Does anybody want cuttings of these for postage? I can do about 5 trades on the chocolate vine and 10 on the snail vine.
Here's a link on the snail vine...

EDITED TO ADD THE FOLLOWING:
I've gotten very good interest in these cutting. In order to avoid going insane and forgetting someone. I'm going to ask that you respond if interested here. I will post your name below with what you are asking for. Then I will send you and email with further instructions. If you don't see your name here and you don't get an email that means I'm out of cuttings or energy to ship anymore cuttings.
PLEASE BE WARNED! You might also get cuttings and or plants of other stuff I need to get rid. Which you can pass along if you want. I just don't have the room for them.

Snail Vine & Chocolate Vine
flowerjunkie, I sure would like to have a piece of that Chocolate vine! PLMK :)
Hi Daisy,
I would be interested in both for postage .
Thanks Patti
Oh yes!!! Me please, I would like both if you have enough...
Raven
me too
I would be interested in both. How much postage do you need?
Hi I would love some also if you have some left of each.
vicki
flowerjunkie
I would love both types for postage if still available..
Please, let me know.Best regards, Ingrid
Both are very beautiful.
If you haven't run out of energy... and still have cuttings available, I'd love to try both-though it looks as if the Chocolate may all be spoken for. Thank you!
Mary
I'd love to try the snail vine!
Don't know if you have any left
OH Good ..I think I might be in under the wire for the snail vine... great and thanks for the offering... now a song.... Gordon
If I am #11, can I be put on the "how come they didn't send their postage for the vines" list? LOL Thanks Janetlee
flowerjunkie, if ya get tired and run out of snail vines, let me know I can help out..I got these all over the place here rooted ...Need to thin mine out as well...Nadine
If you have any of the snail vine and/or chocolate vine left-I would love to get some!
Kathy
Flowerjunkie. I sure would like to have some of both. If both are not available then what ever you do have . Just let me know and how much for postage. Binky1972 :))))))
OH i'm probably really late but I would either one or both. Thanks Denise
Ditto - if you have any left of either, I would be happy to trade or send postage and label.
Flowerjunkie, You have mail. :))))))))))
I received my box of chocolate and snail vine cuttings today, flowerjunkie-thank you!! They look good and I have them soaking in glasses of water. I'm wondering if that would be the best way to root them or would moist potting soil be better? Any tips will be greatly appreciated-I've been trying to root cuttings of corkscrew and blue sky vine and am presently batting 0-sure hoping I do better with these.
Mary
mjtip,
I would go ahead and plant them in potting soil. The chocolate vine is hardy to zone 5 so once rooted you can put it right into your bed this winter.
Snail vine is not hardy in your zone. so I would wait until spring to put that out. Potting soil should work for the rooting process also.
Make sure in both case that you put two - three inches of stem under the soil to insure your strike rate.
OK, I'll pot those babies up tomorrow and cross my fingers that they will soon be growing roots. It is so nice of you to share cuttings of these expensive vines-you went to a lot of trouble and it is appreciated.
flowerjunkie
any left? i sure would like some plmk moretz
Oh yes. I have both as many people have not sent in their postage.
Daisy..Mine Arrived in great shape this morning thanks alot.. just a day of a soak then rightinto the potting soil as you suggested... Thanks again.. I had Vigna before and loved her.. but I gave her to a friend to overwinter and never got a cutting before she bit the dust there during the next summer.. so happy she's returned to me..she'll not leave here again...
Gordon
You have mail!:o)
ok so i am guessing 3.85 for postage or what was you needing? it is cold here do you think it would be a good idea to send them now since they arent rooted? plmk and thxs
moretz
moretz,
Oh sure it should be fine as long as the mail wonderful mail service doesn't leave it on someone elses door step for 7 days like they did your variegated lemon. Ever since you said that the lemon froze I have been packing as much newspaper around the plants I ship to ensure they don't freeze in case they go on extended joy ride. I even shipped stuff to NY just last week and the plant arrive in perfect condition.
You know my address. $3.85 cent stamp is more than enough. But please include a note telling me what you want.
Daisy
HI,
Is your snail vine Phaselous or Vigna caracalla. Some people use the term snail vine interchangeably.
Jan...
In the first post she provides a link to the Phaselous - and sure is a beaut. After reading your e-mail, I went into the pdb and saw the corkscrew plant... Bad, budgielover!!! (Now I gotta have THAT, too!) Oh, my! So many plants, so little space! lol! You guys are killing me - but what a way to go! ~:-)))
Its Snail Vine Vigna caracalla but its also called Phaseolus caracalla & Phaseolus gigantea. If you click on the link above you'll see the photo of the actual flower and vine that I am offering.
I can hardly stand the wait - I swear, what kind of a moron would become addicted to flowers in NY in the FALL??? (Ok, that would be me!)
Poor Sequee,
I messed up, thought I was one day ahead on the calender. I just corrected it...please look above. But your box is going out today...NOW does that make you feel better?
Yes, ma'am!
The contractors are supposed to be finishing my new upstairs over the weekend, and they are building me a wall-to-wall 8" shelf under the windows on both dormers - Oh, boy! That gives me 10 more feet of window space! (And 10 more feet of plants to water - hmmmm!)
Thanks again - I stop hounding you and start handing the mail carrier!
Sequee,
That sounds exciting. You must post photos once you have all your babies resting on the shelf.
Well I am guessing I am too late for the generous offer that you have made, but I will take a chance and maybe just maybe get lucky??
If you have either or both I would love them.
Thanks so much for even considering it.
Alice
Just keep your fingers crossed that "the boys" show up this weekend - this project was started in June!
aknapp
Sure,
You can get some. I'll send you an email.
Daisy
Daisy you are absolutely wonderful.
I am so excited!!! I don't even know how to thank you!!!
Flowerjunkie,
Please check the following link as there is a difference in the two plants. Even the seeds are very different, the vigna being about about 4-5 times the size of phaselous.
