CLOSED: HAVE: Daylilies, LA Iris, Mints, Perennials

I have the following plants for trade. NONE FOR POSTAGE!! I'm ready to ship these now, so please be ready to ship your end now. I prefer to do large trades of several plants. I won't bother for just one or two plants, due to time and the cost of postage.

I do NOT trade for seeds or cuttings. I send well-rooted plants and expect the same in return. Plants will be sent bareroot with the roots wrapped to keep them moist (except for bearded irises and daylilies). I also ship plants in a box by priority mail and expect the same in return.

What I have are:

MISCELLANEOUS:
*Fallopia Japonica Variegata – variegated Fallopia Bush – small rooted sucker
*Passiflora incarnata – Passion Flower Vine – attracts butterflies, edible fruit
*Moonflower Datura bush seedlings (tiny seedlings, will send several, easy to grow)
*Limelight Artemisia
*Heirloom Bearded Irises – Dark Purple
*Heirloom Bearded Irises – Peach
*Heirloom Bearded Irises – Pale Lavender

*Blue Spiderwort (will be trimmed down for shipping so won't bloom this year for you)

Peggy

what color are your Datura bush seedlings, white? (crossing my fingers)
I would be very interested in them if they are white!
Also your spiders, I just got started into them two years ago and found that I adore them. Isn't the red ribbion a spider too.....I'll go look it up.
Then hunt the yard to see if I have something I can tempt you with.

Peggy, let me check your trade list and journal. I'm sure you have some things I need. Right now we're in the middle of tearing out floors and walls to find a pipe leak. Fortunately it's confined to the laundry room. Let's hope that is where it is. It hasn't flooded my house but has flooded my backyard and has even eroded an area under the house. So I hope we can nip it in the bud.

Elfenqueen, the moonflower datura bush is white and very fragrant. They open at dusk and you can actually watch the blooms unfurl before your eyes. Don't blink or you'll miss the unfurling. They fill the air with a "Lemon Pledge" scent. Here's a picture.

Red Ribbons is a spider. I also have a pretty pink spider whose name has been lost. I'll post a picture of it. I think that's all the spiders I have to trade at the moment.

My pretty pink spider daylily. It's a Mid to Late bloomer with large blooms (7 or 8 inches I guess) and is very tall, about 50 or so inches.

BFC,

Oh no! Hope you find it soon and there's not too much damage.

P

I've sent you a d-mail

Your pretty pink spider daylily looks a lot like Pink Super Spider.

http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/14655/

I have Pink Super Spider too. It's much bigger then my NOID. My Noid has big blooms but the petals and sepals are long and skinny. Pink Super Spider is wonderful isn't it? It's blooming now and I'm just wowed.

Yep! I love it too. Especially when it is in a clump!

Hi, I have to trade for daylillies (no yellow pls) pinecone ginger (unique), amaryllis (clown), narcissis bulbs (paperwhite), Pink Hidden Ginger lily, Horsetail reed (can be planted in a bog or water. I have mine in a large flower trough with no holes at the edge of my garden. I also have 2 nice beautyberry shrubs, a dwarf pink canna (no darn name but real pretty) & Ermine canna. dmail if interested.

Thanks for all the offers. I'm closing this for now. I have too much on my plate right now with all the volunteer work and gardening I've been doing and trying to find this leak. We thought we found, took out part of the laundry room floor and replaced a foot of pipe that was riddle with pinholes, but there's still a leak. Now it seems we have to tear out more floor and then remove the kitchen cabinets in order to access the pipe. He thinks he'll just pull out the entire pipe and replace it with all new pipe...if he can get to it. Part of the pipes are under an addition to our house and part of them go thru the concrete slab. I'm not sure how we'll get it out of the concrete slab so we can replace but he probably has an idea...I hope.

This fall, maybe I'll be ready to trade. I'll have more daylilies to add to the list then. I'm culling out around 50 cultivars along with some more LA irises too.

NancyAnn

Sorry to hear you've still got that leak. You may be able to get the water company to come out and locate the leak if it's in the concrete. They have a machine that can locate it then it's the fun job of jackhammering the floor to get to it. One of my nightmares as we have concrete floors. Had to fix plumbing in spare bedromm but luckily that was located on outside wall so we could tunnel under instead of jackhammering.

We're on a well. The plumbing is all our responsibility. None of that icky city water with all its chlorine! LOL

There's only one pipe it could be. He said it's very old copper and it's deteriorating. So he wants to dig it all out (about an 8 ft piece) and replace it. Most of it is under the laundry room floor which is plywood. The rest of the house is concrete slab. So we may have gotten lucky. We'll have to see where it comes up into the kitchen but he's thinking it won't be too difficult. (So good, I'll just back away and let him do it all. LOL)

He's working on a "flip" house right now, so that's his main focus. He should be finished with it soon and have it up for sale and then he'll get back to this leak. He stopped most of it, but there's still a trickle. Carrying my laundry next door is a bit of a hassle, but at least I still have running water for everything else.

I hope you didn't have any major damage from your leak in the guest bedroom. So far, no damage here that we can see...yet.

We've had the 'pin holes' in the copper piping here too. Mostly the pipes to the water heater. Having a leak under the slab is one of our fears too. We wouldn't have any idea where to look for the pipes under the concrete.
Pam

Well,goodluck. I hope you get it fixed soon. Nothing more aggravating than trying,trying and trying with no results. The toilet in the spare bedroom bath flooded the house 3 times or more before we tunneled under the foundation to finally resolve the problem.

Oh what a disaster, Peggy! Flooded 3 times? How awful! I'm glad you finally got it fixed. What a mess to clean up!

I'm fortunate in that the slab to the original part of the house was built on a hill. Don't ask me why--someone didn't know how to use a level I guess or didn't care. My kitchen and bath are in the back part of the house, so if there's a water leak, it runs downhill out the back of the house. In fact, if it's in the right spot, I may not even notice it unless I happen to be outside near the back of the house and notice a wet spot or see water coming out from under the wall. So the downhill slab has actually been a benefit a few times, like when the water heater busted. Only half of the kitchen and bath were flooded. LOL

We were discussing the leak today. He wants to remove the old copper that goes from the laundry room into the kitchen, but it goes into the slab. I thought it might be a problem to get the old copper out of the concrete and put the new pipe in thru the concrete. I suggested just cutting off the old pipe and running the new pipe thru the wall instead. He thinks that's a better idea. Then if there's a leak in the future, we can either remove the kitchen cabinet or remove a section of siding to get to it.

The leak we still have isn't flooding the backyard like before, and he's finishing up a flip house (open house this weekend) so repairing the leak is on hold until his project house is done.
