Ok...I decided I'd better find out what I need to start digging up.
Mitch, you wanted some Obedient plant? This stuff looks really bad when you move it, but it eventually comes back. It should be fine next summer. This is what it looks like...
...me too Konkrete...she really has it going on...thinks of everything! I hear ya on bringing stuff back home after you have dug it up...if no one mentions anything...I will just bring what ever I have. now that is CORN flower....not Coneflower ....very pretty foilage. I will need too dig it up...but thats cool.
Sylvia
Now don't dig it up if you weren't wanting to, or if you can't! Not sure how digging works with no thumbs! lol I'll force myself to get prepared and maybe I'll have something you'd like. I am hoping to spend ALL day outside when this cool front comes thru. :)
Oh My...I just saw my birthday thread! you guys are something else! Thank you!
Guys I am going to be fine! I work in a doctors office and my little coworker loves to bandage me up ...its just the right thumb thats a mess...I think it finally stop bleeding. lol
Konkrete ... no problem! besides the yard man is coming over Saturday morning.:) And I need some of that Physostegia...I killed mine spilled a bag of nitrogen on it...can you believe it? that suff goes everywhere didnt think anything could get rid of it! I miss it too...it blooms so beautiful in september.

Great I will bring one - got to love lizards tail! Adding it to my list . . . ummm what else can I bring?
Sylvia, my heart has been broken by hostas too many times - they simply melt down here. (I can't figure out how people in Houston grow them, but I've heard that they do.) I would love some ajuga, thanks!
Sheila, I will bring some cat's whiskers for you.
What color cat's whiskers do you have? I have a small white one that I grew from a cutting. Do yours come back? do you collect seeds??
Wow! things are really heating up as the weather cools down, won't that be wonderful?
Sheila,I have Phlox and Turk's Cap that you can have.
Paige, that Obedient plant looks beautiful, if you have extra I would like some, also some of the Tecome Stans seed. Tell me what you want.
I will update the Attendance thread on Thursday.
Josephine.
kkb, my cat's whiskers are white. This is my first experience with them, just got it at the first part of Aug, so I'm not sure if it'll come back for me. I trimmed it back when I first planted it, took cuttings at that time. It hasn't bloomed since, until a day before Rita. Now it's covered!
The place where I "got" my cutting also had a purple one. I forgot which mine would be until it bloomed. It was a little cutting that I kept inside all winter, then carefully put it outside in the spring. I've only had 2 blooms but I do love it! Is yours big? pic?
Thanks Maggiemoo, I would love the cat's whiskers, is there something on my list I can save for you?
I would love to have a start of your Phlox and Turk's Cap Frostweed! Let me know what I can bring for you.
Sheila
Hello Sheila, may be some Lizards Tail and Pickerel Plant if you still have some.
Josephine.
If not Josephine you can take mine - I can get a cutting from you in the Spring.
Mitch, you are so kind, we shall see.
Josephine.
Anything for you Josephine :-)
Water Hyacinth and water lettice
I can bring some from my neighbors pond.
You can not buy it in Texas but dont say anyone cannot give you some. LOL
Will fill a five gallon bucket.

Can we grow that in TX?
If it is ok to grow what would you like in trade?
Hey guys I got pics.lol
Josephine this is yours ..took it tonight:)
Konkrete look the babies (cornflower)will be in bloom before Christmas.
Shelia I think these are Seed pods on this Lily of the nile...would you like them?
Maggie my Ajuga is beautiful in bloom and it has beautiful bronze foilaige.
Wow, Sylvia, I had no idea ajuga blooms were so pretty! I was just glad for a good shade ground cover, thanks!!
HEY ...LETS DO THE HAPPY DANCE .... IT RAINED TONIGHT!
SYLVIA
Josephine you have pickerl and lizard's tail tagged for you.
Yes Sylvia, I will take the seed pods and try those, what can I save for you?
TA, I would love to get some of the Water Hyacinth, what can I put aside for you?
Thank you Sheila, much appreciated.
Josephine
I will try to make it on Sunday, but it will be later, after church! I hope that you all will still be there, then!
Josephine, you said that soil, perlite and something else is what you would like, right? I don't have much at all to trade, but I do have your Blue mistflower (Eupatorium) for you... I have kept it alive!
Mel
TThank you Mel, the Blue Mist will be fine, no need to bring other things.
Josephine.
I just don't have a lot of plants that can divide yet, so I've just got a few things that aren't doing too well right now in tiny pots. They've been there too long and need a home, but not sure they will even bloom this year.
I've got:
2 Candle Trees (these will bloom)
a few Mexican Feather grasses
a few TX Star Hibiscus (not sure)
3 Paprika yarrow (next spring)
red salvia anyone?! (yes)
1 or 2 tiny Esparanza (not sure)
A couple Obedient plants
red or yellow cannas
Purple and green "jew"
I'll keep looking...
Seeds:
sea oats
TX Star hibiscus
Pale purple/pink Gomphrena
Purple Gomphrena
Strawberry Fields Gomphrena
False Queen Anne's Lace
Pink Flamingo Celosia
Orange Cosmos
False Sunflower
Basil (I think Tai Queen...need to look up)
Zexmenia
zinnias

What are you looking for for the Candle trees?
Nothing in particular. Anything that has blooms that butterflies or hummers like is what I like. Do you want one? If we had the swap earlier in the year I could have brought more, but ended up just letting them grow, so I've got 5 in my yard! Mine last year got huge, so I might be in trouble.
Did i ask someone for obediant plants(physo)?
Sylvia
Ummm butterflies... I would love one! but butterflies... gonna have to think out that one.
What about some Daylily? I have several named colored ones if you are interested...LMK Mitch
Yes Sylvia, you asked me for some. At least that's what I thought you were talking about, since I don't know it's proper name. lol
Sure Mitch, a Daylily is fine. I had my first ones this year and was quite happy with them.
I will not be able to make the swap on Sunday, October 2. Thought maybe it could happen, but not so. Would love to see you guys. Maybe another swap.
So what color is your color or is there a named ones on your list to see if I have an extra of it sitting around? (hehehe) I have several so a general direction would be most helpful - Egyptian Ibis being my newest I need to plant. LMK I will dig everything today! Mitch
Thank you Konkrete....yours are the same color of mine and I got one lonely bloom out there.:(
Also I asked some one for that Crossvine ...was that you Maggie? :)
Shelia that chinese Forget me nots is that a shade plant?
btw...I am bringin Chicken salad and Chunky salsa with chips ....made with herbs from my garden. :)
Sylvia
