CLOSED: CGs LMW Seed Swap 2006_2 listings

One thing about the difference between the Latin and common names for plants is that there can be only one Latin name per plant. But common names can refer to all kinds of plants.

For example, look at all the different plants that DG's PlantFiles says can be hibiscus: http://davesgarden.com/pf/adv_search.php?searcher%5Bcommon%5D=hibiscus&searcher%5Bfamily%5D=&searcher%5Bgenus%5D=&searcher%5Bspecies%5D=&searcher%5Bcultivar%5D=&searcher%5Bhybridizer%5D=&search_prefs%5Bsort_by%5D=rating&images_prefs=both&Search=Search The ideal solution here would be for #12. dorothy 2006 to click on that link and tell us which one most closely resembles the one from which she collected seed. Without further input from her, we cannot match up a Latin and/or a cultivar name with the common name she gave us.

So here's what I'm doing to help Connie. I'll match Latin, common and cultivar names where I can and also, I'll put the DG PlantFile hyperlink beside the plants where possible so that Connie can look at those.

If there's a different way you'd like for me to do this that would be more useful to you, let me know.

Connie, I'll dmail you tonight whatever I get done when I quit for the evening.

How ever is easiest for you :o) Will be fine with me...
FrauSnow dmailed me and said she is going to edit her list to the seeds she is going to send... So skip hers...

dorothy2006 is not a subscriber, you can skip hers and I already have roose's seeds so skip that one too....

got the real name for the devils claw and that has been taken care of :o)

Okay, I am working with what I have so far, and matching what I can...

Blue your a doll Thanks,

Connie

Hey there! Been watching my alma mater, University of Montana, roll on in the Division I-AA playoffs. OK, bluespiral, I'm working now. Do we post or email them to Connie? (And believe it or not, I know the Latin names of 90% of these lists off the top of my head. Couldn't tell you my birthday half the time but could rattle off half-a-dozen names of bamboo types ....)

LOL summerkid, I am glad someone knows them :o)

Dmail the lists and I will get cracking on them as soon as I can...

Both of you BIG ((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))))

and don't be surprised if Santa sneaks something to you :o)

Connie

Well POO, I reached my limit of edits. grrrr

Oh speaking of edits

didn't know if you knew it or not, but when you do an several edits on one post, you can scroll down and remove any of the other extra - (This message was edited Dec 1, 2006 10:31 AM) off your posts... to keep it short..

Well I really hate to do this, but I have got a spliting headache, so I am going to take a couple (bottles lol) of advil and go to bed.... jk, will only take one bottle, honest injuns :o)

I hope you all have a great night and day tomorrow.

Niterz, Connie

I had started a list to post here of ambiguous common names with PlantFiles links that the person who listed them could click on and then tell us which kind resembled what he/she had. never mind.

will start again in am with Becky. Connie, I noted your changes. Summerkid, you're probably going to be finished before I figure out what I'm doing - LOL How about we dmail our work to Connie and do our kibitzing via dmail? At my level of Mrs. Magoo-hood right now, we could really clog up this thread.

g'night

Ok here is what I am sending that is on someone's wants list:

1.Nicotiana Sylvestris
2. Gourds
3. Catalpa Tree
4. Tropical vines (that was the way listed on the wants list)
5. Birdhouse Gourd
6. Basil
7. Caesalpinia Pulcherrima (Mexican Bird of Paradise)
8. Red Yucca
9. Marigolds (small gem and others)
10. Spanish Flag (mina lobata)
11. Asclepias (I have a few kinds I will re-review the lists to see which to send)
12. Columbine
13. Daylilies (mixed and also named cross)

and some extras

Hope I did this correctly!

Eupatorium 'Chocolate' !!!! Yay yay yay ....

I went back and edited my "haves" to include the latin names! I don't know why I neglected to do that! Sorry about that!

here is what i have for the wants

amaranthus viridis gren tails
cosmos sensaton picotee
amaranthus caudatus red
ornamental corn painted moutain
cosmos seashells
salvia blue bedder
blackberry lily
toadlily
hardy begonia pink
comos yellow
marigold pom pom white
cleome manshallii
chartreuse flowering tobacco
morning glory tye dye blue
morning glory star of yelta

Boy, those DG PlantFiles really rock! If you click on the PlantFiles tab, and then click on the button that says "Click here to search for plants", it's amazing how much information you can get with just a teensy little bit of input. DG folks have really put together a very comprehensive encyclopedia. Those of you who haven't tried it - give it a whirl. Thank you, Dave.

(PS - www.wikipedia.com makes a nice complement to DG PlantFiles)

For the "wants" I have the following:

Love in a puff
Dahlia Bishop's Children
Tall Zinnia's mixed
Zinnia-Envy
-Desert Sun

Love Lies Bleeding-Pony Tails red and green mix
Linaria-Flaming Passion
-Fairy Bouquet mix
Annual Phlox-Peppermint Candy
-Creme Brulee
-Watercolor Memories
Cosmos-Candy Stripe
-Bright Lights (enough for 3)
-bipinnatus-pink with a crimson center zone
-Cosmic Yellow (changed--thought I had orange)
That's 15 but I surprisingly found after going through all my seeds and the wishlist that I could list 30 or so items that I had so I'll throw in some other stuff. I've only got a small area to garden in so I just need enough to start my WS. I haven't even started buying seeds from the new catalogs I've started getting:LOL:

Susan51 - if you want you can go a head and mail yours to me.

