I have just a few more plants I would like to trade off. These are for TRADE ONLY, none for postage. Whatever I have left that I don't want, I will ship to a gardening friend in southern CA.
I am primarily interested in named daylilies--big, bold, ruffly, golddusted, eyed, bitoned, reblooming, etc. I have 350 varieties and so I am not looking for any "unnamed peach" or Sammy Russell or something common.
I'm also interested in elephant ears I don't have, especially black leafed ones (I have Black Magic and Illustris already).
I'm also looking for gallon sized or bigger Aucuba Japonica Variegata (aka Gold Dust). I'm looking for the one that is hardy in zone 7 not a houseplant. I could use 4 or 5 of these for a new bed that now has some shade since I put up a privacy fence.
You can look here to see a list of some of the plants I already have in my collection and to get an idea of other plants I might be interested in:

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. Tanarae, a member here, gave me a cow skull and a horseshoe. I'm looking for other ranch decor, like an old cowboy hat in decent shape--not to wear but to hang near the front door and an old pair of colorful cowboy boots that I could use as planters, and other ideas.
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.
I would also trade some of my plants for gardening magazines, like Garden Gate, Horticulture, and other garden related mags. I already get Better Homes and Gardens as well as Phoenix Home and Garden.
I would also trade for Preen and Roundup concentrates.
I'm open to other suggestions but please don't be offended if I don't accept your offer. I have very specific ideas, but occasionally a new idea can win me over. So give it your best shot.
PLANTS I HAVE FOR SPECIAL TRADES: (for something I REALLY want) are:
These are the elephant ears I have to trade.
These are nice sized plants.
Excalibur
Fallax (Silver Leaf)- a dwarf
Amazonica
Wentii (large plants)
Illustris
Black Magic
And I do have a small Green Shield that has tiny babies I might be able to separate.
But they would be very small with a nice little bulb.
I may also be able to divide my Musa Zebrina, but I could only send the bulb.
The plant is currently 4 ft tall. So I'd have to cut it down.
I also have these canna rhizomes to trade:
Tropicanna
Tropicanna Gold
Tropical Sunrise
Peach Blush
Red Stripe
I have these peacock gingers:
Kaempferia - Silver Spot
Cornukaempferia - Jungle Gold

Apple Mint
Violets that are white with a lavender face (like pansies)
Pond Plants:
Water Lettuce
Water Hyacinths

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 won't trade for just one plant. I like to do bigger trades with several plants in a box to make the most of my postage and time.
Thanks for looking. I hope to get in a couple more trades before winter so I can clear out some of these plants.

CLOSED: HAVE: Elephant Ears, Cannas, Daylilies, Bananas, Perennials

OK, I'll bite! Take a look at my trade list to see if there is something that may interest you. Due to our pending weather this weekend, I am going to get a bunch of things ready tonight and ship tomorrow.
musa zebrina
some Perennial blue ageratum
some violets
Thank you! ana
Thanks to all of you who have traded with me. It's been fun meeting and chatting with many of you. My cooties and I are returning to our regularly scheduled life now. I wish you all many wonderful blooms for years to come.
