:( haven't gotten mine yet
I enjoy hearing about all of your boxes :)

John, I'm glad that the geraniums were new to you, and enjoy the Tuscany - it is a beautiful rose!

Thanx so much to all of u...I will post the pics as soon as I get some of the rolls developed...It is the most unbelievable thing we've ever experienced!!!

I got my trade yesterday and it was a great one! It came from Mystic.
She sent me some houseplants:
Rex Begonia 'MArion Louisel'
Asparagus Fern
Philodendron Prince of Orange
I did need more houseplants but only hope I can keep them alive through the summer when I spend more time outside and neglect the houseplants.
I also got:
Magic Michael Basil (Yummy!)
Alternanthera 'Purple Knight' (Thought I had this already, but it looks different. Will see when they both grow)
Clerodendrum delactum (Research required, but I love my other clerodendrums)
Cuphea ignea
Black Sweet William
Blue Butterfly Pea (More research required)
A beautiful unknown hosta (Much needed)
and a wild elephant ears from LA (Can't wait to watch this grow!)
Thank you so much, Mystic!!!

Studley thanks for letting me know it got there. The begonia and fern you can grow outside. You said you had gh space you can overwinter them. The hosta is truly a hardy one my dogs dig it up every year and it keeps coming back bigger than ever. I hope you enjoy your stuff!

Tracy, I am so glad you liked your box! I am a collector of Gardening books ( I am a Manager at Barnes and Noble) and thought you might like the one I sent. You can never have enough gardening books!!Please tell me the Hosta made it ok? You probably just left it off the list , which is fine, just want to make sure I actually sent it! LOl.......I hope every plant brings you joy.

bamasharon, do you guys ever have any good sales on any doll sculpting books? Cernit, sculpey, polymer clay, whatever. Let me know if you do, I'd be very interested in those :)

oh i'm so sorry bamasharon!!! I just forgot to list the hosta, pandora's box, the box was so full and i just missed putting it on my list, but it was in there and it's doing fine! The plants will bring me joy for years to come. I've already identified some european wild ginger that is all over our hillside from the book you sent and I can tell it's going to be very well read over the years, it's a perfect book for a beginning gardener such as myself. Thank you so much for the box (not the plants!, don't want to jinx myself, hehehe) Hope you enjoy your box as much as i have mine. Tracy

flowox, i will keep an eye out for books on those subjects, you never know :-)

I received my box of goodies from Shihtumom yesterday and received 4 types of plants that I did not have. I got:
2 - Varigated Solomans Seal
2 - Laminum
2 - pretty unknown plant with little yellow flowers
2 - pieces of a Cacti with soft thorns.

She sent me pictures of these plants from her garden, which is very helpful to me, as I have never grown them before.

Thank you so much Kathy for your thoughtful plants. I hope you receive a lovely box of goodies too.

Donna

Hi all....I just found out that I am not allowed to post any type of pics of our little guy till the adoption is finalized, and he is OFFICIALLY ours...Thanx all for your best wishes...you guys are all great...and I have never had so much fun in my life!!!

thanks bamasharon :)

huggle, no problem, we can wait :)

Huggle, We wouldn't want you to do anything that would hinder the adoption we'll gladly await pics of little Darrin. Enjoy him,(I know you are) Tracy

Yahoo, My box was waiting when I got back from the lawn mower shop, and what a great box!!!! Only problem is, I don't know who to tell they sent some really great things, no ID anywhere. Notice, no 'Thank You'. I got :

a varigated Solomon's Seal - need shade plants
Splash and pink balloon flowers - in my rock garden they
go, the blue is blooming like crazy there
Peruvian Lilies (6) - love these
Pineapple Lilies (9)- love the look of these
The President Cannas (9) - I love cannas, big and gaudy
Some nice plant markers and a pair of gardening gloves

There was also instruction sheets for my plants, very helpful and I can say 'Thank You' for those. Come on now 'Secret Trader' let me know who to send my best wishes to.

Oops, in my excitement I forgot yellow primrose and painted tongue. That last one sure sounds interesting. :)

sounds like a great box!!!
No box here yet and I am so pumped to get it too........lol

You and me both Susan, I can't wait to get mine eaither!! I hang around the front part of the house everyday watching for the mailman and then when he does come, I usually go walking out to meet him just in case he has a box for me :) But so far nothing yet, but I do know that good things come to those who wait :)

You sound like me..........lol.............I'm waiting patiently though :)

maparker - I'm so glad your happy with your plants. It's a relief to know they were all new things for you. I like picking out plants for secret trades :)

Congrats on your special baby Huggle!!

my box didn't arrive to it's person today? Oh I hope all the plants will be ok as it should have gotten there today :(

I'm still waiting too, I am so excited. I already know just where I am going to put them.

Come to think of it, my secert trader hasn't gotton their box yet eaither! I mailed mine out on 6/10! Surely to goodness it will get there on Monday! Any longer and the plants might not look so good when they arrive.
Keeping fingers crossed that it will be there Monday!

I havent gotten my box either! I had to work today and made my DH promise to call me as soon as the mail ran, just in case! Oh well, I have Always heard " good things come to those who wait".

I came home from a trip late last night and my box was waiting form me. I received a fantastic box from Honibee. I got
Sedum Stonecrop Pink
Lamium
AppleMint
Yarrow Paprika Red
Lambs Ear
Purple Coneflower
Sundrops
Plus a surprise gift of Victoria's Secret Garden shower gel Pretty in Pink
Nancy

remember, some of us posted that we are mailing tomorrow. sorry, there was just no way I could before then. I have them all picked out and ready to dig today.

Sending Mine out tomorrow as well:)

Mine should go out tomorrow as well.

I received my wonderful package yesterday from Karen7. I really was tickled to get it and enjoyed opening each individual plant package. She sent me:

Lemon Balm
Blue Cornflower
Rose Campion
Obedient Plant (pink & white)--I had lavender-pink color
and will love adding these to my gardens)
Yellow Primrose--love yellow flowers of all types
Blue Salvia--didn't have any of these in my gardens
Miniature Iris (lite purple) always love irises
Daisy---added these to my coneflower garden
Lily of the Valley--never can get enough of these

Thank you so much Karen, for sharing a part of your gardens with me. The plants arrived here looking great and are much appreciated. Happy Gardening Everyone!! :)

I was in such a hurry to get mine out I forgot to put a list of what was in there...LOL

I'll be mailing mine tomorrow also. Was planning on getting it out yesterday but my car had a gasoline leak that needed to be repaired before I could go anywhere.
