I still have 2 small Redbuds... 1 is about 18" and the other is about 30".
I have an extra Lime coleus too. When I get to the swap I will have a few extra things, (I won't say yet, hehe), Just flag me down when I get there. First asks, first gets! Be sure to go through all my seeds too. I have quite a few goodies, and nice nectar flowers and host plants. Lots of Aristolochia elegans seeds, and some other varieties of pipevine. I will try to have it organized for you guys by then.

Okay, I will...am I am going to start as many as I can. The rooted one, just took a couple of weeks, if that much..so they should take..
Thanks melva....I misread your post and didn't see there was just one so no worries if it doesn't root.
Melva, if you manage to root extra variegated butterfly bushes, I'd love to have one. Thanks, Patricia
I feel sure that more will be rooted by then...if not, they soon will be,, just give them time..they will be potted.
Mitch, do you still have some dame's rockets? I'd like to trade for a couple if you do.
Thanks, Patricia
DITTO on the var. butterfly bush.
melvatoo, you have no wants listed.
Wants..I am looking for different Salvias and Clematis..and any roses I don't have
and Mitch...I would love some of the regular/plain butterfly bush.
melva..........do you have any of the guaraniticas? or uliginosa? how about a small salvia koyamae?

Okay, I have plain buddleia davidii too. It's not Black Knight--it's a little lighter. The tag just says B. davidii, so it's a noid. But it grows and the hummers and butterflies like it, and so do I. I will be glad to root it if Mitch doesn't have enough.
Several of you are talking about passis. I haven't asked for any because gosh, I'm already getting so much from so many people! And I've never grown them and don't really know much about them. But I think I'd really like to try them. If anyone has a blue one to spare, that would be great.
melvatoo i have you down for the koyamae and uliginosa. and are you saying that you have argentina sky? yes it is a guaranitica.
and i would like the var. butterfly bush if you can get some rooted. i will have to look up your rose but it sounds beautiful. is it a large flowering rose?
http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/pl.php?n=12198
this is my rose..it can get quite large mine is about 6x4 and it is in too much shade, if it had a lot of sun...it can be grown as a climber or a shrub...yes I do have Argentine sky....which one do you have of the guaranticias?
i have black and blue, argentine and one that i bought called sapphire. however, richard dufresne says that sapphire is prob. generic guaranitica. he said sapphire originated from some florida nurseries who prob. just stuck a name on it so that they could sell it better.
I will take as much horse herb as anyone can give. I am trying to get it to take over the area between my back fence and the creek. It is filled mostly with weeds like curly dock, poison ivy, others, and even johnson grass and bermuda from the yard growing sparsely in the semi-shade. I bought a 4 inch of horse herb and 4 inch of frogs fruit in the spring. They're already spreading well, but I'd like to add some more. I will be posting my list sometime next week (if I can figure out where to post). I have been waiting to make sure some cuttings and divisions survived.
Stacey, I have some Frogfuit on my list, which I will save for you and I will also gather up and pot some Horseherb for you.
Josephine.
pat - will try to get you a damesrocket
melva - butterfly bush, got it.
I had an adventure yesterday. I went to check on our house that is in Vidor. Down the street from the house was a yard full of red spider lillies. I started to knock on the door, but they had a beware of the dog and a closed fence. I honked. Just about the time I started to back out of the driveway a deer old lady came hobbling out. I felt bad for disturbing her.
She said she was glad to get out and not to feel bad. Meanwhile I asked if I could have a couple of the red flowers. She insisted that I HELP her thin them out, said it would be a big help to her. Of course I was glad to help. She kept insisting that I get more LOL.
After that I went to Orange to visit a friend in the historic district. I got a little lost and wound up on the wrong side of the tracks. I saw a vacant house that was falling down with a yard with a couple of large elephant ears growing in the driveway. I figured that they would be in the way of someone driving in, so I removed them to HELP out.
My friend wasn't home, but I called her and she said I could get some cuttings from her yellow brug. I did that for sure.
Behind the grocery store were lots of huge almost irredescent purple morning glories. Not a seed one. I struck out. There were some lantana that were small and well rooted, that were easier to get than the ones growing along the ditches here in Buffalo. I got them out of the way for the store as they were clogging the drainage ditch.
