Thank you bananna18. Is there anything on my list that you would like?
Gypsi, on door prizes.

I just trimmed up several container plantings where I use Euphorbia diamond dust as a filler. I have lots of trimmings. would anyone want a pot of that? I will have rooted cuttings by the time of RU.
I also recently received four plants of "inky fingers" coleus. I would be glad to share 2 of them if anyone wants one.
Steadycam
Is there a smaller variety of turks cap? Mine us a giant but if u have an extra of one that remains smaller I would love to have it.
I have some that is over six feet tall, but it can be cut back with no problem. I don't know of a dwarf type, but i know that the pink and the white are smaller.
Cheryl, I could have been more clear by using the latin names. Sorry bout that. I have Malvaviscus arborea var Mexicanus and I have Malvaviscus drummondi which is smaller. The larger arboreus has "caps" that are about 2 inches long vs the 1 inch of the drummondi and the arboreus gets over 6 feet here without pruning. It does not get correspondingly wider however. It's just a tall rather narrow shrub. The leaf shape is different too. The drummondi has more lobes to the leaf. The arboreus leaf looks very much like the hibiscus to which it is related. The bloom on the large form looks like a hibiscus bud that is about to open.

Jo I do cut mine back but its growth is so fast its always a sprawling giant. I just got excited thinking there might be a small version for tighter spaces.
Marty you have turned me into a coleus fan! I will take an inky fingers please. I am going against my rule of overwintering plants.....
Anna, just place in front of a window, when it gets leggy, cut it back and sticke the cuttings in a vase of water in the window. The cuttings will then get leggy so cut them back and place the cuttings in a vase of water. By Spring, you will have enough to share. Not difficult at all. They are in the mint family, square stems and all so they root quickly. I'll put you down for one. Inky fingers is the duck footed variety of coleus and very attractive and stable. It wont revert to green on you.
Banana will have one for you too. :-)
Mibus, Im not sure what you mean. Could you clarify?
Marty,I think she is saying she has a plumie for me too (not coleus) Thanks Phyllis. I hope there is something of mine you want.
So the cutting stays in water all winter...I guess you can pot it too
sorry yes that is what I meant a plumeria for Banana18. I forgot the 18 after it.
Banana you will be able to put it in a pot plumerias do not sit in water to root :-)
all of them already have roots on them...all of them were given to me and I do not have room for that many nor a place to put them all when the temps drop below 50.
Here is a good site for info.

umm how bout a pink rain lily of you have any left and if not then a Henri Duelberg
Ok, vagaries of using cell phones when somebody aka snoops are tapping in, chuckle, Gypsi, I mistakenly got your name when agreeing to Sybrams reuest for a pink n white crinum, I willl send you one if you wish also, but my list is in the Hempstead RU, Yes Sybram, You may and I will send asap! as I can get back to Houston area, chuckle
I potted up a few Brazilian rock roses and a Kiowa blackberry, if anyone is interested.
Kittriana, I actually got a pink and white crinum from Covenant Garden at the spring Roundup, and it is doing very well. I wondered where that dmail came from. No, i don't need another, but thank you.
Mibus, if you really have more plumies than takers, I'd like another to add to the one you already promised. They are hardy here outdoors so I could handle two.
I thought I posted something about lantana and pots to find out how many to pot up for the RU, something tells me I was sleep-posting, and I thought I posted photos of butterflies. did I put it on the wrong thread?
Dennis, I would love to have the blackberry if it hasn't been spoken for.
I can dig some crinum lilies if anyone else wants them. Mine are also white with pink stripe.
covenantgarden - I'm already getting some crinums from Mibus, but if you end up with extras, I'll take another one or two. We can wait and see b/c I think there was someone else who wanted some. I just can't handle going thru the thread to follow who wants what. Gets confusing after awhile.
Yes the TRADE threads are a job to keep clear in your head. You almost have to keep a log or post them as they happen at the bottom of your list.
If you loose track, or just want to make sure all is good, you can click on your profile so you name turns purple and it is quicker to go back through the threads. You can usually catch what you asked for or gave to someone by reading your post only.

