College Station Spring Roundup-TRADES 2
Good idea Kim, the other one was getting rather slow.
Kim get the link to the trades and put it on your post at the top please. I won't be able to make it to the RU, but I am still here to help with the trade links if anyone needs me to link your post with the others.
Bummer, Sheila. By the time I finally get to see you again, I'll have forgotten how much you don't look like Cj.:)
I may just fool some of you and show up at a RU down south later this year. I retire in May and plan on getting to know more DGers.
Charlene - thought you might be interested in this Oleander - kind of a peach color - I took cuttings from a plant in New Orleans while I was over there right after Katrina. I'll bring you some cuttings,...if you'd like!
Lee
How sweet of you to think of me. You bet, I'd like a start of the peach oleander. I will be indebted to you.
Charlene
Not at all......my pleasure! :)
Sheila, you are retiring? ... and then what?
Well this week the DH decided to go ahead and retire also. He will be home after April 1st. So when I retire in May we may do some traveling, mainly short trips around TX. Figured I could get in a few swaps along the way if I plan it right.
Great plan Sheila.
That would be great, Sheila! Retirees who stay active and have interests that keep them somewhat busy are usually happier than the ones who don't.
I hear ya Linda! That was my concern, not having enough to do. I think if I stayed home, I will be dead in two years ... from bordom. At least Sheila has the DH and they could plan and do things together. Also I cant afford to retire ... I will need to give up something because this is as good as it gets ... I am already living on two pensions, SS and a job ... major cut back if I stop working.
Sylvia, all your money is planted in the backyard!! Hosta's don't come cheap! LOL!
Sheila, you'll love it and you'll wonder how you ever found time to have a job (that paid money LOL).
Finally got out into the garden and dug up some things for the upcoming roundup. Among those already on my list, I also dug up some black and blue salvia and Clara Curtis mum.
Kim

Kim - may I have a little start of the Blk & Blu Salvia - I would be most grateful!! Thanks, Lee
Thanks Sheila for the link. I've been awol for a bit and didn't see the new thread.
Thanks Sheila!
Willis....got you down for the black and blue.
Thank you veddy much!
Hey everyone...please post here for the final headcount and to sign up for food: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/823898/ . Thanks!
Here is a preliminary trade list.
Have:
3-4 rooted cuttings variegated sea hibiscus
Am trying to root some sport hibiscus cuttings
Should have some white datura metel seedlings
Rabit's foot fern cuttings (should be rooted by then)
Several small aloe ( not sure what kind- maybe we can ID there)
Euphorbia trigona cuttings
Have managed to sprout some Plumeria seeds- we'll see how they look in a few weeks
If anyone is interested, I could get some cuttings of Hoyas and some bromeliads to bring also
Our main interests are tropical plants for around our koi pond, so as far as wants:
Almost any kind of fern, bromeliad, or orchid. Also, if anyone has any plumerias, we'll take cuttings or plants regardless of whether the color is known ( finding that out is half the fun anyway). Jim
Jim...I've got a couple bromeliads I could bring you. Also have lots of hoyas rooted if you are looking for more. Would love some rabbit's foot fern.
Thanks, Kim

Sure thing, Charlene. I don't have one of those. I'll trade you a Black Magic Colocasia if you don't have one.
What is a alocasia cuculatta? I looked in PF and didn't find it.
AJ....I'd be interested in your cupheas, angelonia, and dwarf coreopsis. Please look at my list and see if there is anything I can bring for you.
Thanks, Kim
Sylvia - I promised you full grown Cleyera japonica shrubs, and DH informed me there was no way we could transport them in our SUV - just not enough room. I didn't think about that when I offered them - just preferred not to throw them away when I reworked that bed. So - bottom line - I can't bring them and I'm really sorry about that... :- {
Is there anything else I can bring for you instead?
Adding Gulf Coast Penstemon....
And Black Pearl Peppers too...
Hmmm. Black Pearl Peppers sounds interesting to me CJ. BTW the crinodonna is finally showing some green. I was afraid it wouldn't come back. It didn't get any mulch before winter and no water either.
Ceejay, don't throw them away as I will be coming through on 45 going to my sister's in Spring/Tomball. Save them in a trashbag with the dirt around them and I'll give a holler pretty soon. How many do you have?
Charlene
I have some Red Yuccas that are now in the shade and can't bloom. If anyone wants them, let me know. Otherwise, I'll giving them to the subdivision for their entrance area. No trade needed.
Linda, may I have them ,Please?
Sure. I have too many in my yard. I really didn't see any sense in leaving them where they can't ever bloom again...better to give them away so they can go enjoy the sunshine again...and bloom!
AJ
Can I get some of the society garlic and/or butterfly ginger? Also can the garlic take direct all day sun?
Anne
I will give some to those around here who need them, how many do you have?
There are 3 clumps of Red Yucca that really need to go. I think the clumps are probably multiple plants that can be divided up, but I haven't dug these up yet.
Well maybe I shouldn't be hoggish, if there are others that would like to have some, please ask, I didn't know there were that many.
