Dallas Plant Swap - In Pics!
Well, we had a wonderful day and we are happily worn out, there were so many plants to choose from, a lot to carry back and forth to the cars, but there was a lot of happy swapping and we all went home feeling plant rich.
The best part is that we got to meet our friends whom we had never met in person, and also got to see the ones, we had already met but had not seen for a while.
There was a lot of hugging and smiling, and it was all lovely. Now let us give good homes to all these plants.
We are ready to do it all over again, ( next year ) We need to rest first.
Here is the adorable Malachi, Mitch's little boy
Ted and Mich, sharing .

Good job Josephine! Thanks for posting your pictures. I enjoyed my first plant swap very much. It was so nice to put faces with all of the names. I think I came home with more plants than I left with. But as Ted said, at least they are diferent ones! Hate that I didn't bring my camera today. :-(
Sheila
Thank you Sheila, It was very exciting to meet everyone, and yes, too many plants, but that makes it fun, it was good to meet you too.
Josephine.
Thank you everyone for a wonderful get togather. Got every thing inside and watered. Have to go and buy some soil to layer on top of my clay. LOL
Josephine and Mitch thanks for putting this one on. Got a lot of nice plants from you and old goodies from Mitch.
Sheila thanks for the pond plants.
How did the class go that afternoon, I got stuck in traffic on I30 going home. Took two hours to get off I30 due to an accident.
Thuy, Anh,Sylvia and Tina loved trading with you and Anh I will get with you on the fish.
Mary, Mel and Tex thanks for the trades.
I am sorry, I got Cyntia confused with Carolyn and switched the names, I apologize.
Ted the class went fine, I am sorry you had trouble on the road. Thank you very much for all the wonderful seeds you gave me, when I have the plants I will pass them around here to the group too, thank you again, you are so sweet.
Josephine.
Thanks for sharing the pics! I was so scatterbrained feeling yesterday that I just decided to leave mine in my bag and look at y'alls. I'm glad to see that you have names with the pics, now I know Thuy and Anh's names!
Ahh Ted, that's crummy that you got stuck in bad traffic!
OK, got a few pics cropped and ready!

Ok Mel, there are not enough compliments to justify you cropping that bizarre picture of my head so big! Stop playing with that program!
...but thanks anyways! ;) Mel is a great partner in crime..uh, I mean gardening. (seed snatching anyone?)
Thank you Mel, great pictures, I like the borders too. Josephine.
Melanie is that your water feature? and did you say you were moving? How are you going to leave that beautiful site?
