What is your largest trade, in term of number of varieties/species?

I just finished potting up about 12 new passion vines that came in the mail today. Along with the plants, I received at least 10 different passiflora's seeds, some just came from a recent PSI (Passiflora Society International) to Costa Rica.

I can't wait for P. 'Lady Margaret' to flower next summer!!

well, I've gotten several large trades, the surprise trade I think I got about 10 or 12 plants in that. And I've gotten several brug trades where I got maybe 8-10 different brugs.
You did great, tell us what all you got!

Stoppit Tim - I am so envious!! I think I may have lost one of the vines to the frost but I'm not giving up hope and look forward to the Spring to check it out!!

My biggest all time trade, was a seed trade. I met a wonderful girl in Australia named Lisa. We traded 55 types of heirloom veggie and edible flower seeds. I think it only cost about two bucks to mail and it kept both of us busy growing and harvesting for the whole summer.

Sue,
Lucky me!! Now all I need to do is nurse them through this winter and try to root them next year to pass around.

Louisa,
The ones you had around the side? I believe there were P. 'Lavender Lady', P. incarnata, and P. vitifolia. Your incarnata will die down during the winter and pop backup in the spring. P. vitifolia and 'Lavender Lady' too a few light frost over here last year, didn't die back, but lost some tender tips.