What a day what a score!
Boy do I love to help people out! No blocked drive, no clogged ditch and the sweet little lady got her lillies thinned out. LOL
What a good person you are, to help out like that! I wish you lived near me...
PBTxlady, do you still have a joseph's coat rose? I have red spider lilies. LMK
Charlene
Yes, I have Joseph's Coat on my list of roses to bring cuttings from, as well as Tropicana and Blaze. I'll raid my parents' rose garden too, but I can't tell you what all they have out there.
If you have a couple of red spider lilies that would be wonderful!
sweezel, I will try to bring extra on the Horseherb, but if you want you are always welcome to come remove it from my flower beds! :-))
Help! Now what do I do with the spider lilies? I have some with just the bulb and some with just the stem and some with the flower in bloom still on and some about to open. I have washed them all and put them in the house. Do I plant them, do I dry them? What do I do with them?
Part two of Charlene's adventures. Today, I went to Lowes, big mistake for hubby to take me there LOL.
They had some plants marked to 50% off. I picked out a bunch of them that I felt I could salvage.
Then they had these carts piled full of throw away plants. I just can't stand to see that happen. I asked if I could buy the lot of them. They sold me the lot for $10. The dirt, the pots and some of the plants that were salvagable made that a great deal.
Then I spotted the tropical hibiscus lot. I had bought one last week for $6.49 marked down from $12.98. They had 21 left. I asked if I bought them all what could I get them for. I got them all for $3.50 each.
Most of the pots have 2 or three plants in them. Most are in pretty good shape.
Poor hubby had gone to get some cabbage plants, collards and lettuce and some peat moss and mulch. He also bought two very large trees.
Even though we were in our pick-up it was quite a challenge to get it all in there. We bought plastic to wrap the plants and duct tape to hold the plastic in place. Hubby said no way, it would never make it home.
We still had to go to Wal-mart. We live 40 minutes from town, so we like to get it all done in one trip.
We didn't have much to get at Wal-mart and we got it all put inside the truck.
All the way home we watched for the plastic to start to fly away. The duct tape didn't even budge.
Of all the plants and trees only one tiny little branch broke on one hibiscus.
Whipeeeeee!! What a deal pill!!
Charlene, you are having way too much fun! lol I wish I could have joined you!!
Patrob, I need you and a bunch of other people to join me. I have so many plants and so little time. Some of the throw aways are pretty decent. Some are water logged and some are dry as powder. All need to be tended to. Most need to be repotted. Just repotting the hibiscus 21X 2 or 3 will be quite a challenge. All the little plant pots and trays need to be bleached.
Hubby should have bought some potting soil also. We need hired hands or volunteers LOL. Too much fun is right and too much work to go with it.
The spiderlilies that I am bringing to the trade are puzzling me. Do I pot them or dry them?
Dry them - bulbs can all be dried.
I'd pot them or heel them in now. If this the lily we are talking about, http://www.floridata.com/ref/L/lyco_rad.cfm they do best if divided in early summer before they start their bloom/foliage cycle. They need to make foliage to store energy for next year's blooms.

Mitch, I had to wash them because they were covered in fire ants (which bit the daylights out of me when I dug them, but it didn't stop me). The outside skin came off when I washed them. Is that going to cause any problems. I am attatching a photo.
What does heel mean when in reference to bulbs?
Patrob, don't you trust me after my offering of weeds? Yes, that is the one I have LOL.
Charlene, I love the same beautiful 'weed' you do. I was very excited when my first false dayflower bloomed on a pile of sand the builders left. I still have some, and they have not become invasive.
'Heel in' means to spread the plants out slightly, perhaps a bit sideways, and cover the roots with soil. It's a temporary planting just to keep the roots moist. The plants don't have enough room for long term growth, but enough to get them by for a short time.
Mine here will not start to grow leaves for a few weeks... but maybe others do. Mini pots might be best if that is the case.
I think I will just go ahead and pot them up. I will be bringing some to the swap in case someone would like some.
The hibiscus's that I got will be a surprise when they bloom. Only one had a flower in bloom and the pot was marked: Peach hibiscus.
I will post a photo of the "peach" hibiscus.
