Spring/Summer Secret Plant Trade??
Eyes, I, too, am going to have to back out of this swap. Thanks anyhow! Sandy
Wondering about the dates for this....will the name exhanges be done on 6/15.........or should the trades be out by then? (if that's the case...then, do we know when the names will be drawn)
I'm such a planner...........can't help myself!
Thank you!
Eyes, i am going to drop out too, Just too many different opinions going on.
Good LUCK guys!
Jaimee
My list is just to give an idea or two. I like lots of things and will be pretty happy with what I get.
Me too! On my list are things I'd like to get sometime in the future but not necessarily from my secret gardener "Santa". :) It's just to give an idea of what "flavors" I like. :)
I'm easy......but don't spread that around ;)
Jenn "Grennthumber"
I'll revise my original post. Cutoff doe joining will be June 10. I will have all names sent out by June 15. All trades MUST BE MAILED by June30, 2005.
"eyes"
My list too is not a "This is all I want and it must be one of them" thing, just things I would like. As a person who sometimes buys the half dead leftover bulbs and overwatered orchids from home depot and the grocery store (to revive them lol), I'm sure I'll be happy with whatever I get:-)
Eyes--thanks for the update.............I'm ready!
Eyes,
I would like to join up too. It's been a while since I've done this now.
Okay, for my do not wants: As with most, No Cannas
No common tropicals and no house plants
I have a zone 9 bed with hostas, heucheras and violas so I push that zone thing just a bit.
I like the unusual and uncommon in tropicals
I would really like plants that when they say they like "full sun" they really mean it. Our sun, full day is too much for many perennials. I have a drybed for sedums and succulents, unusual ones.
This may seem vague, but if my trader is from the south, she/he will know what I am talking about. If you are from the north, it's wide open.

:^)))
I love these:
gladiola bulbs
dahlia bulbs
canna-any
calla-any
EE-any
any spring bulbs
tuberose bulbs
any lily bulb-Asiatic, Oriental etc.
hosta-love the mini's!
daylily-Daughter of Magic, Wild Horses, Charlene, any spider form
iris-japanese, siberian, louisian, dutch, any size bearded
and I am not a picky person by any means! will love whatever is sent my way!
deb
Oh, me too, for sure!! Just did one of these with the local MG's and got lots more things than I can use -- but what great fun, and what amazingly generous plant-sharing.
I'm sure I'd like most things, but no houseplants and no vines (except datura), and no orange-- (for some reason the color makes me growl).
I'd like
woodland plants -especially celandine poppy & woodland phlox
penstemons, both tall and alpines
rock garden plants
heathers
acanthus hungaricus
more penstemons
sedum except Autumn Joy
phlox paniculata
browallia (an annual that I can't find -- the blue one)
more penstemons
gaura
crocosmia -- my Lucifer died
Oh, this is going to be fun!! (Did I mention penstemon?)
Pat
June 15-30 ;(
I am leaving for a family vacation on the 17th and coming home the 29th. With that, i sadly remove my name from the list.
Thank you so much for setting this up Eyes! Count me in next time.
Melissa
Can I play too? I'm new too, and someone told me about this (thx RDT!) I have a stolen day off, and the weather is perfect, so I will have to post wishes later. But, for the most part, if it will live in RI I have the perfect spot for it.
I am in Eyes. I have a big empty bed just waiting for some perennials/shrubs/etc.
No houseplants, canna's or asiatic lilies please.
Here are some ideas in my head but all zone friendly plants will be loved!
-Kim
peony poppies
speedwell
lambs ear
red yarrow
tree peony
joe pye weed
alium bulbs
ajuga
clematis
Virginia spiderwort-sweet kate
obedient plant
false indigo
spanish lavender/bee

