Chat and Swap thread Part 3 for The RU at Jan23 on May 18

Added Tall Garden Phlox to have list. Pictures of pots sizes and of phlox it's self below.

hmmm...I'l hit you up next time I see you, greenthumb!

Is there anyone interested in Ditch Lilies? They are pretty even if they are prolific.

I have some really good spots for Ditch Lilies, Holly, and would appreciate having some.

Great Roses thanks for taking them.

Pixie---

Is the Phlox really as blue as on the picture??? Beautiful!!!

I would love to have one...please.....and Thank you...
Gita

Donnerville, I just noticed Bunny Tails grass on your list... if you still have one available, I'd love it, please! I've tried a couple times to start this one from seed with bad luck. Thanks!

Pixie, that phlox is beautiful!!! Yes please

Karen, I'm nuts for pretty much any purple or true-pink daylily, especially ones with neat eyezones or "star" markings (that streak down the center rib of each petal), and I'd love to have one of your mom's seedlings. 'Chicago Heather' especially catches my eye, as does 'Cranview Alien Encounter' and "Karen's Blueberry Dessert." Thanks!!

I know I really need to work on my "haves" list.. I have some catching up to do out there, and then Joyanna and I will continue potting and dividing and propagating for the swap. We've did greek oregano divisions and alpine catchfly the other day. :-)

Sally, I'm wondering if the hydrangea was from us... possible if it is blue.

speaking of blue...Pixie, that tall phlox is really pretty, I'd love to try it too please if you have any left

edited to add: almost forgot...Greenthumb, I'd love to try your Yellow Foxglove - Digitalis grandiflora and Penstemon 'Blueberry Taffy' if you have any left.

and I've been adding to our haves list as well

thank you!!

Jill, the Greek oregano I from you lady year didn't survive the winter. Is it not very hardy? I would love to try again!

SSG, I'll get you another. They're hardy for me, either in ground or in a container... my guess is maybe it was too wet in winter? You might try planting it on a mound of dirt for better drainage.

I need to think of something that would act like a little "collar" for holding mounds in place without being really conspicuous, so I could put "hates wet feet" plants in their own little "raised bed pockets" within the garden. Hmmm...

Jan , Gita, Wind , ecnalg, got you down for the phlox.

Wind can I claim your beauty berry?

Holly: can I claim a small start of each of your begonias

Diana I'm gonna 'name' my hydrangea after you- solved
; ^)

Wind, Corydalis lutea is a bush. Yellow bleeding heart. Please let me know today if you want one or not as I am giving all the plants to Holly tomorrow at the Hobby Greenhouse meeting tomorrow morning, thanks, Judy.'
Happy, I'll pot u up a yellow Corydalis, too & see to it that Holly gets it. Enjoy! Buttoneer
Happy, would you like a double ditch lily too?
Gita, I'll take & love whatever AV's you want to share. Thank you.

Sure can Terp.

My Next door neighbor has true double ditch lilies. Any takers?
Gita, could I have one of your variegated AV's if u have any extra to spare?

This message was edited May 3, 2013 3:14 PM

Gita I would like some of your broken colors if you still have them.
Wind I would like some of your Celosia Flamingo Feather it you still have them.
Nutsfordaylily, I would like some of your Lost Valley & Chicago Heather daylilies if you still have them.
Thanks

Pixie: If you have any of that phlox left I'd be in 7th Heaven, though I know you have us all salivating for it.
Buttoneer: Thanks so much!
All: I have unlimited ditch lilies. Also noticed some jewelweed sprouts.
Greenthumb: My Kerria was in a mostly shady spot, but not what I'd call dense shade, in a bed with a lot of bulbs but not much of anything else. I don't know why it died. I don't even recall seeing it die. Do deer like it? Maybe that was the problem -- although the other 2 I killed were not in deer territory.

thanks pixie!

Terp, I'll dig up a beauty berry for you. Robins like the berries

Sally, I have your mock orange... will name that after you lol. It is doing really well but still not in its final spot yet.

Button, I'd love some Corydalis lutea if you had it. We have what I thought was it, but it is small in size not nearly a "bush"

Gita -- I'd love the solid green aucuba -- it'll work in my shady way-back -- unless someone else wants it -- don't give me priority, please.... if you don't want to lug it up, I can pick it up from you on my drive home....

