LOL its not back pain just sticky fingers and frustration. I will see if I can get some seed this summer.

2011 NORTH CENTRAL TX RU **MAY 1ST** (TRADE LISTS)
Cool C,
I knew what ya meant. My use of the word 'back' was to say 'in return', lol. The seeds are tiny... Are they like dust? I am familiar with dust seed. In my experience, the micro seeds need to dry on the stem... And in sowing put right on top of the soil, or with only a dusty soil covering them.
The real trouble with these kinds of seed is in collection. The window of time optimun to collect could be very tight. Too soon, sticky; to late, already dropped :-/. Either case is a bummer. Do you ever see any volunteers around your main plant? Acanthus' are good about producing a few.
:-D
I have finally posted my trade list above: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/p.php?pid=8437680
Don't have much and realize most things are already traded.
To clarify my "wish list," I'm posting a photo to explain what I'm working on (forever, I think) and need plants suitable to plant among rocks on sides of dry creek in new section of butterfly garden.
Thanks.

Glenna, please save me some of the llama manure and coffee grounds, I will have Ruellia nudiflora ans Lyreleaf sage for your dry creek, they both spread nicely.
Josephine.
Glenna how about zexmenia, it can take drought.
Glenna, I have some pink Katie's ruellia that spreads nicely. It's not vastly invasive, but it does spread. It's also not the tall ruellia. These are short and do well in sun or shade.

It's a deal, Stephanie. Have been wanting some of the pink. Have the Katie blue but never got the pink.
Do you want llama poop or coffee grounds?
Glenna I have one or 2 for you. I don't need a trade unles you have some extra poo.
C
Glenna, I'll take llama poop, please! That's some good stuff!
I have Plantain for the Buckeye Butterfly if you would be interested in that Glenna. And If any left, I'd like Llama poop. Look at my list and see if there is anything else you would like. I have lots of stuff left to trade.

Here is the NOID hosta
Catz, if you have any left, I'd like some NOID hosta, if you're interested in llama poop or coffee grounds or "Becky" Shasta daisies???
DNP I'll put you down for hosta :) Can I get some llama poo?
Glenna, is there anything on my list you can use? It looks like all my perennials are medium to tall, but I'm happy to share. http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/p.php?pid=8437273
Josephine is it you I am getting a rock rose from?

Would love to have: Liatris mucronata (blazing star, gayfeather) and/or mixture of irises.
Would you like to have llama poop or coffee grounds?
Dennis,
May I have your Turks cap, please?
Msgrubbyfungus, I'll put you down for the turk's cap.
Steadycam, I found a strawberry geranium for you.
Steadycam,
May I please have some Cedar sage?
Many thanks!
Mindy,
May I have some hosta, please?
Many thanks!
Glenna, I'll put you down for irises and liatris. If you have any daisies left, I'll take one or two, but if not, I don't need a trade. I am happy to find homes for extra plants!
Cheryl, yes you are getting the rock rose from me.
Thanks, Dennis for the Strawberry geranium.
Ms GF, I have added cedar sage to my list to bring to you.

Okay, Patrob. Put you down for two daisies.
Is the white yarrow millefolium taken? If not, I'd like to have it.

Cam.... Do you have extra Plantain, I would love to have a couple. I also want a bag those hose plant ties! Look at my list and see what I can bring you.
Steadycam3, I would like some cedar sage, if you have any left.
I will put you down for cedar sage, Dennis and plantain for you Sheila and the plant ties.
Note I have added to my HAVE list plant ties made from panty hose legs. 100 per bag. They are strong, durable, inconspicuous and flexible to be gentle on plants. I would not be without them. Note, I have sterilized the ones Im offering by boiling 212*F. I dont do this for my own but for others I thought this was appropriate.

Cam, can I have some ties?
Yes, stephanietx, I'll put you down for a pack.
Does anyone still have any lady in red salvia?
Did someone on here say they have the plant markers made of mini blinds? If so, could I get some of those?
Yes, I have plant markers....got you down for a bag.