I'm afraid I will have to withdraw from this one. Things have come up.
Thank you "Eyes" maybe I can next time.
Molly
I would love to join in.
I am pretty new to gardening so I will be happy with anything except houseplants, they don't like me very much!!
Thanks,
Mindy
I am new to this. Do I just go dig up something in the yard and I will mail that? Will it survive mailing in a box? Can we send seeds also or does it have to be an actual plant?
Thanks,
Gwen
I have to withdraw as well. Too much going on right now. Sorry!
How many do we have "Eyes"? Are there enough people to play?
-Kim
Here's my 'wishlist'. It's long because I have a lot of wishes. I'm also easy to please.
Aster laevis 'Bluebird'
Rooted cuttings of Japanese variagated willow- Salix integra 'Hakuro-nishiki'
Ghost fern -Arythrium 'ghost'
Digitalis 'Apricot Beauty' or another apricot colored one
Digitalis obscura - sunset foxglove
Veronica 'Crater Lake'
Hosta 'June'
Virginia bluebells - Mertensia virginica
Primula 'Millers Crimson'
Verbascum 'Southern charm', 'Flush of White', or anything like it
Verbascum 'Pink Princess' or anything like it
rooted curly willow
Abutilon megapotamicum 'Seashell' (flowering maple) or "voodoo"
Large flowered deeply colored penstemon of any variety (just not orange)
Echinacea 'Ruby Star'
Geum triflorum - prairie smoke
tall agapanthus
Egyptian papyrus
Hebe cupressoides - whipcord hebe
Hydrangea 'Geoffrey Chadbund'
Hydrangea 'Libelle'.('Dragonfly')
Hydrangea 'Paris'
Hydrangea 'Sensation'
Hydrangea serrata 'Miyama Yae-murasaki'
Iris x 'Holden Clough'
Nepeta 'Souvenir d' Andre Chaudron'
Omphalodes 'Parisian Skies'
Phlomis cashmeriana
Phlox 'David'
Phygelius x rectus 'African Queen'
Hardy white ginger
Sysrinchium striatum 'varigatum' - variagated yellow eye grass
Guess I better add what I don't need or want: no houseplants, cannas, roses, pink tiarellas, creeping phlox, catmint 'walker's low', or mint. This wish list is exactly that: "I wish I could find all these things". I'm open to new and exciting things and probably have a place for it! I do hope we have enough people! This will be fun!
Is it a good idea to specify how large the divisions should be? Like '6 inch pot size' or, 1 fan, something like that?

Eyes,
something has come up and I don't want to but car problems have to come first.
Sorry,
Sandy ^8^
Looks like this one came at a bad time for a lot of folks. I too, must pass the baton on to someone else. New health issues will not permit to continue here, but if anyone is willing to take over so that others are not dissappointed, it would be most gratefully appreciated.
"eyes"
I'm so sorry to hear about your health issues. I really hope it is nothing too bad. I just did the secret hosta trade, and would be glad to do this one if no one else would like to. I'm also doing the 12 month long swap, so what's one more?
Thank you, Carmen, for stepping up! You sure have a lot on your plate. Let me know if you need any help.
~Rachael
Please forgive me but I need to bow out this time.
Brenda
OK
is this on or off???
This is on. I just need to get with Eyes to move forward. This will be a great trade!
I can't wait. I know this will be soooo much fun.
Dee
Thank you pins! All of us in this trade owe you a debt of gratitude.
MAYBE WE SHOULD ALL SEND PINS SOMETHING SHE REALLY WANTS TO PROVE OUR GRATITUDE????????
I agree!! What does Pins REALLY want?
You guys are so funny! You made me laugh this morning, just thinking about what I crave in the garden. I like your thought process, though. (That's not an endorsement to send me something - totally not necessary.)
Maybe we can all agree to send pins our favorite named daylily??????????????????????
And the icing on the cake would be two fans of it!
Okay, folks. I just heard from "eyes" and we'll just start from here. Everyone who wants to participate, please send me your physical address on D-mail. Use S/S Secret Trade so I can differentiate it from the Twelve Month Swap that I'm also hosting.
I'm psyched! Ready? Set? Goooooooooo......
So cool - thanks for helping out - my e-mail is on it's way!
Why are so many backing out? I am still in.
I'm still in.
It's still on. Pins2006 has taken the reins. Please re-send all your data to her. Carmen, dear, I believe it would be best to start a thread for regrouping this trade, and set your own stipulations on it. Y'all have fun now!
