I still have some plants that need a home... I don't want to bring anything home with me! :)
1 good sized stevia
1 purple coneflower
1 good sized Carolina wolfberry
1 good sized noid plumeria
North Central Texas Fall Roundup Trade Thread, Part 2
Dennis, I could take the Plumeria off your hands :)
Done, Catz!
Dfwdennis
I will take the stevia off your hands and the purple coneflower if no one else wants them.
Thank you Dennis :)
Pat-you've got 'em!
Dennis, I think I'll try the Carolina wolfberry. How much sun/shade can it handle?
Dennis if you don't mind I would like the Stevia. Care for anything from my list?
Great! I've got you all down on my list.
Stephanie, I'm not sure about the optimal conditions. I think it was getting too much shade where I had it and I didn't get many blooms. I don't have a better spot to try it in, so I'm passing it along. It sound like it can take full sun or partial shade, from what I have read.
I'll give it a go and see what happens, then. I may end up sharing it as well. lol
To those who I have contacted or contacted me, I have replied or confirmed accidently on the previous link! DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I AM IN DESPERATE NEED OF 4" POTS AND TRAYS if anybody needs to get rid of some.
Thanks

Datura, I would be interested in your topsy turvy echeveria.
Datura12,
i don't have any dragon fruit left, but I do have some orchid cactus cuttings. They are almost the same but don't fruit.
DATURA12, if Kenboy doesn't have Beautyberry, my guest ,Anita, does.
I could use another beautyberry if someone is willing to bring it.
She has 3 , so one is yours!
Perkoschilifarm: She also has lots of strawberry geraniums(begonias) Saxifraga stolonifera. Good groundcover for shade.
She also dug up some Ascelepsia (butterfly weed) some have solid yellow blooms and some have the orange and yellow. " I think the Monarchs like them best."
If anybody likes houseplants, she has a really unusual one. It was originally a Christmas Cactus that somebody gave her a slip of. However, it was left it in the car for a few days before being rooted . The result was a plant with thick wide stalks (?) with a gorgeous flower that blooms early in the morning. It finally got so big that she had to take cuttings from the mother plant and throw it away. I can't attach a photo of the bloom from my email, but it is beautiful. The new babies haven't bloomed yet this year. She could also divide a huge Aloe Vera.
I have lots of American Beautyberry.
Pattie, what can I trade you for a Katie blue ruellia, Indigo Spires salvia, and Honey Bee Blue agastache? I know I have some named brugs I can take cuttings of. I have never lopped one off before, but I have a few about to hit the top of the greenhouse, so it's time! I know a list would be helpful, and I'll get on that tomorrow. :>)
Anna, I would be interested in the Christmas Cactus.
Stephanie, I hope you have good luck with the wolfberry. I have several times had to move plants around to find a spot they like - it took four tries before I finally found a spot where pigeonberry thrives.
Ken, could I please get
Japanese Keria
EE
..Pink China
..Big Dipper
Bananas;
..Oranoco gets 26' and produces fruit
Bananna18 Hi! I would greatly appreciate one or two of the Strawberry Geraniums Saxifraga Stolonifera as well as a couple of yellow Butterfly weeds Please!
Datura12~ Thank you for the hoya :) I do have some butterfly ginger left, I'll mark you down. I can also bring you a flat of 18 4" pots if you'd like.
patrob I could use a little of your apple mint, little bluestem grass and would like to try a small ghost plant if you have one.
Datura12~ Do you still have the kniphofia available? If so could I trade you something for it?
lol, Perko, there's no such thing as a "little bit of apple mint." You do understand how invasive it is?
I'll put you down for apple mint, ghost plant, and little bluestem grass.
Yup! I thought you would get a kick out of me saying 'a little bit'. I have some Chocolate mint(Mentha piperita cv.) and it rooted through the pot, down the sides and took off! This is what I expect from most mints so bring on the apple!
Grasshopper, you have much to learn about apple mint!
Ah, the Apple will end up in my cooking pot, my jelly jars, my potions and lotions as well as some tea blends, potpourri and sachets and maybe some custom Candies. I may kill it before it has time to spread all around.
Anna, can I get some strawberry geranium from your friend?
For sure. Do you still have a start of pink skullcap?
Anyone interested in some spineless prickly pear pads? I can find a few to bring for someone to root. Also is anyone brave enough for a cholla start? A scary plant but I do love mine. Have some pencil cactus cuttings should anyone want to try and root them.
C
Who am I giving plants to? I have forgotten!
Trading seeds and giving Phlox pilosa to perkoschilifarm
Trading 2 Phlox pilosa to Josephine for Datura (white native)
Zexmenia to Greta
Who am I trading a couple Phlox pilosa with who is giving me a purple datura plant and seeds?
Cheryl
Pat, you don't need to bring me anything. I already have a yard full of pretty things from you--irises, daylilies, liatris, just off the top of my head. If you have some extra brug cuttings, that would be great, but it's not necessary. I'll put you down for Katie Blue, Honey Bee Blue, and Indigo. I also remember that awhile back you asked me for Mystic Spires, and I wasn't successful at rooting it. But mine has done well this year, so I'll give it another shot. I'm glad you're coming--it'll be good to see you.
Cheryl, I told you I'd bring something for your pond if you came to the RU, but I don't remember what? Do you? Seems like I remember you asked for floating things. I have the lemon bacopa with tiny blue flowers, and a pretty water zinnia with little gold flowers. The bacopa seems to attract algae, so you might not want it, but the zinnia has been problem-free. Interested? Maybe it was my EE we talked about. I have a baby Illustris that I can bring. It's very small, but they grow very fast in water. I also have blue pickerel reed, which has been really pretty this year. Let me know what you can use.
Newtons I would like to try the cholla and some pencil cactus...
I will bring both but remember they are not yet rooted. I am not sure how familiar you are with chollas but they get large and they have barbed spines. An encounter can be painful and can cause swelling that lasts a long while. It's a love hate relationship for certain.
PB,
I don't know what I asked you about but blue pickerel reed would be interesting to try.

My husband helped me how to post this. This is the bloom on Anita's mutant christmas cactus
Anna, I'll add you to the pink skullcap list. Is it for Anita?
I have gone through ALL the posts again (!!) and I'm wondering if the following are still available and if I can get some:
Anna~Mrs. H Duelberg salvia
MsGrubbyfungus (Kate)~Winter Savory
Kenboy~Curcuma Petiolata "Emperor"
Frostweed~Perilla, Drummond Aster (how tall does this get?)
Patrob~Ghost Plant and Little Bluestem Grass
Drummond aster gets about 2.5 feet tall, very pretty and totally indigenous to this area.
You have the aster and the Perilla.
Stephanie, I put you down for ghost plant and little bluestem.
