MsJen, Do take it easy and get better. I can sympathize with you and your pain. Rest and medication works wonders. ((((Jen))))

between darvos and bed and 2 days off work...aargh.
can you believe i did it when i sneezed while brushing my teeth?

gingerlily,
I would love one of your butterfly ginger and garden lily (don't know tech name,tall-4-7ft.,white,fragrant. I might have Blue Sky Vine if this latest freesze didn't kill them.
Maybe I have something else you would like just in case?
Connie
I posted this on the old thread too, oops

Weeds, I would be happy to have more than one sky vine if yours didn't freeze. What else do you have? I'm game for lots of things.

Well girls - I guess I am just not "with it". I really don't know who has what to pick from and I don't know what I should bring to swap since no one has sent me there have/wants list. Seems like too much to just post the lists on here. I have most of what I could bring posted on my tradelist, but some folk's don't have a trade list posted. I don't really have much of a want list, but I'm sure if I saw a list of all the "haves", I could make some choices. I will gladly email my "haves" list to everyone, and wish you would do the same.

Wondering if any one getting in to town on the day before
will be a early nite but will have a few drinks at the loung before resting up for the busy day ahead.

Pete, Cala and Azalea and I are going to be there Friday night.

cool maybe we can have a little get together We are planing on getting in late afternoon or so

GingerLily,
By chance do you have any extra of the harlequin glorybower....I'm still looking for one for my friend....Is there anything you are looking for?

Glory
Biloxi

Azalea,I had the same problem.I just posted what I could bring and what I wanted.I think whatever we bring will follow someone home.

LOL!! that's what i'm thinking g2s!! hoping anyway:)

So do you really think It's just better to post a few things here than to give everybody more choices of what's really available?? Gloria sent me a list of about a dozen things to choose from, I liked that - some of those things I had not even thought that I would want, but I do!!

I'll finally have time tomorrow to go through everything I'll be able to bring. I'll email it to everyone, but not certain I have all the addies.

Ok everyone, I am behind the eight ball and late (way late) getting all the lists out. Just got back from Vegas last night. Will email everyone sometime today with the completed lists. It was in excel, but seems like some can't read it so am re-doing in regular email fashion. I think I need to send out in 2 parts to keep from being to long with a chance of getting disconnected. Got a couple of neat plants in NV. Will post a picture of the one, never have seen it before. The nursery called it a lily of the valley bush. Looks just like lily of the valley only it really is bushy.

Going to meet another DG's tonight at the Beau Casino...Azalea. I bringing a couple of little Brugs for her so I guess she'll have to gamble with her Brugs at her side.

i can see the headlines in the Sun Herald
"Gambler charged with illegal Brug imports"
im going to bed, lol

Yes - got to meet Glory & her cute Mom, we had a fun visit - Just sorry Jen didn't feel up to it. Just got in tonight about 11:30. Fun trip, but tiring. Glory did bring me two really cute brugs - Milk & Honey & Jessie Noel,what a wonderful surprise that was, now I think I have 7 differnt ones, & counting - Oh for more space!! I felt really bad not bringing some plants - felt even more stupid when she told me the Pink Dble Holly hocks would't, grow in Ms. We flew this time so I didn't think to take plants. BTW, they got to their new home just fine.

Azalea, glad you got to meet Glory and had a safe trip.
Does anybody want some African iris(dietes)?

I want one!

PJ,
Glad to see you got home. We too enjoyed the visit.
I sure wished the Hollyhocks did better down here but they don't...guess it's our heat and humidity. :(

Glory,I am sorry to hear that Hollyhocks don't do well here.I have nursed a half dozen or so through the winter.
I was planning to plant them by the outhouse.

Some of you that live further south in Florida are going to have to stop by Arlene's and drag her to the swap.She now says she can't make it.Someone change her mind please.

I've been trying!!!

Its not looking good for me either but the good news is Chucks mom is now awake and alert,breathing on her own...Your prayers helped!!!

CC, that is wonderful news!!!!!!!

I've gotten several emails from you nice folks wondering if I was going to make it. Much to my dismay, it doesn't look like I will be able to. There is no one here that can milk my goat plus (bottle) feed the babies 3 x's a day. I thought about leaving late friday night after milking mom goat and trying to find someone to milk for me on Sat. morning. But finding a dependable milker is hard. This the real clincher..I need to go to Mobile, Ala. to buy another goat, I might be in Mobile on sat. I will be so close to yall.....wahhhhhh! I am still trying tho...

Lisa, if you come to Mobile, you must come on over to Fla. It's not that far.

I know, I know...sigh...that is the part that is killing me..there is also a great little flea market not far from where yall will be. Haven't been there in a couple of years..would love to go there too

Lisa,
Get you goat and come on to FL for the day...it's not that much further.

Cala,save an African Iris for me if you have another.
Lisa,the offer still stands.The kids are welcome too.

G2S, I have several and will save you one or two.

does anyone want baby grape mahonias?? the picture in the database is the momma. let me know so I have time to dig.

I'm bringing TiG a mandevilla and have one more, does anyone want it?

Of course, Cala, we all do. I don't know if I'll have anything you want to trade for, but if I do, I would love to have one. But if not, that's ok.

tiG--how do you find the grape mahonia in the database? I did a search and got no results.

Hey since ya'll seem to be on this page just wanted to let you know I just emailed everyone with the new updates (and added myself to the list). This list is on the web. DH wanted to make this alot easier for you guys to access, just click on the link. Please let me know if you have any problems. Just trying to help make this so much simplier.

gingerlily, here's the link. http://plantsdatabase.com/go/1898.html there are several varieites of mahonia, and we've always called it grape. but I tried to study just which one it was when I put it in the database. anyway, a picture tells a story, right??

tig, I wouldn't mind having one if you have enough. It should be ok down here right?

we can always try Dee!!!!

OK, I'm bringing 2 mandevillas one for TiG and one for Gingerlily. If I happen upon anything else I will post it.(DH is cleaning the green houses(not mine) and he tosses my stuff if I don't watch him like a hawk)
