CLOSED: Second Chance Wishlist Swap #3

Maozamom,

I don't know if you saw my dmail sent at 6:38 am yesterday morning, but might you have enuf seeds to share of:

Red Asian Spinach
Maltese Cross?

I have some things on your wants list but not in great enough quantity to go around, so will add to the dmail I sent you earlier.

Is anyone getting any sleep around here?

Starlight,
It's been so crazy I don't remember requesting any Italian White previously but I looked it up and it's beautiful. I would love to have some if you have any to spare. Thanks, Rachel

TCS- Thank you for being so generous. Let me know how yours do this summer!

Rachel..... Sure thing. Will ad d them to your envie.

Seandor-if you want it I have some artemesia (think I spelled it right??) "Silver Mound' seeds I collected-it is soft a fluffy and moves in the wind-great texture and sometimes when I play in the dirt in that bed I like to play with it since it feel sooooo good....

I bet those Italian White sunflowers would be pretty with Ansonfan's orange Hearts & Honey morning glory vine - and maybe some blue Salvia farinacea?

There are some strange flowers coming out of the Morning Glory forum - what do y'all think about this gray MG? It came to me as Gray Morning Mist, but it's not true to its namesake and no one seems to know what it is. Not that I would go looking for gray flowers, but wouldn't this be fun among Gothic blacks? There's a dianthus called Chianti that has that same color in the throat of this MG, only it's a black-toned fuchsia and has a white picotee edging like this MG. I think to have a long drift of Chianti and that tall, silvery, felted wormwood, Artemisia 'Silver Queen' at the base of this MG might be fun.

And then, next cross bar up the arbor, how about the moonflower (Ipomoea alba) with the white-flowered, silver-woolly-leaved Lychnis coronaria at is feet? Something with sword-like blades - maybe the repeat-blooming iris 'Immortality' in between would give more color/texture echoes...and a silvery woolly mat of thyme swirling over the path's edge under the iris up to the lychnis & wormwood?

Who wants to help me figure out what to do with the rest of the arbor? It follows a 17' long path up a transverse slope with a garden to the right facing the back and a yew hedge to the left with a narrow bed in front.

In reality, this MG was part of an arbor over a path last summer - in the background, y'all ignore that weed to the right - just wanted to point out a color echo between the gray of GMM and the gray of the leaves of a Dianthus plumarius that cascaded down its part of the hill behind.

Suzy, I need a few more hours before I can update my lists above. I haven't had to say no to anyone yet who has dmailed me for seeds since I last updated it - so far I've been able to come up with something for everyone. I have a large variety of small amounts of seed that are too few to list on this thread - but I never could have located it until this swap forced me to organize things into a findable state. The Mighty Caped Illoquin could make a fortune whipping disorganized gardeners like me into shape - lol!

Well, the NARGS (http://www.nargs.org/) seed exchange list finally came yesterday - LeBug & I kept missing each other's shadows in PlantFiles last night, which is where I'll be if anyone wants to get hold of me for a while longer. I'll be checking in here & my dmail for the next few hours.

anosfan -- what color is your beebalm

Suzy

I see this on your list

Gaillardia 'Burgundy'

still available?

and saw this:
Hollyhock Country Romance mmix BLOOMS FIRST YEAR from seed pink, rose wine TT TCS
very cool. Thanks.

Ugg, and i thought i was done.

Terese

LOL! TCS, Those 2 I have, I'm pulling, but when I ask for things that I'll probably forget, they are on there. I willbe back inthe afternoon...I have a poile of dmail so if you really, really need me, change the subject line to READ THIS NOW or somehting :))

TCS, The Gaillardia Burgundy is one of the few Gaillardias I've found that have viable seed inthe trade packs. Most of them are husks.

Blue, I need to look up Heart & Honey -- PamSue got it and she has good taste (read: my taste LOL!) and now you're talking about it. hmmm. Thank for looking for grays. I have one thing here, maybe. That big white furry thing you were talking about -- a Salvia was it? Salvia argenta? That was cool looking, too!

ALL, Listen to Blue about the color echos she knows what she's talking about and can turn your flower bed into a garden with some better placements of flowers.!

I'll be back this afternoon...

