Plant Swap thread for Bill's 9/18 Pepperell, MA RU

Thanks Sharon. And don't worry....there will also be a free-for-all plant swap for sure! The Big List (lol) is just to help people not to have to read through all the posts several times to keep in mind what they are supposed to bring for people. Someone asked me to do it last year when we had ours, and it seemed to work well for people who came. I've been to other RUs without any plant thread at all, and that worked fine too. I don't think there's any ONE way to do this.....just want to help Bill out any way I can. I think if everyone just showed up with plants, it would work out just fine, but I'm not inclined to dig up a bunch of plants that no one wants and then stick Bill with having to do something with them. LOL

I'm not worried, Louise. Just appreciative of your efforts.

Louise, I was looking at the haves and you have seeded geraniums listed for me...I don't have those, Allison does.

linking to the post is a great idea Louise

Anyone want a blackberry plant? These are thorn-less, semi-erect plants that grow 6 or 7 feet high and produce a large berry on second year canes. They reproduce by the tips of a branch touching the ground - so they really aren't hard to control.

yes please!!!!!

Anyone want seeds for Hopi Red Dye Amaranth - I'm going to have a lot of them. LOL

you can add to my list 2 pink bleeding hearts... (think you wanted one Louise)

I can't name names off the top of my head right now, but I definitely have some hosta that need to be thinned, dramatically. I also have a lot of DL's that could use some dividing, again, can't name names. If a DL has lost its tag, I will write the descrpition, to the best of my ability down. I may have some other odds and ends. I may also try and do some cuttings, I hope they will be ready by then.

Again, please mark me down as tentative.

I have enough Blue Butterfly Scabiosa, if any one wants some. It is sterile but I divided it last year and it really took off. I read somewhere it needs to be divided often to keep it vigorous.

I'll take some of that Blue Butterfly Scabiosa, Meredith, please.

I am also bringing some unnamed Hosta ( it will get big ) in addition to the daylilies.

I am looking for some phlox and lily bulbs.

PS:The phlox I got a few years ago at Kasia's has multiplied and bloomed beautiful.

I have the pale yellow scabiosa if anyone wants some. It's actually almost white.
Also have Gaillardia 'Tokajer' .
Maybe some phlox, will have to see which ones can be divided. I have several different ones, never realized I had so many until this year:)

Thom, I'll tentatively take both a DL & a hosta.

Robindog,
are you talking about the DL and Hosta's I am bringing......if so I am not Thom :-)
Brigitte

I will take any leftover hostas and day lilies as I am planning new beds for my neighbor's yard to cut down on the lawn mowing. Doesn't matter what kind or size - they all grow up and look beautiful in a year or so.

Okay Jen I'lll be sure to bring it! : ) I can bring David's Lavender Phlox if that's one you'd like Elgantyne.

Elgantyne, Thom posted he might come, & might bring those plants, so if he is coming, I'd take some....

Robindog,
I misunderstood...LOL...I thought you thought I WAS Thom ...oh man I have to start slowing down reading the posts.

Meredith79,
I will be delighted to have some of your phlox.

OT I drove by our old homestead yesterday and saw all of my phlox blooming,hundreds and hundreds of them...beautiful sight,especially Nicki.

I was visiting the guy-who-starts-seed and realized that he still has some started torch lilies or they are called Red Hot Pokers. I will bring some if any one is interested. Here is the DG link http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/818/

Elgantyne, I will make sure to bring them for you. :)

Thank You :-)

I'd be interested in trying out the red hot pokers, AYankeeCat. I've never grown them before, and haven't seen them around here, but it looks they should be hardy.

Memory I would love some pokers as well

if anyone wants white balloon flower seedlings... I spotted a few over the weekend

i'll take some white balloons allison

you got it

I'll take some if available.

I've been away for 5 days because we had guests from out of state. I've tried to update the lists above from the posts that are new to me, but I invite anyone who notices any omissions or errors to please let me know so I can correct them.

you got it Eglantyne... I had better start digging

I'd like some white balloon as well, if you have enough, onewish.

I saw several out there.. should be good

Thanks.

Elgantyne, I have some garden phlox for you. It may be orange, red or hot pink...not sure which ones, they are in too shady a spot and not blooming for me.

I can bring some Happy Returns daylilies, noid phlox, sweet woodruff, maybe a Heritage raspberry. I might be able to divide a white astrantia.
I would like hostas as I am working on a shade garden.

Thanks flowerjen,
I will love to have the phlox and it doesn't matter about the color,it'll be a surprise :-)

debilu,
If you will divide the white astrantia could I please have some.I am also bringing your pot back to you where the violets were.

I have 2 Rainbow Candy DLs if anyone is interested.

Ooo oooo me me!!!! Hand in the air. I'll take one please.

i still have to plant the candy lillies from the seeds at louise and hanks. about a dozen little starters or more.
