3rd Annual DGRU Trade lists for May 19th, 2007

Exactly right Dr. Don........ that is what it is. A very cool looking plant!

Well shoot, I wonder if I can get back to Regans before I have to go. Well shoot again. I am seeing Lali tomorrow and she could have brought it to Zuzu's house and she could have brought it to you. LOL. I will have to figure this out.

Too bad I didn't see this before now. This new way all the threads are saved on your home page now if you have posted on them, tends too overwhelm me. I come onto Dave's and I see so many threads there just waiting for me, that I often do not even look at any of them. Same thing with mail, if there are too many, I do not read them. LOL I am getting so old.

Is this the same thing?
If it is, it has your name on it DrDon

It reminds me of a parrot's nose

'spin,
I would like a rhizomeof the iris japonica, please. Better send you a d-mail in case you don't check the thread.
Sherry

DrDon --

What happened to the BIG S.lutea Blooms and I brought you last year?? In the blue beer-I-mean-wash tub?

Looks like you are getting a couple more this year.

Thanks for getting me back to this thread, Sherry -- I'd have been checking it when I get to digging the Leonotis et al -- hey, my idea of putting those L.menthifolia in good soft soil for 1-2 months before canning them up worked out GREAT, a couple of them have even put on a flower-whorl and they all look much happier! You're down for a wedge of Ledger's Iris!

~'spin!~

Anyone want any:

lemon balm
sweet marjoram
Italian Sage

Let me know.

kanita

Kanita:
I would take some Marjoram -- my herb bed is looking pretty dismal after a winter of neglect and the winds last week! What can I bring you? (My list is up higher here... April 8, 11am)

Dovey and Zuzu -- y'all bring DrDon your S.lutea-africans if you have it -- he has enough property for them all; even if mine from last year made it, it looks/looked slightly different than either of your pics... Right, DrDon? He'll probably write a monograph on the variations in the species!

PS, to those that asked, there will be no Lemon Monarda from Blooms this year... maybe she can put baggies over the spent flowers and get us some seeds, though!

~'spin!~ going to edit the 4/8 list now!

You got it Spin.

Lovesopera (my neighbor who hasn't hooked up her pc yet) says she's bringing solandra maxima / Copa de Oro. Anyone want to claim one now?
Sherry

Should any brave souls want any of that great thug Blue Dawn flower /Perennial morning glory, and have 7-10 acres for it to romp across, I have someof that also. Don't all yell at once.......
Sherry

If anyone has plumeria to share let me know. Not you Donna you've given me enough.

But I like to give you plants. :-)))))))

I have a few Zauschneria 'Uvas Canyon' - aka epilobium - aka Hummingbird Fuchsia - if anyone wants to try one. They are pretty weak but still hanging in there. It has very nice soft silver green foliage, blooms like crazy in the fall. Cut back when it gets straggly and it comes back very thick in spring. These little guys were rooted in the ground and I potted them up, so they should recover soon. This is not the narrow leaf variety.

Kathleen

I have a few small lavendar plants if anyone is interested -- a few Munstead, Hidecote and French - about 3 each. Wish I had more, but I'm still new to all this. :)

I'd love either the Munstead or Hidecote - I'm finding lavenders do well for me here and I'd like to have different varieties. Thanks for the offer, TLeaves. Join the club, I'm also new to propagating.

Digging out clivia and Dietes iridioides later today. HaroldS has his name on some clivia, but I thought I would see if anyone else wants some.

Bringing a box of Tropicana canna roots, and a few other started plants. Also a box of pots if anyone needs some. My wife has "suggested" I get rid of a few. Also some nice pink grapefruit to share. Harold

Okay Harold, Make me jealous.. lol.. I'm missing my cannas about now (ps Thanks for the seeds)..

Hope you all have a great time and a great swap. I'm moved in and trying to get a rockwall going, regrettably I cannot make it again this year ... Thank you Don for the invite and will be thinking of all of you tomorrow.

Here is my soon to be semi-courtyard in the making..


A.

I'm not even going to attempt to read all the plants in this thread and try and discern which ones are spoken for, so this is what i'm bringing if anyone wants to stake a claim! :D

Maranta sp. 'Variegata' - lots
Pinellia tripartita - seedlings & some pseudotubers
Juncus effusus - root cuttings
Passiflora caerulea v. "Constance Elliott" - 2 rooted cuttings
Billbergia nutans - a few bulbs
Graptopetalum paraguayense - a few plants
Canna "Australia" - a few tubers
Kalanchoe beharensis - 10 callused leaves

Seeds:
Cardiospermum halicacabum - lots
Pandorea jasminoides v. "Rosea" - lots
Aristolochia fimbriata - lots

If possible i would like to reserve the passifloras for trade for other passifloras, the rest is fair game.

Scott

oh and huernia schniederiana - lots

scott

I want some huernia for my new home.... Hope it grow there...

Is anyone interested in night blooming jessamin? Speak now or I'll never pick up a shovel again! Please take these babies off my hands. I have 3 huge ones that keep reproducing and anyone is welcome to them.

OK, I am in from my potting-up chores. If you are mentioned in Post #3368783, yours is labelled in gallon pot(s).

I will have additional to the "claimed" ones: NINE Leonotis menthifolia in sizes from 3" to gallon. Three Lychnis coronaria that will bloom next spring and give you lots of seeds at that time (until then will just look like tired lambs'ears) (one of these is in the same gallon pot with a L.menthifolia previously counted). Seven "heels" (rhizomes) of Iris japonica 'Ledger's Variety', dirty but NOT in dirt -- these were dislodged when splitting out Sherry's pot's worth, I put them in a ziploc with moist paper towel... more water than they've seen since it rained.

Are there really no new California/western gardeners coming? Still have those previous editions of Sunset Garden book going begging (or going to Freecycle), so speak up!

~'spin!~

'spin,

Would love a couple of the Iris heels for our pond!

Kathleen

K: You got 'em! Now, this cultivar has been pretty happy in the dry-dry ness, but perhaps will love it even more with moisture. Give it a shot!

~'s!~

me too spin!

Thanks, 'spin!

OK, the shady side of the house had extended to the iris bed so I cut out two more with-dirt hunks for you two (kaperc and weegy). made some room for those walking type I'm bringing home from Sherry. Got a bunch more heels, too, if you'd really rather Kathleen (what with putting in pond?) -- look for us arriving about 11 to nab rhizomes instead of the pot with your name on it, if that is your choice. I will be wearing a lavender hat!

~'s!~

Okay,I have the trailer loaded to haul over tomorrow a.m.....too much to do....I need another grande mocha frappuccino!

'spin: My hat will be straw colored! DH John loves iris and has this big ol' pond we're trying to fill in/around with different plants. Not too many CA native riparians that will take our sun/wind. We have some boggy area and the bank behind the pond; already have some LA irises in the water. Anything that will work in/around those areas will have a home with us. When I looked up Iris japonica 'Ledger's Variety' it said water. Don't want to be greedy...

Sherry: Are the epi's spoken for? If not, I would like one.

Kathleen

Kathleen, I'll go cut right now.
Sherry

Sherry,
Thanks, neighbor!
