I have a few plants I need to thin out or clear out. However, I'm not looking for more plants in exchange, as I have so much now to get in the ground. Instead, I'd love some woodburned signs and Ranch or cowboy themed items.
The name of my gardens is The Butterfly Ranch. I intend to build a rail fence all around my property. Below is a pic of the sign at the entrance of my gardens made by a wonderful friend of mine, Tanarae, a member here. Tana also gave me a cow skull and a horseshoe. I'm looking for other ranch decor.
I'd also love to have a sign woodburned neatly with weathered wood to hang by my front door. I'd like for the sign to read:
Cowboy up or
Go sit in the truck.
Other signs with nifty little western sayings would be great too. If you have any ideas or samples of your work, I'd love to hear/see them.
If any of you are skilled enough to make gnome doors, I'd love one about 12 or 14 inches tall for my little gnome village. If you don't know what a gnome door is, it's just a little miniature door you can attach to the side of your house or a tree trunk or something for the little gnomes to go thru. I have a picture of one I like if you'd like to see.
The plants I have to trade are:
unnamed hostas
unnamed daylilies - assorted colors (peach, gold, red, etc)
artemesias - oriental limelight (green and gold leaves) and a silver leafed one
chameleon plant
Tulip Poplar tree
elephant ears - Giant, and Running
sedums
cannas - red futurity, orange beauty, richard wallace
Amaryllis - small bulbs from a peachy-orange plant
Yellow Four Oclocks
Perennial blue ageratum (bluish lavender puffs in the fall--right now)
Mexican Heather
Spearmint
Apple Mint
Violets that are white with a lavender face (like pansies)
Pond Plants:
Yellow Flag Iris
Water Lettuce
Water Hyacinths
Some tiny round "floaties" - not azolla and not salvinia, but I don't know what it is
Houseplants:
unknown Haworthia
Mother of Millions
Cuttings from:
Various coleuses (maybe even whole plants if it's one I have two of)
Perilla Magilla (like a coleus--beautiful foliage)
Ornamental Sweet Potato Vines - Blackie, Margarita, and Tricolor
Purple Smoke Bush
I'm still digging and rearranging and may run across more plants during my digging. If you don't have much in your gardens but you are crafty, we might could just help each other out. Some of these plants need to find a home before winter.
If you live close enough to do an inperson trade, I'll trade for Roundup or Preen.
Thanks for looking. I hope to get in a couple more trades before winter so I can clear out some of these plants.
