Calif. Roundup-June 25 - Plant trades

Arrange your trades here! This thread is for people who plan to attend the Calif. Roundup on June 25th at Drdons home in Temecuala.
While most of us will bring more than what's here, threads like this will help us all decide what to toss in our vehicles before we get on the road. .

For those of you who haven't done this already, just start your own post in this thread and keep up with your items to swap in that one post. You can go back and change your lists of things that you will have to swap and things that others have promised you whenever you make a deal with someone.

Ok, here is my REAL list of what I have available for trading.

If I show Don's list of salvias to my hummers, they will be salivating all over the patio. Please put me down for at least a costa rica blue. The "boys club" in my front yard will be ecstatic. They spurn all feeders in favor of mexican sage.

You've got a deal frogsrus.

The hummers are doing the happy dance lol! I just removed the giant blue shrimp plant and I am currently in the dog house. I guess I had best get my list up.
Janice

Donna, Caryopteris sounds like I am bringing you a dinosaur lol.

Don promised: 1 pup of Agave parryi to DennisO
1 cutting of Salvia guaranitica 'Costa Rica Blue' to frogsrus

I have started my real plant list in the first post above. I still need to post the seeds available.

Donna

hiya SoCal,

Very interested in your Adiantums. Are they a cold hardy variety? And the big question, is there anything on my list or anything you've seen in my gardens that you'd like to trade for some?

I've got some Cassias is you're interested. Cassia javanica, C. fistula, C. reticulata. All well rooted seedlings. Also have Phlomis fruiticosa (Jerusalem sage) if your interested in rooted cuttings.

Can also root Justicia or Pachystachys for you.

Does my desperation show too much? :-P
Best,
Don

...oooo....just peekin' in.......

it's not looking good for me to come X~( so I just thought I would see what e'rey body has. I'm keeping hope alive....maybe things will change!

Karen :~D

SoCal: I would LOVE the Kniphofia or the maidenhair fern.

Also: 5 Cucurbita maxima "Lumina" pumpkin seedlings (2 to jcangemi)
4 adolescent Helianthus annus "Moulin Rouge" sunflower plants
35 orange Canna indica seeds - harvested today
14 orange Canna indica bulblets
20 Amaryllis belladonna bulbs
20 four-o-clock tubers


Sorry i'm a little short-stocked i'm just beginning my horticultural collection.

Naien do not worry. Many of us would be very happy to leave with far fewer plants than we arrive with. I was smiling. The first time I planted red sunflowers, my DH thought I had stuck fake flowers in the garden. They look "wrong" to him.

Now lets see. And just where exactly would I put a pumpkin Lol.

Edited cause my fingers and the keys do not seem to be in sync today

Hi Nadien,

Glad you found this thread. I hope you found the RU thread, that I just resent to you in the email I sent. lol
If your planning to come to the RU, I would be glad to give you some of the Kniphophia and Maidenhair fern.

As Janice mentioned above, don't worry if you don't have any plants to trade with, many of us (me included) has lots of extras to give away. I will put you down on my list in case you can come to the RU.

All the plants I have listed are extras, so if anyone wants any of them and doesn't have anything to trade with, just let me know and it's yours.

Don, I have you down for the Maidenhair fern also. I am still looking at your lovely list of what I would like too.

Donna

Splendid - I just posted on the RU page and am planning on attending for sure, it sounds like a good time.

I don't have much either but here's my list so far:

Kalihi Ginger rhizomes (6 - maybe more)
Cotoneaster Lacteus (4 - very big)

Added 5/31
Blue Rhythm Iris (3)

If anyone grows African Violets, I have three pots to give away. (1 white - 2 green)

I'll update the list as things change

SoCal. . . .Please put me down for the following. Hope I'll have some things you'd like when I get my act (I mean list) together. Thanks ;-jcangemi

Incarvillia seeds
Dwarf Papyrus 'Nanus'
Physostegia - Obedient plant

Janet, I would like one of the Aporocactus flageliformis 'Rattail.' What would you like in trade? I have a few epidendrum 'reed stemmed orchids.'

jcangemi,

I have you down for the plants you wanted from me. I'll let you know about yours soon.

Donna

jcangemi -

i would love the queen's tears if you could spare it :)
my trade list is somewhere at the top of this thread. Thanks!

