If anyone has a couple of nymphaeas, I'd be grateful. I only have a small water tub, so wouldn't need much.
Still looking for Lysimachia nummularia-golden creeping jeeny
Saxifragas, any
or any other unusual groundcovers
I have lots I could trade, and can't list them all. If you don't see anything of interest, let me know and I'll see what we can do. But to start I have:
For ponds/bog/water gardens: Juncus, Colocasia Green Runner, Salvia Uglinosa
Colocasia 'Black Stem' pups
Tons of Salvia guarantica 'Black and Blue', and tons of four o'clocks -straight mirabilis
various sedums
various cannas
Golden tiara hosta
Tricyrtis 'Blue Wonder'
'Husker's Red' Penstamon & unid blueish-pink penstamon
'Purple Palace' heucheras
Oxalis regnellii "Francis"
Dicentra 'Spectabilis'-would probably not look great this time of year but fine in spring
Pink Chelone
unid peachy glads
Wanted: Hardy Nymphaeas (waterlilies), groundcovers :)
Forgot to mention I also have available:
Hippeastrum x johnsonii
Hippeastrum 'Voodoo'
Callas: Zantedeschia Aethiopica 'White Giant'
'Anneke'
In addition to the ground covers, I have Water lily (alba).
Should I include some in the package?
I have some Lysimachia nummularia-golden creeping jenny.
Do you want any:
sedum acre, spuria or kamtschaticum?
Campanula punctata?
Saliva lyrata 'purple knockout'
Perhaps I could trade for some Tricyrtis 'Blue Wonder' and Hippeastrum x johnsonii?

I have just dug 2 huge roots of the hardy water lily "Gladstone" offered by lilypons.com..these dug ones are 3 times the size that you would get if ordered, expensive to ship and at the very least a value of $50. I am looking to trade for one or many modern named bearded iris of equal values
Rox, thanks so much for the response. I would love the nymphaea alba. I'd also like:
I have some Lysimachia nummularia-golden creeping jenny.
sedum acre,&spuria
Campanula punctata
I have 2 hippeastrum x johnsoniis and quite a bit of blue wonder--hopefully they would ship well thiis time of year, I may need to get water crystals. I can pay shipping for the box nonetheless, and thank you so much again!
jackieshar, I am sorry, I really don't have any iris, but thanks anyway
Don't buy water crystals. I'll send some (unhydrated) in the package I send.

Now this is what you call a cooperative trader, folks--love it! Thank you so much and let me know your paypal addy so I can send your shipping. I'm in the address exchange.
Also, I was thinking today of digging some of the black runner pups and putting them in my little water tub to see if that would help them grow faster. I'll keep you updated, but my regular Black Magic and Black Runner are so small this year....all the others are fine.
OK if you send the hippeastrum x johnsoniis and blue wonder plants (in exchange for mine) instead of postage?
ROX
If you are okay w/ me covering shipping and sending the plants, I'd feel better, because it won't be a big box or anything and your box will very likely weigh more. Does that make sense?
Nah. That's not necessary.
Unless you really feel uncomfortable, I suggest that we trade now and if you get a black runner at some point you can send it on.
ROX
Sounds good Rox, it will probably be this weekend before I get it packed up, if I can do it sooner I'll let you know. I did put a couple of runners in the tub garden and hopefully that helps ;)
You should wait until I send the crystals.
I'll try to send the plants out Wed. I'll Dmail you.
ROX
Sounds good, Rox, I get all hyper...lol
Well, still looking for more ground cover and lots of plants to trade still. I could probably trade for these the whole growing season and never have enough...lots of erosion issues....
Do you want to try some Euphorbia cyparissias?
Warning...it spreads but it is lovely!
ROX
Sure rox, but I don't want to totally strip your garden down, wish I could think of something else that would go well in your zone---hydrangeas?
I have a 0.5 acre of garden. Some of it is getting a little out of hand and needs to be thinned.
ROX
I have Saxifraga Stolonifera.
Dawn
Oh yeah! Thanks Dawn, I can't seem to find these anywhere around here, what were you interested in? Will check to see if you have a wants list....
I have a picture of the saxifraga but it's at home. I can send you a pic tonight if you want. I'm still checing out your list.
sending you mail, easier for me to organize that way :)
