I had a nice one I received in a trade from someone last year. I watched it grow from a small plant to 6 feet over the summer. When I moved from Lauderdale, I had to leave it behind. It was blooming all summer long and I love that red.

To make the trade a little more desireable, I could take more than one. I have some white butterfly gingers to spare, some celosia argentea spicata 'pink candle'

Please let me know.
Thanks

CLOSED: Looking for Turk's Cap
molly, if no one else offers you this plant lmk as i can send it. i am just overextended with trading right now and my funds are tight. so let someone else trade with you if they can. but if you didn't find anyone else i just wanted you to know i do have this plant and could get you one. mine is the small flowered one. barb
Thanks Barb,
The small flowered one is what I was looking for. I will let you know if I get no other offers.
Thanks,
Molly
:^)))
i think i can find a million seeds of it on some plants...i'll look and see what i have
Thanks Bob.
Molly, I have a small plant already rooted. If you can wait until after May 1st, I'll gladly send it to you. I'm swamped this week, so I can't do it right now.
BTW it's actually called Sleepy Hibiscus, Malvaviscus drummondii http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/56887/index.html I believe that's the one you had because you gave me a cutting (doing great now) . Turk's Cap is a different one, Malvaviscus arboreus var. mexicanus, the flowers hang down and the leaves are different. http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/1819/index.html
Here is a picture of mine

jnana, thank you for clearing this up for me at least. i knew there were different ones but didn't know how to differentiate. barb
i don't think that pic is MOnk's Cap
think mine are more fernlike looking
Val,
That would be great!!!!! I guess I got the names mixed up. I just wanted to be sure I wasn't asking for the "lily" one.
How's that purple/burgundy amaranth doing that I so adored? Any seeds yet?
I have some pygmy torch I grew from seeds, some celosia argentea spicata 'pink candle' doing very well. The pygmy torch I evidently grew from seed, put it out before my last trip to Lauderdale and forgot about it. I've been watching it grow in my sedum bed and wondered where the heck THAT came from. Then I found a tag with my writing on it. getting older is so funny, haha.
Let me know if I can send you something too.
Molly
:^)))
Wow, took me a while to post. Here's the one I had in my old yard down south.
Molly, I'll gladly send it to you. I don't need anything at this point plus you've given me plenty already.
I'll be sending a package to another member on the 1st or 2nd at the latest, i'll send yours that day. I need your address so Dmail me.
Take care!!

I've been getting some nice bare root bulbs/corms or whatever they are from a lady in Tennesee. I found her on e-bay. They are quite inexpensive and very healthy. Her store is Clampam's General Store. She has many different woodland plants, including Turk's cap.
Thanks Nellie, I'll take a look.
