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).
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 books, particularly water gardening and landscape design.
I'm also looking for Donna Dewberry and Bob Ross paint supplies and books.
I'd also trade for professional business software for doing inventory, invoices, and such for a small landscaping business, if any of you have outgrown yours.
I would also trade for Preen, Over the Top and Roundup concentrates.
I'm open to other suggestions but please don't be offended if I don't accept your offer. I am creating exotic gardens here and am only looking for other exotic and rare plants. 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
Musa Zebrina - Bloodleaf Banana - The plant is currently 4 ft tall. So I'd have to cut it down.
Brugmansia - Angel's Trumpet - off white - good rooted plant.
Foxtail fern - asparagus fern with plumes like a fox tail.
I also have these canna rhizomes to trade:
Tropicanna
Tropicanna Gold
Tropical Sunrise
Peach Blush
Red Stripe
Richard Wallace
Orange Beauty
I have these peacock gingers:
Kaempferia - Silver Spot
Cornukaempferia - Jungle Gold
Yellow Walking Iris
Rhodophila - Oxblood Lily
Tulip Poplar tree
Yellow Four Oclocks tubers
Mexican Heather
Perilla Magilla (like a coleus--beautiful foliage) - cuttings
Ornamental Sweet Potato Vines - Blackie, Margarita, and Tricolor - cuttings
Purple Smoke Bush - cuttings
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.
