After being diagnosed with 2 different cancers less than 6 months apart, I've been spending ALOT of time in my gardens trying to get them thinned out, cleaned up and organized. (Looks like i have a clean bill of health for now, although i will have to do 6 weeks of radiation and maybe tamoxifan)
Today i realized i have WAY too much stuff that needs to go. Holy cow, some plants multiply fast.
I want to send them out on the honor system. Just pay whatever the postage is. They WILL be more than the standard $3.85 1lb rate.
What i have is:
2. Hidden Ginger (Curcuma...2 different pinks)
3. Ruellia (Purple, Pink, White)
4. Bog Lily (Crinum americanum)
5. Crinum (Gulf Pride)
6. Louisiana Iris (purple and yellow)
7. mixed bulbs (paperwhites and daffs)
8. Crocosmia (montbretia)
11. Clerodendrum Bungei
I really need to keep this as easy as possible
Thanks
Jen

I will keep you in my prayers too.
I'll be watching to see if you have any Crinnium left. ;-) But, like Carol, I'd happily foster anything you need to send out.
MSJen, So sorry to hear about the cancer. My prayers and good wishes also are with you. If we can do anything PLEASE!!! let us know. I also will be glad to take anything you have left over. Postage isn't a problem. Will be thinking of you tonight and every night till we hear you are all better! God is with you thu this. I believe he will never give us more then we can bare.
I am so sorry to hear of this Jen. I'll keep you in my prayers.
I'm so sorry to hear of your diagnous. Cancer is a very scary word, isn't it?
I would be interested in your mixed bulbs if you have any left.
Lost most of my daffs in our severe winter of 93. Never knew you could lose daffs to cold. Some I had for almost 30 yrs.
Guess the Lord wanted them some where else.
Prayers going your way, hoping that your driving and other will not be too taxing for you.
I drive for our county taking people to chemo who can't drive while taking the treatments, so I do have some idea what you will be going thru.
Take care, A gardening friend, Maxine
Sending along prayers for your continued recovery...
Kris
Thankfully I dont have to do chemo, just radiation. I've heard mixed reviews about it tho.
Before i confirm anymore i need to fill the ones that i've already replied to. I'm sure ill have plenty more, but i dont wan to get overwhelmed.
thanks
jen
Jen, I am truly sorry to hear you have been going through all that! I knew you had been in and out of DG and even gone for a while. I had no idea that was why. Try to keep your chin up and enjoy the sunshine. :)
MSJen, Take care and don't over do it getting thses plants out of the ground...Your health is the most important thing..Sooo Please do take it easy...
I'll keep my eye on this thread for any extra babies and also to keep updated on you..Please keep us all posted

Gotta tell y'all, i've been in the yard since about 630 digging and sorting.
my son woke about about 1030 and came outside to find me. he took about 3 steps back and said "whew, mom, you smell like a goat"....may be just my sick sense of humor, but i found it pretty hysterical. i'm the type to do my hair, have on makeup, matching clothes etc........to be told i smell like a goat, im not sure how to take that, roflol.
anyway....time to take my goat smelling self back out there.
MSJen...U got me ROFL... My 3yr old grandson was here yesterday, ( as always on Saturdays i was neck high in ther garden.... I ask for a kiss...he came running up threw his arms around me and was giving me the sweetest hug, then all of a sudden he pulled back and said Ma-Maw..you stink!
He's got such a way with words! lol

Sorry to hear of your illness. Just when things are getting better. I would love some of the crinium lilies if you have any more. Get better soon.
My thoughts are with you. If you have any Bulbs left, I would love and nuture them. Thankyou Carol
MSJen, I hope your gardening is bringing you comfort. Take care of yourself and don't overdue it, the plants will take care of themselves. The garden is a sanctuary isn't it? I hope you are finding pleasure in your work there. Best wishes and prayers coming your way.
MSJen, you are in my prayers for an easy recovery.
If you have any extra plants, I would love receive some from you, neighbor! It is so special to receive plants and have stories attached to them. It becomes very personal. I would treasure anything that you need to give a new home.
