Secret Trade-What Did You Get

Mine came in yesterday, I'll post the contents later.

Mine came today from Janiejoy. I received Chives & Parsley (which my daughter will love, as she wanted to start an herb garden). And a no name Pink Perennial. I will post a pic later of it, maybe we can get an ID on it? Thanks again JanieJoy. I really enjoy the plants and am out to plant them now ;)

Sprouts28 .... Me too !

Tammmy, I am so glad it got to you ok and am delighted to tell you that more from my garden to yours is on the way. I sent a bunch of seeds under separate cover so nothing would get wet or squished.

I hope we can find out what that pink flower is. I enjoyed it all summer and the bees LOVE it. Don't be surprised if you find some cilantro growing beside it in the spring... my cilantro toppled over onto these guys and it was heavy with corander seed.

Enjoy!

Love in Christ,
Janie

Hi all, I got my plants yesterday, thanks to my secret trader,not sure what her user name is .I got obediant plant,red bee balm,feverfew,and red csnna lillies,and a tropical taro plant for my pond. Thanks again secret trader,Happy Gardening. Rene~(Rbotanica)

Hi everyone,

Got my secret trade Wednesday, what wonderful plants. I received from Ree-- black mondo grass ( I just love the color), pasque flower ( you did have a herb :-) and I didn't have this yet ) cerbascum southern charm, caryopteris worcester gold, globe thistle, geranium striatum and burts bees hand salve ( nice ). I love all of them. This was my first secret trade and really enjoyed it.

Thank-you ree and jody

shannan, i guess i forgot to put my name in there somewhere!!
the purple leaf plant i think is the mini purple ruella.
the tibouchina and the morning glory tree will root extremely well in water. i usually wait until the roots start developing and then ill put it in soil.
did everything make it okay? i was starting to get concerned about the heat and the length of time it was taking to get there. i mailed monday!!
i couldnt resist the oak tree : )
happy planting
jen (MSJen)

Got mine today. No, tiG, it didn't have far to go. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!! tiG sent me a wonderful selection of plants. I got a butterfly ginger, a dark red daylily, Dr Suess brug, hardy geranium, and Passiflora Incarta, ohhhhhhhh and at the bottom of the box was a BENGAL TIGER CANNA. My heart is still racing. LOL. I started collecting cannas this year and I didn't have bengal tiger.
Thanks sooooo much tiG. Thanks to Jody for setting up the secret trades.
Back to the garden I go.

**JODY thanks for this secret trade-its always fun!

Found out what the plant was that I sent Tamlamb...
a rose turtlehead! I'm excited, she already has it in the ground, bless her heart... it looks very happy there.

Now if I could only get MY box??>>>:: being patient, not worrying::

Love you guys
Janie
<{{{{><

Teresa, I really hope they all made it in good condition. I've been wondering if I marked the bengal tiger!!! I'm so glad it's something that you wanted. :)

OneCent, you are quite welcome. Enjoy! Sounds like there have been some really nice boxes. This was so much fun. Thanks again Jody for all your hard work.
Ree

I am starting to worry. I mailed my box out on monday, and have not heard anything yet. The person that recieved my secret hosta trade recieved it on wednesday and they were both going about the same distance. I sure hope It is recieved today! sue

I have not recieved mine either but I have had so many others come in the mail I guess it is for the best!

Hi All In addition to the Great plants JanieJOy sent me the other day, I received in the mail today the following seeds:

Rudbeckia Nitida
Atlantis Orange Marigold
Cosmos Sensation Mixed
Cosmos Burgundy
and Rudbeckia, maybe (black eyed susans)

thanks JanieJoy
Tamlamb

I hope I get mine tomorrow or that my trader is wating untill I return on the 16th as I will be leaving Monday. My husband should be home by the 14th or 15th but if I get a package after Monday it will have to sit at the post office untill one of us gets home... LOl And I cxan just see my husband looking at it wondering what he's supposed to do with it!! LOL

I hope I get mine, too... it's getting cold and nasty outside and I'd hate to see my plant die in the un-heated Post Office over the weekend. :(

Glad tamlamb got her seeds, though! That was supposed to be PRIORITY MAIL, tamlamb... and it took double the time it was supposed to take. Looks like maybe the PO hasn't recovered fully yet from 911.

Love in Christ,
Janie

Hi all. My uncle died Tuesday and we had to go ut of town. Secret Trader, if you are out there and are worried about your trade being received with no response I am truly sorry I have been away for a funeral. Hope they are fine in the shade, or possibly at my neighbors house. Maybe they haen't come yet and will come tomorrow in the mail when i get home.

Hi all! I got my plants today from "

"eyes"

oh......still waiting...... oh...... sue

Bromman... I responded to your other post, but I'm glad you you're pleased! I just love giving & it's even more fun when I read your response ;) Regards...

"eyes"

You are so very welcome. I had to wait for a day off. Sorry you had to wait so long for your package. I felt that they would be safe tho because they were bulbs/rhizomes.

Enjoy!!!

Teresa

guilt guilt.. I was waiting for frost to dig.. no more.. the box willbe on the way tomorrow..wentout in the rain to get them.. secret .. later will send more. hope is enough .. so much fun.. but worry not enough.. but the garden will grow........ you all sound like the greatest of people.. Glad to be a part.. THANKYou Bon

Got my trade from Bon!!! Thank you Bon, the stuff is nice.
In my box were the following items:
Plants:
2 mints... don't know what kind, but they smell divine
1 lavender
pennyroyal
cannas or callas (we'll see next year)
2 glads
red & white and yellow dahlias
tiger lilies
elephant ear
unknown hosta

seeds::
chives
mixed sunflowers
golden margarite
zinnias
cockscomb
columbine

You guys will have to help me figure out what to do with everything, since I don't know what goes in now and what should be saved. I hope the stuff is ok since I have to work from 7:00 a.m. till 11:00 p.m. tomorrow and 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. the next day... I only do this twice a year, bad timing for my growing season!

I hope the stuff will be ok. I don't know whether to bring it inside or leave it outside, my logic tells me let it stay cool rather than in the warm house... am I right?

Thanks, Bon, for sending. And don't worry about it being late. I've done lots of such things myself. I know how these things go... and yes, I'd love some more calla lilies. I'm trying for the look of a cottage garden so if you can spare them I'd love to try growing them here.

I am a new stay-home housewife too, with time to garden for the first time in my life, and I am looking forward to having time to craft when it gets too cold outside, too!

Thanks again.

Love in Christ,
Janie