That is a good idea Sheila, I usually try to update my list as soon as something comes up so I don't forget.
Big score! Neighbor just put some BIG black plastic planters/tubs on the curb for trash pick-up, which is any day this week in my neighborhood. Here's what I got:
Three (3) that say #15 (and I guess that means 15 gallons)
Two (2) that are #25.
Or maybe it was the other way around. Not going back outside to check right now as I got mosquito bites when I was lugging them home. Itch, itch. (Trying not to think about it. Mind control.)
If anyone out there in Texas Gardening Land wants one or more, please let me know.
Oh my these threads REALLY have me dizzy. Anyway, I think someone on the other thread mentioned ice plants.
Years ago someone from Texas sent me "ice plants" which were very lively multicolored hanging sticks which you could just stick in a pot and they would start growing, even though they looked dead. (Bear in mind this was in Boston, where it rains a gallon a week.) They were amazing....all summer they were the focus of the container garden, and they were EVERYWHERE. Not at all invasive, at least not in New England, because you just pulled them up if you didn't want them there. They all died with the first frost. :(
After that, I purchased some "ice plants" which were Delosperma. They were supposed to be hardy but they pretty much drowned amd never showed their flowers because it was too cloudy.
So if anyone has the "ice plants" which have a texture like impatiens with a finely dissected aster-like small flower, I would love to try them again. We are definitely moving back North next year, so tempting as everything else is....I have to say "no thank you."
Anyone want leaves? I can bag up some more (previously promised some to Stephanie) but they will be a mix of oak, pecan, magnolia, and some NOID. I do not have a shredder, but have leaves to spare right now. A neighbor's house is empty (it's tied up in probate) and I'd be doing the family a favor by bagging up leaves.
Will update my list later if anyone needs leaves.
Mibus, the rainlily and Henry D are yours
Thanks for the tip Sheila!
Flower Child, I'll put you down for one or two crinum lilies, number depending on who else asks for some. I'll dig around and see how many I have to share.
Covenant, I put your name on the blackberry.
covenantgarden - re the crinums, thanks. and i think we agree that we should do a 'wait and see'. (in other words, no worries.)
It was me who wanted the Crinums, girls. Kitt is giving me a couple and another from Joy, and I would take a couple more if you have extra.
When I went to my trade post link above, I see I don't know how to edit it.

Anyone want 4 oclocks? They are perennial, I have mainly dark pink but may have some yellow left too
sybram - i think this should work. Click on your trade post link above.Then, altho this seems counterintuitive, click on 'In reply to'. It's near the top of the screen and looks like this:
In reply to: 2013 N Central TX RU Oct. 20th in Arlington TRADE THREAD #1
That will open your trade link that originated in the 1st thread. Click on Edit and type away.

Gypsi - Had to laugh when I read your offer about 4 o'clocks. I was just thinking about offering some myself. There are some growing wild in my alley. Kinda pinkish-coral. Not sure how easy it would be to dig some up due to rest of 'wilderness' in the alley. But if there are a lot of folks who want them, I'll add to my list. Think I'll see what kind of response you get. Gotta admit, tho, that the yellows would prob. be pretty cheerful.
Ladies, just bring 4 o'clock seeds. Much easier and if people plant them in the fall, they will come up in the spring and bloom the first year. I have hot pink ones and white ones but I would like some coral, peachy colored ones if you can get a few seed, flowerchild and gypsi, I dont have any yellow ones. Are the ones you have fragrant? I especially like those.
steadycam - i've never gathered seeds from anything except datura which is just too obvious. If I can figure out how to do it, and if timing is right, will do. My rose agastache is going to seed now and I think I may have missed out. Most of the seed pods are empty.
flower child
How does your agastache do here? Mine always die. Do you know which species it is or is it a hybrid.
Dennis - thank you for the blackberry.
Sybram & Flower Child - I have you both down for extra crinum lilies unless they are needed by folks who don't have any yet.
Steadycam - Good idea about 4 o'clock seeds instead of plants. I will bring seeds for my white & pinkish red if anyone wants them. I'll check to see which ones are fragrant. May I have some seeds for hot pink?
Mibus - I just noticed your post about variegate leaf althea. I don't think that's what I have, but you are welcome to some seedlings of what I do have if you're interested. Here's some pics.
