i'm interested in collecting a large number of different varieties of different genus of aroids and/or canna. I would be willing to trade for plants or seeds, and am willing to supply any plants/seeds/postage that i have. please dmail me or post here and let me know if you have anything.
aroid paranoid (cannas, too!)
Do you have Limbata Canna? I could send a couple your way...
Julie
is that the yellow water canna? i'd love some if you have some to spare. dmail me with what you'd like for them.
I have angel pink, pink and red futurity, rosamond cole, red king humbert. I have loads of angel pink seeds ready to harvest. lmk.
I have lots of fresh Canna 'warscewiczii' seeds. This is a species canna which grows quickly from seed and it is highly resistant to leaf rollers. Be happy to send a supply for postage.
ardesia - are you in the exchange? species cannas are exactly what i'm looking for, i appreciate the offer so much.
twiggy - any seeds you have please feel free to send my way ;) anything of mine you were interested in?
Naien, I see your address is in the exchange. Will be happy to send seeds for postage. You can send the postage when you see the amount.
I bought my original plant from Yucca Do Nursery in TX. For some reason I can't open their web site today so I can post the link but it is www.yuccado.com. You can see the warscewiczii there.
anything difficult I need to know to grow canna from seed? I have always just divided mine...I thought maybe it might take to long to grow from seed.
thanks'

Jackie,
Beautiful plant. Can you ID it for us?
Thanks.

Steve,
This one is a King Red Humbert, sometimes grows to almost 10 feet around the ponds....photgraphs a bit off, but it is actually a bright red/orange...more red..great foilage burgandy with dark green....I am looking to trade for any named or not .........bright green leaf with white stripes or markings...any color bloom. I am dividing cannas now..(actually some today)....my weather is still very mild here...

Hi Naien: I have an heirloom canna that may be this but I don't know for sure. Looks like it. http://davesgarden.com/pf/showimage/9693/
It is from one of the old gardens of our 1899 home. As luck would have it I am planning on digging up a bunch of the tubers as soon as it quits raining. This old canna bugs me because it gets leaf rollers in my area. I also have a few Tropicanna tubers. Interested in a trade?
Jackie - I have this one - I was just about to go to work on naming it. I also have a Tropicanna.
Interested?
Steve
jackieshar - I placed some Limbata seeds in a pot of damp peat & they sat there for 3 months. Then I dug them out & used a metal file to scrape the seed coat, & dipped them in nearly hot water for a minute. I had sprouts within a week - 100% germination. They were easy to grow - you just have to scrape them really well! I do not know if the hot water really made a difference or not.
Julie
sure steve,
we can trade a couple or 3.....lemme know how,what,where