Everybody,
I dmailed Susan (9kittymom) and she replied back to me

Connie, I'll be glad to send some extras so you can send her some seeds anyway. Maybe that will cheer her up a little bit.

Connie, I've included a bunch of extras too--so please pass them on to Susan. I had to put down my 12 year old boy Oreo in July so I can understand how she feels. Maybe the surprise package will lift her spirits a bit:)

connie, i don't see her want list. what was she wanting?

We should send everything on her want list if possible.

Barb, her want list would be on the first thread. I took it off this one so I wouldn't get confused, but left it on the other one... The link to the other thread Barb is on the first post above :o)

You guys, you know they say great minds think a like ;o)
Just put 9kittymom on all the seed packs you are sending her, and I will mail them out to her with a card in the envie for her from our swap... If you want to send a little note along, I will enclose it with the seeds...

I am off to lala land, you all have a great night.

Connie

I feel so sad for Susan (9kittymom). I have cats too and have lost a few over the years. I get very close to mine too and mourn their loss as much as any other family member.



I found her wish list on the other post.

I copied it and pasted it here...

Corkscrew vine (vigna caracalla)
Chocolate cosmos
Black-eyed Susan vine (Thunbergia)
- alba(white)
- Spanish Eyes
- Sun lady
- blushing susie
- Blue glory
Spanish flag (mina lobata)
Japanese Morning Glories (unusual ones)
Sunflowers (unusual ones, i.e. black, red, fuzzy, etc)
Butterfly weed (ascelpias) Gay butterflies, this is red, orange and yellow in one.

I have a question. Can I go ahead and mail in the seeds I have to share now or are we waiting for a "cue".

Also, in the original instructions for the envelope it said

"Be sure to write on the out side of your envelope CGs LMW Seed Swap. and your user name and number in the lower left hand corner"

I know my user name but what's my user #?

Sue G.

Hi Sue, you number is next to your name # 23. CheerMom - Sue :0)
If you look at the beginning of the second post where I have everyones lists, you will see I have all members listed first with a number next to their name :o)

I am still waiting for these to list there wants fullfilled
14. dhemmer – Diana - (hope she gets her power back soon)
21. ZZTOPSOIL – Lelan - (haven't heard a word from)

Sue as long as you don't have extra seeds to offer after I have posted my list of wants fullfilled, I don't have a problem with you sending your seeds now... Or anyone else that wants to send theirs now...

Connie

i am so glad you cleared that up for me cheer mom. i didn't know either what my "number" was.

Sorry you all, I just figured you would see the numbers next to your names and know... Thats what I get for thinking rofl... I have always been told, that was a dangerous thing lol...

Connie

no problem connie. communication is an art and most of us have lost it. now that computers are bringing back the written word we will all get better out of necessity i am sure. lol.

Hi Aline, received your envelope today, and ewwww that claw is ugly rofl... If it is all the same to you, I am not going to forward it... Just the seeds :o) Makes the envie to bulky and weighty :o)
I took a couple pictures of it, so you all can see what a Devil's Claw pod looks like... UGLY

Actually, I do have extras to include in the envelope - should I list what those are now?

No hold off until you see what I have listed, We are still waiting on two other ppl to list theirs b4 I will list mine...

Then by all means you will get the go ahead :o)

Hope they list soon, haven't heard a word from Lelan, I did dmail, but still no reply.

Connie

I'm going to send mine along in the next few days. I don't have anything else to add so it won't matter what anyone wants. Sorry! If anyone needs more of anything, I have most. Have Cleome white and purple in abundant quantities. The seeds are just so easy and fun to harvest!

WOW that is wild looking and would be great in crafts too!!!!!!!!!
cool thxs for the pics
moretz

Hello,
Mine were mailed to you today... I sent priority to you also everthing I believe is in the padded holder for you... At least I hope it is...LOL
Hugs,
Susan

I can't believe you got my package already, Connie. I sent that out Saterday afternoon.
I got the devils claw in a trade last year and wondered where it got it's name then when I saw the seed pods I knew why. It is a very smelly plant, about 30" high and 36" across. Flowers remind me of an orchid.
Daturas have a cool seed pod too.
I wondered about the number thing, even went to my "page" and looked for a number, then saw the list.
Aline

moretz, I can just see the crafts now rofl... it is really hard to (about like a lobster tail hard), so putting a clear coat on it would probably keep it. I am sending you a dmail :o)

Yes Aline, I couldn't believe it got here that quick...

Okay Basket_Case and Susan51, Will keep an eye out for them to arrive..

We just got back from our christmas dinner and I am stuffed lol... The person who was suppose to come, had to turn around and go home, he got a bout half way here... His oldest son's wife just found out she has cancer. So I ask all you praying ppl to join in with me and pray for the Perkins Family... They are still doing test to see if it is treatable... I can't remember the name of the cancer, but if it is in the first stages, then it can be curable...