Suzy



,

me too, tcs

Maozamom & I are winning over our computer gremlins - we are discovering how many are the ways a dmail can get lost - thank you Maozamom for bearing with me

karen

But, no scheme - be it color or organizing things so you can fine them - is ever so satisfying as when serendipity bumps into it - so I really would love to hear musings from everyone here, too.

Ditto about PamSue's taste - I never would have known to pick out the MGs she did last year. Why bother surfing eBay when you've got PamSue to trade with? lol

Blue, I was really intrigued by the possibility of any kind of gray colored flower, but that picture seems to be a bit shaded - I wonder if that makes it appear more gray than it is? And now I'm gonna havta go do some doodling and see what your arbor would look like with those plants you suggested!

Oh, yes, I forgot to tell you all -- Dryad is a landscaper designer. Seriously. With paying clients!

And yes, Serendipity can be outstandingly awesome..

Suzy

just don't go lookin' at my website expecting it to be beautifully designed - LOL!

dyrad57 - you've been holding out on us! Someday I hope to be affluent enough to hire you :-)

I couldn't agree more Karen. I had never perceived that purple smoke oranges in it until a Siberian wallflower came up beside it. Intense. I guarantee now that this is a permanent partnership in my garden.

mao

Not really holding out - this is the one place I've run into where the population knows not just more than I do, but much more :) You'se guys are not the "general public" when it comes to landscaping and gardening - LOL! That being said, I'm always happy to offer a free opinion to my buds here on DG - you just have to take it for what it's worth! (And I specialize in designs, and trying to get people to want to be in their yard. I'm not sure you'd fit the second half of that!)

Suzy I would like some please and thank you!
Poppy - Annual single purple
Porcupine Grass Miscanthus sinensis 'Little Nicky'
Coleus 'Kong' 100 seeds
Marigold, French 'Tiger Eyes'
Mina lobata - Vine, Hummers
Scabiosa 'Butterfly Blue' Z3-9 perennial
Snapdragons Crowne Royale, mini rich red

Suzy, I have some 'red carnation' poppies if you want some, if not I’ll put them on my list, what color poppies are you looking for in annuals?

George, I would like some candy tuft please.
I’ll take those summer berries yarrow? Too and if you can split that pack if you have enough with Maragaran they are good for butterflies if there isn’t enough to split just put maragaran’s name on them she’ll like them :)

maozamom, I would like some blue flax please.

Robynznest, This sounds pretty: Malva 'Purple Satin'

Fairy, Could I have some and please,
Shrub-St. John's Wort 'Sunburst' X2
Stokesia 'Purple Prasols'

Thanks, I'll try and dmail everyone when I get back from town this afternoon.
Lea

LeBug, flax is tagged for you

tcs1366 I have put you down for the Beebalm.

gee, I thought this would die down and it just keeps rolling. I can barely keep up, but I'm so afraid I'll miss something LOL I DO NOT need one more seed (but, help me, help me, I still want 'em)

great.... i checked and replied to Dmail before i came in here... Thanks.

LeBeg, I have these:

»Poppy - Annual single purple
»Porcupine Grass Miscanthus sinensis 'Little Nicky'
»Coleus 'Kong' 100 seeds
»Marigold, French 'Tiger Eyes'
»Mina lobata - Vine, Hummers
Scabiosa 'Butterfly Blue' Z3-9 perennial
»Snapdragons Crowne Royale, mini rich red

Gram, I had offered you the Scabiosa 'Butterfly Blue' in dmail, did you want it? The pack is not big enough to split. (LeBug,Gram is kinda picky (that might not have come out right, but you get the drift ROTF!) and if she doesn't want it, it will automatically roll over to you.)

Forgot to say, I will throw and sow the doubles red, but go ahead and list them and if somebody is dying for them let them have 'em. What am I looking for? LOL! I no sooner think I am looking for it, as I seem to get it. Yesterday I told Wind I think I'd put white Morning glories on a trellis on the patio, and within 2 hours there was a pack in the mail somebody had sent me as extra in a little trade!

Sea, Nice of you to list here so we know, but she'll need confirmation in Dmail.

