CLOSED: Getting rid of my cannas

Melbourne Beach, FL(Zone 10a)

I've decided to dig up all my cannas to make room for other things. I have many of them. They are an heirloom variety -- Florence Vaughan and are orange and yellow (pic below). There are many things on my wish list but a few are below. Otherwise suggestions are welcome although they should be things that I can grow in FL zone 10a.

interesting palm seeds or small rooted palm
other small rooted tree or something I can root (can you tell I'm looking for shade??)
gingers
cacti & succulents -- I have many but can't have too many!
interesting aroids

Vicki, Do you have any interest in elephant ears?

Yes I am although I have a few. What do you have?

I have Illustris, Black Ruffles, Royal Hilo, Cucullata, Calidora, Red Stem and Xan robusta for sure. I'd have to check to see what else.

Vicky, thank you very much for the huge box stuffed with canna. You really send a mean box-like ten trades worth!! LOL I am really sorry I forgot to mail out your shipping money. It's been a crazy week. I did send you a dmail but also wanted to post here since I know you might not see it right away. Thanks a bunch!

I'd love as big a box of that lovely Canna as you might like to send. Could I pay for your postage, and send you some Calandrinia spectabilis for trade?

Amy,
I have a bunch more so I can send you some but I won't be home until Thanksgiving. I'm in southern California working at the moment but will be home for the long weekend then. Postage is fine since I'll be going back and forth for some months and my gardening time will be limited. If you're not in the address exchange I'll need your addy -- if you are, all is good. I'll send them out when I get home.

It was wonderful to wake up my first morning here and see mountains in the distance -- I miss those in Florida!!

Michele,
I sent you a dmail today but I don't see it in my dmail. I wonder if it got lost in cyberland.... I'm so glad you're happy with the cannas! No hurry on the check since I'm gone anyway. I'll see it your dmail shows up and if not I'll resend!

To everyone to whom I owe cannas.... I'm sorry things got messed up over Christmas and I didn't get the cannas out. I ended up with my mom in the hospital. That along with the mail schedule and New Year's coming so soon after Christmas and the PO being closed for Jerry Ford, I couldn't get them dug up and mailed. I also didn't want them to sit in a truck somewhere cold over the various days the PO was closed.

I'm really sorry!! I will send them as soon as the PO opens which I think is Wednesday. I think they're closed tomorrow for the funeral for Pres Ford.

These are the folks I have on my list from before -- no one new please! If I missed anyone from earlier, please let me know.

vicky :

By all means please take your time.
Your family comes first and I know first hand how busy the holidays can get. ( I've been going bananas. LOL haven't got a thing done in the garden)


If you do if you don't ( get them out ) I will surely understand.


Thanks much for even remembering.

P.S
Hope your mom is ok.
