CLOSED: HAVE: Mexican Flame aka Orange Glow Vine (senecio confusus)

I have five trades (each trade is two small rooted cuttings) of Mexican Flame Vine aka Orange Glow Vine (senecio confusus). Each cutting is growing in a 2" biodegradable starter pot.

Hummingbirds and butterflies love it!!!

Am looking for these larval host plants for butterflies:

Screwbean Mesquite (prosopus reptans)
Dicliptera (dicliptera vahliana)
Heliotrope (heliotrope spp)
Blue Porter Weed (cymburus urticifolius)

If you don't have rooted cuttings or plants to trade I am also interested in the following seeds:
Snout Bean (rhynchosia minima)
Milkpea (galactia spp)
Vetch (astragulus spp)
Nasturium (tropaeolum majus)

Just remember...I will be sending out the rooted cuttings via USPS Priority mail so if you're trading seeds then the amount should be comparable. Will leave the amount to your discretion :o)

If you don't have any of what I've listed above to trade. Send me D-mail anyway and perhaps we can work something out - keep in mind I am looking for bulk seed trades of good nectar flowers or larval hosts for these rooted cuttings. I will also be making more cuttings in the coming weeks.

Here's a photo of Queens & Soldiers enjoying nectar.

Cat, this is indeed a 'MUST HAVE' for bf's and hummers - I winter my plant over in the basement, It gets quite lanky, but recovers nicely in May. I will check your wants list and see if I have any more seeds to send you.

I would love to have one...have been wanting to get to know you as I am 18 miles nw of CC. Just moved to the country and starting many new things....I have Nasturiums 'Empress of India', 'Spitfire' and 'Alaska'.....have several mexican sunflowers which I am assuming are Tithonias....I am working on lots of cuttings right now....trying to feed the hummers and the butterflies but I am starting most of these from seed.
I am starting cuttings from the big orange trumpet vine...hummers love them...do you have? or want?

What else rooted nectar plant do you have TPP?? I have Blue/Purple Porterweed mature plant that I cut back to bring in for winter. This one gets tall not sure if it is blue or purple. I just know one is short and one is tall. They look the same to me. I have the Mex flame vine already