Hey Shirley!!! Nice to see you! Are you cleaning out your seedbox or joining the fray? You might want to take a peek above, my list is somewhat out of date, but maybe there is somehting on there (frankly I doubt it, but you never know!). There are a lot of lists above,tho.

If you don't get any hits on the things like Gaillardia, Marigold, Dahlia, Penstemon, Coreopsis, well, everything there, actually, LOL! I have 3 people who are in just not monitoring who say they can take anything, anything, for butterflies -- 2 in Florida and 1 in Texas. I bet they would take that Protea, too. Man! I wish I could take it...wouldn't that be cool?

I also have a gal that runs a community garden who wants any and all tomatoes, cukes, squash, and eggplant, of all things. Starlight. She has some commercial pansies up there (Do a search on "Fama" if you're interested.) and some other stuff. She logs on in the morning, and has been know to take Collards, too, I can't figure out what makes the grade and what she passes on.

PLEASE let me know anthing you might be interested in -- some cool stuff comes through, and WZ will be sending us a bag or a box, so we have those yet to list..

Thanks for posting!

Suzy

Suzy

Snick snick -- I wondered if you'd pop in, Connie!

I actually have Centaurea saved for you.

I need to look up some of them because I think they are gone...

Suzy

Suzy - if you need spare Centaurea (Batchelor Button, right?) I have some. (I don't tell you everything I have :-)

Editted - everything has been tagged and I have sent you all dmails if I could not fulfill a request. Happy Swapping everyone! KD

Shirley I would love to get some of your Phlox, "Promise Peach"

plmk if you have them

thanks Connie

LOL Suzy, you should have known I would sneak in :o)

I WS 67 different seeds between yesterday and today. Plus i did some pots I am experiencing with... I haven't stuck those out side yet, we are being bomb barded with high high winds and hard rains. So holding off on sticking those out.

I still have 100's of seeds to start, but will do those in the GH, I am tired lol But boy it sure was good to be out working in the GH, it hit 80 in there today *grinning*

KD -- Okay, thanks!

KD -Did you see 4 or 5 messages up where pepsidrinker wanted BB white profuaion? Post #4376606

Suzy

KD - you just had to put some more stuff in the trough for the piggies, didn't ya?? I'm dmailing you with my embarrassing wish list :)

(edited for really stooopid spelling)

This message was edited Jan 8, 2008 10:51 PM

Suzy, I found a pack of Scabiosa 'Butterfly Blue' from the last swap, so those can roll right on to LeBug. and I prefer to think of myself as minimally piggy, rather than picky LOL

I really like that grampapa - I am not piggy - I'm just not picky! I'll take anything! everything! lol

Thanks for all the dmails guys, and Dryad and others if I listed it above it is because they are doubles I received in a swap / trade these past few months trading or somethign I cannot use, so please ask for all you want. I will respond to all and clean up with dmail tonight. And On the butterfly bush I am just looking to see if I have more and will confirm. Thanks all.

......Yes, ask for as much as you want!!!!!!!! LOL! Less work for me!

Fairy, Why don't you give your list one more whirl on the thread? Either post, or send a link. Connie/Pepsi hasn't seen it yet, I know, but there are (supposedly) 3 new people who might want to see it before you mail it to me on Thursday.

......walking away muttering...now where did those new people go I know they were just here......

Suzy, I can copy & pate it down here, but I think Terese was the one that was going to send hers on Thur...I will copy & past my updated list below...

Shirley-do you still have either of these?? If so I'd like to tag 'em

Clematis heracleifolia
Clematis viticella

KD-I have echinacea purpea (spelling) from a flower that I got at a garage sale this last summ. On my plant, the leaveas are a light shade of green & the flower is a really pretty purple!!-LMK

YEs -- I'm D O N E !!
I've already printed my "letter" to Suzy with seed lists, etc. All i have left to do is "labels" for shipping and stuff the Bubble Envie.

My head is spinning... and to top it off.. in the mail, i got Jackson and Perkins, Springhill, Michigan Bulb, and Gardens Alive!! OH, such pretty flowers.... so now I know what a lot of these plants will look like... OH and some of their coneflowers... there is this new green one.... *wipes drool* though it was $20!!
