkle' has.
I would love to grow a plant of your 'sparkle' Mygypsyrose. Just a couple seeds would be great.


This is what I found on the web for 'Sparkle Meadow Rue'
Botanical Name: Thalictrum rochebruneanum

Sun Exposure: Partial Shade/Full Sun

Height/Habit: 4 - 6'

Spread: 12 - 18"

Spacing: 12 - 18"

Hardiness Zone: 5 - 9

Flower Form: Tiny flowers with prominent yellow stamens.

Flower Color: Lavender pink with yellow stamens.

Flowering Date: Mid to late summer.

Planting Requirements: Prefers a light shade area with rich soil and good moisture content.

Soil Requirements: Rich organic soil and even moisture.

Growth Rate: Moderate

Ok, you've made me curious this morning, so I've been looking into the Meadow Rue.
Mine is definitly not T. rochebrunianum. I have T. aquilegiifolium which only gets 2 to 3 ft tall, so I guess mine is fully grown now.

Sorry, I never thought to save seeds from it. I will next year.

If you want to read more about Meadow Rue and there is some seed starting information here too, go to

Andrea, I'd love to try your Meadow Rue if ya still have some.

Any ideas what Ant's purple bloom is? Kinda looks like a Penstemon.

Could the pretty purple be a Incarvillea? Description says ferny foliage...
