Hello. I am interested in your green cymbium orchid and naked ladies. I am sending you an email. Shirley

I am interested in your:

cannas--burgundy foliage w/orange flowers (5')
cannas--green foliage w/yellow flowers and orange spots (3')
green cymbidium orchid
purple foxglove

would like the watsonia, but don't think it is hardy in my zone.

I would love some naked ladys...I have dark purple irises and dark pink irises.

shirley, i will check your email and respond shortly.

deb: OK, you just keep snapping pics of those iris as they come up : )
oh, and if you have any more of that gorgeous purple columbine i saw, add that to my wishlist...check on cymbidiums for your zone too b/c mine never did well indoors (too dry and warm)--they love it outside here which is how i manage to keep them alive.

heather, yes, please send me a trade list : ) would love some lotus too! mine only sprouted after I scarified them--which involved a blood sacrifice i might add.

potofgold--no thanks on the iris but happy to send you as many as your heart desires if you'll cover postage!

on the cymbidiums, i was highlighting the foxglove to copy and inadvertently got the cymbidiums too. I didn't mean to include those in what I would like to have. Only the cannas and foxglove. I have bookoodles of the columbine.

deb

Heather

Hi !
I would be interested in your green bamboo,naked lady bulbs and blackberries. . I have sent you an e-mail with trade info....
darmadoll

people who are interested in the naked ladies please send me an email saying how many you want, you can have as much as you want just know they get a bit heavy for postage. (maybe you want parcel post or first class for less, they are very hardy!)

trading people i'll check back later to respond, have to go to work : (

Any of your naked ladies left for postage?


Denise

people who are interested in the naked ladies please send me an email saying how many you want and your address. i'll let you know about the postage. thanks!

I can't imagine I'll run out but I won't know until I have some idea how many are being claimed...and it's a 1st-email-1st served situation!
TT

TT, I'd love any of the following, if possible:

white watsonia
flax lily (Dianella tasmanica)
iris--mixed
canturbury bells
naked ladies

Now, to figure out what I have that you might like in trade! African violets (have plantlets of several, leaves of most other, please see my thread on the AV forum), Black-eyed susans, 'Kentucky Colonel' spearmint, peppermint, catnip, magenta rose campion (small seedlings). Oh, you mentioned fruiting plants, so how about a couple of 'Italian Alpine' strawberries? (They are good in the garden or in containers and bear tiny, intensely flavored berries -- like strawberry candy.) I also have small, wintersown seedlings that I could ship when they're a bit larger of 'Yellow Wonder Alpine' and 'Alexandria' alpine strawberries. I'm trying to propagate some scented geraniums ('Attar of Roses' & 'Chocolate Peppermint') and herbs (various thymes, 'Hot & Spicy' greek oregano), but I have nothing definite there at the moment. I should have purple mullein and purple verbascum seedlings to offer, but those were also wintersowed & are still tiny at present, as are some 'Bowles Black' viola seedlings. LMK if I've piqued your interest yet with any of these!

I would love a few of your naked ladies for postage if you've any left. Thank you so much, Doris

critter, i like the purple mullein and purple verbascum

OK! They're very tiny at the moment -- just getting their second pair of true leaves -- so I'm guessing they might ship better once they're a little bigger. I also have some verbascum that I think should be white with a purple eye (at least that's what the person who sent the seeds told me). I can probably also find some seeds you might like... I think I still have magenta gladiolus seeds that I got as a bonus in a trade (I don't have a good place to plant glads where I can lift them in fall). I also have a few extra seeds for purple crepe myrtle and purple beautyberry (still trying to work out how to germinate those). Oh! You'll be amused by this; I was about to offer to share some purple canterbury bell seeds with you, and then I realized you were the one who had sent me the generous packet of them!

Would you be interested in a seedling or two of Amaranthus lividus? (taller plant with gorgeous burgundy stems & foliage; I have seeds for this too) I also have a tall burgundy-leaved perennial that gets little yellow flowers (I need to try to ID this one), grows well in part shade, and spreads readily so I have plenty to dig & share.

I'll DG email you when the seedlings are ready to send. I don't know if you want to hold a couple of things for me until then or just have me owe you my part of the trade, so LMK what works for you. If some disaster were to befall the flat of verbascum, I'm sure I could find something else you'd like or some way to even things up if you'd already sent stuff, but I don't really know the protocol here. (I'm new to DG & even newer to trading plants!)

I would love to trade for your oregano,lemon balm,and red yarrow! I have pink/purple mums,red dianthus,and more:) Please let me know,I can email you with the rest:)

Thanks,Chelsea

hi chelsea--please email me

critter and others--i apologize for the delay, had to go out of town for a few days...
today i began gathering packing and shipping. tomorrow i hope to complete all unfinished trades and then repost which what-all is left : )

for anybody who has requested naked ladies: the postage has to be flat rate box for 7.70. i can stuff a LOT in there but it is getting pretty pricey for me, even for trades, which i'm used to doing for the usual 3.85...so if you fall into this category please let me know how you feel about chipping in a bit extra for the shipping in a PM.

thanks everyone!
tatyana

I'd be happy to chip in for shipping.... I'm pretty sure your box will go for $3.85 when it's ready, maybe a dollar more if you want a bunch of those tall burgandy NOIDs (pretty, but they do spread). I figure it's always fair to ask to have postage evened up on a trade, one way or another. Shall I enclose the difference in my box to you, or would you like me to ante up ahead of time since my seedlings may not be big enough to travel for a while?

Oh, and feel free to trim my list of course... especially if I can't interest you in more than those little purple mullein and purple verbascum seedlings. For example, I'm sure I'll be able to start some canterbury bells from seed eventually (wintersowing wasn't successful for reasons unknown), so maybe somebody else can use them.

No rush on shipping mine, but PLMK when they're on their way so I can watch for them. We don't have a regular mail carrier anymore, and I can't seem to train them all to please bring plants to the door..... if it can be crammed in the mailbox, in it goes, regardless of labeling. If you want to hold a couple of things for me & wait on a report that my seedlings are still thriving and have become sturdy enough to send, that would be fine. I don't know if you've successfully sent smaller seedlings.... I'm willing to try, if you want, but I've only sent fairly sturdy stuff thus far.

Thanks so much!
