Thanks dixiechick I would love it.
I grow a few of them.
why don't you take a look at my triad list and see what you would like in return.
I wish I was near a lowes but it is 45 min away.
and I don't drive.
So I have to get mine from my buddy's and around here in fields.
I have never found them in the stores or in the nurseries around here.
But as soon as we go to Nashville or to Lebanon I am going to check out the lowes store and home depot
I found that the phone is good for checking on things before I go places. That gets a lot of the wrong ones out of the way.
I am also looking for passifloras. I have Lavender Lady aka Amethystine and will soon have rooted cuttings to trade. I am looking for pretty much any variety except coccinea, especially Incense and Elizabeth. Anybody out there?
Hello delphinumdiva I will gladly send a few seed of some of my stock I know I still have a few seed left for this year.
I put most of them in the ground this year.
I want an explosion of passiflora so I will have something for the fair this year.
last year the storms got all that I was growing for the fair but this year I got smart and put in a wind break.
Take a look at my triad list and see what you want and I will see if I still have the seed for it.
And Thank You monterey I will call ahead to see if they have what I am looking for.
I dont get off the farm much so it is not a fun day for me if i have to do a lot of running around.
delphiniumdiva,...you have mail :-)
Thx, Carol
Logee's has a great selection by mail order and has very reasonable prices: http://www.logees.com/store/
Well I called around yesterday to a few of the lowes and home depot and not one of them knew what I was talking about.
they said they never get them wouldn't even know what they look like.
So I guess I will go to the local plant nursery and ask if she will order them for me.
I hope that it will work and she will do it for me.
And thanks for the link Clare they had some nice stuff but the hubby said not right now for me to see if I can get the plant locally.I am looking for a yellow one I have got lot's of color's
but a yellow one and that is my mission to find a yellow one for my collection.
rh, you'll probably find the most common ones locally, like P. Incarnata, P. Caerulea, etc. If you are looking for a yellow one, those are somewhat unusal and can usually only be found by mail order. Kartuz has Passiflora citrina, which has small yellow flowers, and Sunburst, which has small orange/yellow flowers, but I hear that Sunburst has an unpleasant fragrance.