George & naien . . .got you down for those.

naien. . . how about 1 Cucurbita maxima "Lumina" (or two if noone else asks for it. . .got a big area to grow them in ;-)

George. . .I would love some epidendrum 'reed stemmed orchids.

Thanks, Janet

hiya jcangemi,

Would gladly trade S. guaranitica 'Costa Rica Blue' for one of your rattails if they are not all promised at this time. You are down for the Salvia anyway.

Nice to meet you.

Don

Since it seems these plants are rooting faster than I had thought I have a couple more additions to my trade list.

Salvia patens- Gentian Sage (8)
Cassia reticulata seedlings (4)
Cassia javanica seedlings (4)
Cassia fistula seedlings (4)
Zephyranthes candida (6)- multiple plants in 4" pots
Ledebouria socialis (6) post bloom divisions in 4" pots

There may be more if the heat continues.

Don

drdon You're down for a 'rattail' and thanks for the 'Costa Rica Blue' . . .

Likewise, looking forward to meeting you soon. . . ;-Janet

Woohoo! I've been eyeing one of those at a local nursery, but they wanted an arm and a leg for the specimen size..Thanks very much!

I just figured something out. . .duh!!! When I went in to edit my plant list, I could edit out the


'This message was edited on May 31 at 5:28PM'

etc. messages from my previous edits leaving only the current one when you hit send.

Takes me awhile sometimes. . . . ;-Janet
(Might save some space in these long posts too! as I can imagine by 6/25, could get rather long. What fun we're having!! ;-)))

dovey, a ginger for me please. Thanks frogs

Don, how much water does the cassia need? Can I put it in the ground here? I have been clearing out and ammending a new home for salvias. The resident hummers are much interested. Did you know that they swipe bugs from spiderwebs? Caught one at it today. No camera in my back pcket-just clippers.

hiya frogsrus,

That would be a fabulous photograph, a hummer stealing from a spider. In some countries spiders actually catch birds in their webs. Now there's a sight.

I would say that in your zone you can certainly plant C. reticulata in the ground. C. fistula is a minor gamble and C. javanica is for pots and for winter protection unless you've got a warm spot close to a dryer vent that runs all night with sun for 12hrs a day...lol. C. javanica is one of my favorite plants. I had it in Cardiff and planted it at our place in Laguna Beach, but it only grew on the south side of a building with black mulch during the winter to absorb heat. Our air temps don't bother it as much as our soil temps.

C. reticulata has marvellously deep flowers that hummers do flips for. But few plants even come close to Salvias for hummer activity as you know.

Hope your saving frogs...ours are getting more and more elusive....lol. They've moved from the back garden fountain to the new rose garden where they can hide better.....bloody amphibian Houdinis.

I'll reserve you some Cassias if you'd like and whichever Salvias you fancy.

best,
Don

Frogs
I have you down for Kalihi Ginger, it smells wonderful
Dove

Dovey,

I'm saving a Wisteria sinensis for you. This one is already acclimated.

Don

Don, should I have Fiona catch you a bucketful of frogs before we head your way. No diminished population here. We can hardly watch tv for the ribbiting going on outside. The tadpoles seem to find brug roots to be fine dining.

Well I have the dryer vent but am a little lacking in the sunshine in winter so reticulata it is. Any and all salvias are greatly appreciated. I am getting rid of the lawns so have a fair area to turn into vegetable delight and hummer haven. I will warn the hummers about that bird eating spider but they are so spoiled that they do not travel far from home. Removal of the mexican sage would probably cause a revolt lol. I was much cussed for removing the poor sad tired blue shrimp plants. I tried to explain that the seedlings would grow if they would be patient. You know how patient hummers are LOL!

Janice

I'll save one of each of the Salvias for you, and I've got one Salvia madrensis (forsythia sage) for you as well. This is a rarity for Salvias in that it is yellow flowering and very lovely. I'll also save you a Cassia reticulata and a C. fistula.

One of my favorite sights in the Yucatan are the Cassia fistula street trees in the city of Merida. They are called Lluvia de Oro in Mexico (Rain of Gold). They are just fabulous in bloom and should do well in your area because we got one to overwinter here thus the reason for planting more seed. Truly a striking flowering tree.

best,
Don
