It's time to move the tropicals back in the house or get rid of them and I'd like to get rid of some of them, if anyone is interested. I have these to TRADE (none for postage).
2 sm Ponytail Palms. Caudex or bulb is about one inch on each one.
Peacock Ginger (small rhizomatic division with a leaf or two)
Anredera - Madeira Vine - several tubers
Coleus Cuttings - from Kiwi Fern (http://davesgarden.com/pf/showimage/88887/)
from Tilt a Whirl (http://davesgarden.com/pf/showimage/120837/)
from a rose and burgundy colored one
Perilla Magilla Cuttings (http://davesgarden.com/pf/showimage/27193/)
Father in Law Tongue (dwarf Sanseveria)
PLANTS HARDY IN ZONE 7:
Musa Basjoo - Basjoo banana pup
Elephant Ear - Wentii - small pup (http://davesgarden.com/pf/showimage/88774/)
Elephant Ear - Black Magic pup
Elephant Ear - Illustris (Imperial Taro) pup (got a little frost damage on the foliage, but otherwise fine)
Canna (rhizomes. The foliage will be trimmed off for shipping, each rhizome will have two or more eyes)
Tropical Sunrise
Robert Kemp
Red Wine
Coral colored tiki torch blooms (Like Robert Kemp but Coral instead of Red)
Richard Wallace
Omega
Clerodendron Bungeii - small rooted plant
Variegated Yucca - maybe Color Guard (green and yellow foliage)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What I would like to trade for is listed below. I need good healthy rooted plants, nothing that has to be babied. No cuttings, plugs, or seedlings please. They'll just die on me.
Unusual hardy grasses. Would love pink pampas grass especially, black mondo, and any other uncommon grasses
Unusual elephant ears, like Black Velvet, Nancy's Revenge, Xanthasoma Variegata, Mickey Mouse, etc.
Windmill Palm
Japanese Irises - named please
Louisiana Irises - named please
Variegated Costus - spiral ginger (really want this!!)
Hardy Hedychiums (I have the white and peach. Would like something else, especially pink)
Turn of the Century hibiscus (pink and white variegated bloom)
I would consider other unusual perennials as well as succulents. I love unusual sanseverias, sempervirens and euphorbias. But I don't like thorns. I know some of the euphorbias have thorns but they're not too hard to handle like some cacti are. I will take nice sized cuttings of succulents as I know how easy they are to root.
Anyone wanna trade? I also have a list of DVDs and Garden Books to trade in a previous post. So be sure to check it too to see if you need anything there.

CLOSED: Have Tropicals to Trade for Grass, EEs, Gingers, Perennials
NancyAnn, I so would love the EE's - I can get you TX Star Hibiscus (I'll have to go to Mom's to see how many babies have come up). I have a Coral Bean plant left, some mexican bush sage, and I'll have to see what else I can come up with - you know my garden pretty well I think and I don't have a ton of established stuff yet - oh yeah - I have some astilbe I saved from death from Lowe's also.

You have d-mail.
You have d-mail.
The Adeniums and Foxtail Ferns are all spoken for. And I think I've responded to everyone who had dmailed me. The other plants are still available. Thanks for the offers!

Anyone else interested? Some of these plants will be dumped on Freecycle if no one wants to trade for them. I will not be able to fit all these plants in my house for the winter. So here's your last chance.
I appreciate all of you who are trading with me. Your packages are shipping out today. Thanks for the trades!
NancyAnn
I don't have anything on your wanted list, but if you are just going to dump some elephant ears I would love some and will pay postage.
The only things I have are small white daffodils or blackberry lilies
I'm sorry, I don't mail plants for postage. It's just too time consuming when I'm not getting anything in return. Sorry!
We're expecting a frost in a few days. So some of these plants could be injured. I'd like to trade them before they're damaged by frost. A few I'm carrying in and once I carry them in, I won't trade them anymore until next year. So if you see something you like and have something unusual to trade, holler at me. Time is running out!
I've edited my post above to show what's left to trade. I'll leave this open for a few more days in case someone wants to do one last trade. If I don't trade some of the tropicals, they'll just stay in the ground where they are and freeze during winter. I just can't bring much more inside for the winter.
Thanks for all the trades you've guys have arranged with me this year. I've gotten some really interesting plants. Some of you introduced me to knew plants I might never have known, and I really appreciate that.
Thanks everyone!
NancyAnn
