Still trying to replace some of the tropicals I lost last year. I guess that's the price I paid for having so many. LOL!!
Anyway, my "looking for" list is a lot longer than my "have" list, but I'll be thrilled if I can find one or two of them.
I am looking for:
Alocasia Wentii
Red Thai Banana
Xanthosoma Lime Zinger
Curcuma yunnan plume and austrailiastica(just a shot in the dark, lol)
Chinese yellow banana
Have:
Hedychium pink v ginger
Colocasia Antiquorum Illustrus aka Imperial Taro
Curcuma Elata aka Hawaiian Ginger
City of Portland Cannas
Ananas Manorama spineless ornamental pineapple
Colocasia Miranda
Costus spicatus aka indianhead ginger
Anyway, this is most of what I am looking for, if anyone has these extra, please email me and I will see if there is anything else I have to trade. Thanks for looking!!!

CLOSED: Wanted: Tropicals
Janet I think I have the Raspberry Curcuma because it is blooming now and that's what Liz said it was. Come by the house when you get a chance
Janet, I have Costus Barbatus. I'll take it to Donna's next time I go (might be a month or two). Maybe you can pick it up from her.

Janet, I can send you Calidora, Calidora, Calidora and maybe some Calidora. LOL Ely set me up in the spring. :)
Oh, yay!!
You all have made my day!!!!
Janet
Janet...is this what you mean by 'Blood Banana'?
If so, I have an extra available....in a 6" pot about 18" high) can take a photo if you like.
I would be interested in a Colocasia Antiquorum Illustrus....even a small one would suffice.
Hi Nan,
Yes, I do believe that is it!!!
Also, called rojo banana, has red on the undersides of the leaves also.
Sending you a dmail!!
Janet
janet i have dwarf variegated banana that looks like the blood banana but don't have a clue what the name is. also. have 2 new trop. hibiscus if you are interested. barb i would like curcuma emperor variegata.
If the backs of the leaves are pale green, you might have Dwarf Cavendish.
Badseed is right the green underside is dwarf cavendish, and I have that one already.
I haven't traded much lately, and I sure have missed it!!!
Thanks everyone for helping me replace my tropicals!!
Janet
Hi Janet,
I send send cordata for the emperor.
Jan...
Hi Jan,
The emperor is yours for the cordata.
Thank you for responding!!!
Janet
I think I have extra Hilo Beauty.
Yippee!!!!
Oh, Yay!!!
I know you have a lot of the same plants I do rylaff, but maybe I do have something you are looking for?? Hopefully.....
This one I have really had a hard time finding this year.
Janet
I have Lime Zinger that I can send.
Hi austintx78757,
What would you like to trade for the lime zinger????
Send you a dmail.
Thanks!!
Janet
Janet, I told Donna you were planning a trip over here. If possible, I think she wants to come with you.
I'm in the process of digging WHOLE LOT of gingers out of my bed. Some of them have multiplied so much that they have crowded the others out. I hate to dig them up because they are so beautiful, but I've got to do it.
Please come as soon as you can. I've just laid them in the bed in stacks so they will be in the shade for the most part. The top ones might be dried out (and I really don't think that hurts them much), but those in the middle and bottom of the stack should be fairly fresh.
We are having out of town company next week, but any time after that will be wonderful!
Oh my gosh Janet!!! I'm so sorry!!! I fully intended to send you a box this spring/summer and I guess life just got in the way. *blush*
I've still got your addy and promise I won't forget ya this time!!! ;)
Hi Jody,
It was just so nice of you to offer.
It really meant a lot to me just to have you want to make it better by listening, and offering to help replace some things. :)
Janet
Whoopsie! Guess who has not mailed your box yet?? I'll get the plants packed up as soon as I get my buns out of this chair and mail them in the am. Is there anything else you want besides what is on the list above?
Mailed your box. :) Might contain a surprise. LOL
Michelle,
You are something else~!!!!
Thanks everyone for all the great trades.
I updated the list again, if anyone has what I am still looking for. :o)
Thanks for looking.
Janet
LOL It's YOUR fault I like you. LOL
Ditto, Badseed!!
The Blood Banana with red on the underside of the leaf is a musa acuminata, commonly called Zebrina. Check it out:

You all are the best!!!
Thanks again!!
Janet
