MARYLEE any Hosta will do well with ninty days of low temps. I dont have either of those Hostas ... Aphrodite is on my want list. Which Hosta did I give you last year?

I would like Indigo Spires, Obediant plant and Mealy Cup sage if you have any.
Also I will have a lot of Sedum ... all kinds. I dont have anyplace to put stuff anymore.
Texas Statewide Roundup April 28, 2007-TRADES
Sylvia, I can't remember which one you gave me, but I have Invinceable, Royal Standard, Golden Tiara, and green and white unnamed and a solid green unnamed. I found a place last night that has Aphrodite, I think. It's not expensive.
City_Sylvia, I've got you down for a mother of thousands!
Sylvia, I have you down for 'Indigo Spires,' obedient plant, mealy cup sage, and the liatris I was already bringing you. I'd love to have some of your sedums too. I have a huge front island bed that needs more drought tolerant plants.
Sylvia, you gave me 'Striptease' last fall, and it is gorgeous. Any hosta you choose for me will be great. (I have not had a chance to update my list and remove the ones I lost last summer.)
Sylvia, can I get some of your sedums?
I'll be bringing some sedum also if anybody wants some.
Clayton, one of my cactus orchids has never bloomed and I was wondering if you might know how to make it bloom? I think it maybe the species form. It gets exactly the treatment the other one gets, which is pretty much benign neglect.

of course Clayton... I have tons Stonecrop. I igot some of that new "Blackjack" series too. I got two big bowls of sedums that wander .. grat for Rock gardens. will see if I still have the names so I can list.
Mary Lee, I just started getting into the orchid cactus. Therefor I am still learning about these plants. I am sure someone on the orchid cactus forum may know what to do. I just got my first cutting around in October. I haven't had any of them to bloom yet.
Sylvia, that would be great. I have a rocky hill in my back yard that I am trying to find something to cover it up with. It is just a lot of limestone with a thin layer of soil.
Clayton
Due to another committment I will probably not be able to make it until after 1pm or so.How long will everyone be there? nancy
I bet we will still be there at 1pm. last spring I think we were there until 3 or 4.
:) Kim
Come on out, Teacup! Some of us stay til time for the cows to come home! Like, how long can you talk plants? Forever!!!!!! :~)
Smockette, Could I get some Zephyranthes grandiflora and polygonum?
Thanks Dave... I cant wait to see that ... it look like something I have seen in Florida.
Mary Lee and Trishann.....unfortunately I only have one gaura 'Cherry Brandy' and even that is not in the greatest shape although it does have some new growth on it. The other division I took just rotted. And my plant is just now starting to bounce back after dividing it a month ago, so I don't really want to try dividing it again this spring. Would one of you be willing to wait until fall for this?
Thanks, Kim
Not a problem, Kim. The one I have came back just fine and I think I'll be swamped with stuff to plant anyway.:) The lilies I order from the coop just came today. I'm just a little excited.
Sounds great...thanks! I'm excited too....I've got spots picked out for the stuff I'm getting!
:) Kim
... this some of the trailing Sedum I was talking about ... and this is the first time I saw it blooming. :) its two or three things in there I think some of it is something Smockette gave me. I will take a better look tommorrow ... I was on my way to the movies.
Check out the Blackjack series.
For those who want Brazilian Plume, Spicy Jatropha, or Russian Sage, you need to know I just started them. The Braz. Plume and Spicy Jatropha look pretty good, but they are not growing yet. The Russian Sage looks very tired still. Hope it looks better on the 28th.
Please ... can anyone tell me what this is? ... and the little tree too.
The tree looks like a pecan to me.
Sylvia,the plants in the pots are Purple Fall Aster, Symphyotrycum oblongifolius.
The tree I am not sure.
Josephine.
I haven't expanded the range of my inventory much this year, but if anyone still needs magenta spreen lambsquarter or multiplying green onions, I can provide.
Bob
Bob - I'm so glad you'll be there!!!!
Bob, the onions you gave me last year sure are thriving this spring!!
So Bob... you are going to dignify us with your presence this year. It will be great to see you.
Hmmmm. Are you bringing the same goodies?:) They were good. How have you been?
Hey, Throne! & Sylvia talks about my disappearing acts! lol
My onions are doing great! Thanks again!
How is your supply of V? LMK
Sylvia, the tall sedum in the back of your first pix is Mexican sedum, great little plant. Got your dmail about the Mex Flame. Will ck Monday for you.
Dawn, have you down for Pink Buttons & Z Grandiflora.
I also have plenty of Freckle Face or Polka Dot plant, if anyone is interested.

I have an iris that needs dividing. If someone can tell me how to do that i'd be happy to bring some to the round up. It's a very dark purple and stays green year round with very little to no attention at all and blooms twice a year.
Aunt Anne, I'd like some of that iris please. I don't have any that bloom twice a year. Atleast they haven't yet. They are very easy. Just dig down under them and lift them out. When I do this I cut off all but about 4 iches of root and 4 inches of leaves, and cut off all the dead leaves and roots. And since the RU is only a week away you probably don't need to pot them. I took mine in a sack with some dirt to the last RU. Or maybe it was a cardboard box. Happy digging.:)
Please check my Haves list above to be sure I havent' missed anybody.
BTW my brougmansia is coming out now, so if anybody wants cuttings of that let me know. It has solid green leaves and hot pink flowers.

I would love a cutting and if I am not too picky I would prefer not to get a green stem. They all die for me. Brown thumb I guess.
I'll see if I have any with brown stems. Probably not because it's just starting to grow and is very green. Seems like having a green stem would be an advantage. We'll see.:)
I have some volunteer shrimp plants coming up in my side yard that apparently migrated over from my neighbor's side. Would anyone like them?
IF I get my ferns from the fern coop this week, I will have some extras, but it doesn't look like they will be here in time. Too bad...
Hello Bob Throneofyord, remember the Iris you gave me last year?
Well it bloomed this Spring, and it is beautiful, thank you very much.
However i don't have a name for it, and i was hoping you could tell me, I really like it, and I am hoping to put it in the plant files, could you please identify it for me?
Josephine.
Marylyn_TX, put me down for a shrimp plant. Mine didn't make it this last freeze.
Thanks
Marilyn may i have 1 or 2 of the shrimp plants?
Anne
Oh, Marilyn. I hope your ferns make it. Did you order any extra cinnamon fern? I didn't discover that coop til it was too late. Do you ever see those in the nurseries down there?
Marylyn, I'd love a shrimp plant too if you have enough.
Thanks, Patricia
I'll put your name on the shrimp plant list, Patricia. :-)
Mary Lee, I haven't seen any cinnamon fern down here, but I haven't really looked either. I did order some from the coop, along with some rosy maidenhair and some Japanese painted. If they come this week I'll get them planted and then I'll let you know what I have extra.