Happy you got it!!

Wow Pixie -- I'm thrilled!

Sitting down for the first time since about 10:30Am. Feels good!!!

Buttoneer---
You can have as many of my AV babies as you want---BUT--I cannot vouch if it is the
variegated one or the deep magenta one. Trying to compare the leaves--but they
both look very similar.
A while back I posted pictures of both--somewhere.....

Holly--
You can have as many $ O'clocks as you wish. I have plenty. Give me a number....
just remember they take up a pretty big area....

Happy---
SORRY! Someone else claimed the Acuba before you.

Thanks, All....Gita

Gita 3-5 of them please

Will do, Holly

Hey! I have a suggestion.........
Every time you do to your "haves and wants" Thread--PLEASE put the date up top
when you updated your Post. Like a little "flag'---announcing that you changed something....

Helps a lot--so one does not have to read all your "haves" again to see if you added something.

Thanks muchly, Gita

It is a nice shrub. I had a small 'duet' beauty berry I planted in the fall but it did not survive the winter. I should have potted it and protected it. Oh well...it was from a mail trade.
Thanks!

Good idea, Gita. I'll be looking for the updates this way. Hope everyone goes with your suggestion.

Confederate Violet to share, maybe 3 or 4. Flower is actually purple & white, not blue but camera picks it up as boue.
Lysimachia & celandine photos are switched.
Greater Celandine Poppy to share, singles & doubles.(double is shown)
Purple Lysimachia to share
Yellow Corydalis to share


Gita, could I have maybe 6 of the 4 o'clocks if you can spare them, I have a window box to fill & thanks.
Aspen, could you spare a porteranthus for me?
Happy, If I don't overdo it, my sore shoulder is sore but healing & the oxycodone helps. So far. I have planted sunflowers, radishes, onions,carrots, leaf lettuce and beets in my veggie garden but not all the same day. good exercise.

Holly, will dig uo a confederate violet for you & Corydalis lutea if I have more to share.
Terp, will go searching for a double celandine poppy for you,
Aspenhill, will dig up a confederate violet for you.
Pixie, will see if I have any more Corydalis lutea & do my best to get you one.

Holly, will make a trip over to your place before the plant swap with these above requests. Do you have any tadpoles in your ponds to share? Thanks, Judy.

Gita, if you have one or two of the 4 o'clocks left, I'd like to try them please.

Happy, I did pull off some pieces when repotting the big fern I got for my mom recently, and they haven't died yet, so tell Darryl I'm trying! I got Mom's for an outlandishly good price at Costco, maybe $15 for a truly monster fern. Repotted in one of the self-watering hanging pots from WalMart, with a good "reservoir" of moisture crystals in the bottom. That worked great for the fern I gave them last year, until I killed it trying to overwinter it. (Ferns need water -- who knew? LOL)

Buttoneer, I would love the Confederate Violet & Yellow Corydalis Thanks.

Button if you aren't troubled I would love the double poppy. No big deal though. I already have the single started from happy last year.

I will count up all the 4's requests and see how it comes out. There are quite few...

Will try to proportion fairly--if I am short. No one will go without....
I never expected so many people to be interested! Once you have even just one--you will be
amazed at the amount of seeds you can collect. Just have to be diligent....

Once again--posting a picture of the blooms did the trick....I believe....I think most people like
to see what something looks like. Saves time going to PF.

Good night all. Gita

Judy,
I've got you down for a porteranthus. I'd like one of your Confederate Violets if there are any left - I adore violets. Thanks, Terri

Buttoneer, i'd like some Yellow Corydalis if you have any extra please.

Terri would you like one of my yellow violets or do you have them?

Glad you are doing well, Buttoneer.

Just went out and counted all the 4's I have. We are now even as to "haves" and "wants'...(32),

If more requests come in--I may have to cut the larger requested amounts by one or two.

Please remember that these will take up a space close to 3'x3'--and you will lose your mind
trying to collect all the seeds...starting in October...OR--they will just roll down to the ground
and you will have 100's coming up next year.

That is why I had all these to dig up at my daughter's......

Gita
