* May 15th * East TX RU Loves Lookout #1 Trades
Josephine,
I will bring you 4 salvia cocinea and you know how I love asters, so let's swap four for four!
Charlene
Wow!! that is a great deal, thank you very much Charlene!!!
Phyllis, can you a link to my list, Please?
Josephine.
Karen: just wanted you to know that I did divide my pink water lily, and so far it looks like I should have one to bring you. Don't know if it will bloom for you this year, but right now it's definitely growing. It is a named plant, but I lost the tag several years ago and don't remember.
I will also have some starts of blue pickerel reed (which I got from Sheila a few years ago). I had to clean the bacopa out of it, so it all got divided up into pieces, but it's already growing back. The bacopa itself didn't much like being thinned, but it will be fine by May.
If some things don't start showing signs of life in the next few days, I will be looking for some replacement plants. Anyone have firespike, root beer plant, or Pride of Barbados?
Also, my "online-friends-iris-bed" is gorgeous this year. I really love seeing the flowers and thinking of the person who gave them to me. So, if you have irises you can dig, and I don't already have one from you, I'd love to have one to add. This bed is not manicured or planned - it's solely for flowers that remind me of friends. So I don't care about color or bloom time or names or anything like that. I mean, if you give me a named iris I will certainly mark it :), but what I enjoy most is thinking of who it came from.
Oh, forgot to mention. I have given away all the good-sized columbine seedlings that I have coming up that I know for sure are the native yellow ones. But I noticed yesterday that I have some new seedlings coming up. Here's the rub - they are tiny and I do not know which plant they came from. I have a mix of colors out there and these babies look like a pod fell in one spot. They are probably red, but they could also turn out to be yellow, Cardinal (red and white), or Rocky Mountain (blue & white). It'll be a surprise. Anyone interested?
Edited to add, duh, I guess I should've said columbines somewhere in this post. LOL.

Anyone who has been saving newspaper, the plastic bags that cover your newspaper, or the shopping bags that are plastic, I need them. If you don't have a use for them, please kindly share them with me.
Also, anyone bringing anything that you want me to deliver to Dave and Trish, please put their name on the plant and who it is from, so they will know who to thank. Otherwise, I'll just get all the credit and you won't get the thanks that you so deserve.
Thank you,
Charlene
deliver to Dave and Trish?? They are not coming to the ETRU?

Hey Mindy, glad you are coming! I would like some Hosta please....look at my list, I will be adding more later also.
Hello Mindy, I too would like some Hostas as well as red monarda and daffodils. I am going to add to my haves list this weekend so be on the lookout.
I have not posted my haves or wants yet but should have some goodies.
Go to Cherokee Co. plant sale to see the trees, shrubs and other things we will have at the sale. I will list the things from that sale to the RU. Also will have some other things.
Just too much going on for me to multitask right now.
Still the dude but a year older.
Hi Mindy....if you've enough,...I'd like some of the red monarda and the purple/white Iris....I have some La Iris,.... that I'll be posting soon,...that I'll designate some for you. Thanks, Lee
PS: Any particular Lantana you're lookin' for?
Mindy, I got you on the butterfly bush and coneflowers. Both of mine are just plain old species, if that's okay. I put some echinacea hybrids out there once with the natives... the natives ate them for breakfast. LOL.
I just bought a Texas betony, and I think I'm in love. Does anyone have any extras to spare?
I also have hostas...these are 1yr old plants I wintersowed from seed in 2008. I probably have enough for 5-6 folks. Anyone interested in some???
Chell I would love some hostas please
Chell, I too would like some Hostas. Thanks.
Maggi says 'I think I may go 'independent' and make a few trades of my own this year LOL!' but I see she has not posed a thing, someone should give her a nudge and wake he up.
Does anyone know who gave me some mums last year? It was 2 plants - one pink and one purple?? They were fairly small flowers but LOVELY last year. I'd trade something good for some more. I'm wondering if it was Charlene???
Mindy
Thanks Mindy....I'll make sure I've got you tagged on those! Lee
Hey Ken,...I'd like one or yr nanners and some bicolor violets if you have enough!
Are you settin' up again at the CCMG plant sale?
Mindy
I may be the mum guy. I brought some called Early or Country Girl. Neat pinkish with yellow center. Can bring more for those that want them.
Leave Maggie alone, I have not posted either!! :')
After the sale I will post my list.
Ken and Karen, I've got the hostas marked for you both.
Lee, we hope to make it to the CCMG plant sale and look forward to seeing you and others. I have lots of Bananas and need to get them out of here and also hundreds of the bicolor Violets so how many do you want?
I would love to have some hostas please. What may I bring for you?
Charlene
DDdude are those the ones that are a blueish color? I have some also that started from yours ...I also have some yellow and white ones
Has anyone's brugs started coming up yet? mine aren't doing a thing so I am asking so I know if I should add them to my wants list LOL
Mindy if no one has asked yet Could I have the hydreangea (rooted)
Charlene.... I got you on the hostas. I'll also try to save up newspapers & plastic bags for you.
Could you spare an alocasia cucullata for me??? ;)
Thanks, Chell
Thanks Ken - A couple of nanners and a dozen violets or so would be nice
About the Bananas I have, everything froze down to the ground and so far nothing has started back up. I dug up several so I could plant a Pink Dogwood and some of these corms are 16in. across and weigh over 50 Lb. I do not think they will ever grow from the center again but will send up pups for the next few years. I will try to find smaller ones but most of them are lost.
Charlene are Dave and Trish not coming to the the RU?
Oh man,...sorry to hear that....I hope they come back strong!
