Looking for MIL tongue

San Antonio, TX(Zone 8a)

I am willing to trade a nice pine needle basket for a nice Mother in laws tongue. I'm not sure the botanical name for it but if you have this and are willing to trade for a basket that I make please let me know. I arranged a trade before but I have never received it.
Thanks
Jan
Thank you all. I have enough now. Moofiepoo is the last trade for this basket trade.

Here is a sample of my baskets.

I will gladly send you a mother-in-law tongue. A basket is too expensive for that trade though.

Do you have a plant to trade?

San Antonio, TX(Zone 8a)

No, I am just starting over from scratch since our move. I had to leave all my plants to a friend. It took a van and a small PU to haul them all away. I cried to see all my hard work and love being left behind. At least they went to a good friend.
I can make you a small basket like the one on the bottom if you want.

Wow, great. I will start the baskets when the plants arrive. I have been pretty lucky with the trades lately but the baskets are time consuming and take a bit of work.
Thank you
Jan
My address is in the adress forum.

Here in Florida many types of Sansevieria grow outside in the yards. I would be happy to send you a couple of different ones.

It looks like you have it covered for now. If for any reason the other two offers don't work out, just D-mail me and I'll send you a plant.

Dutchlady1 and sunshinesw I will take them all and I will make you both a small basket. The size of the basket depends on the plants sent.
Thank you so much. My address is on the addy exchange.
Just go into extras at the top and you can find the addys.
Thank you both so much.
I will be making baskets till the sun comes home. I have made 14 baskets this past month. My poor hands are hating life. Hehe

And just an FYI Jan...if you have a local Walmart and stalk it enough you can find BIG ones in 6" pots for $3 - that's how much I got mine for a couple of months ago.

Your package is on the way.

Thanks Chantell, I apreciate the info. I just enjoy tradeing within the family. Ya know what I mean. I absolutely love your name. I always have love the name and don't be offended, but I name one of my very favorite puppies Chantell. She was a Gordon Setter and the name suited her perfectly. She was such a little lady. A little dumb but always sweet and gentel.

Yes trading with these wonderful folks is a blessing...but I'm never opposed to picking up something cheap at my Walmart - that's how I acquired my Persian Lilac a few years ago....and recently some Spanish Lavender for $3 - always a pleasant surprise what you can find on their 2 for $6 tables. No offense taken - LOVE Gorden Setters....beautiful dogs...I had a mix years ago that resembled a Gordon - mama was an English Setter....no ones knows what "dad" was but my dog was that black and tan color with the feathering coat....sweet boy he was!!!!

A Persian Lilac. What does that look like. Does it smell any different then our common lilacs? Yes, I do agree, it is hard to pass up some of the great finds when you come upon them and i have indulged myself more then I care to admit. Thanks so much.

Here's a pic I took a few weeks ago...the Persian apparently stays more petite then some of the others...great scent!!

I have some tubers of Mother in law tongue or snake plant. These get to be about 5 or 6 feet tall. We cleaned up a yard for someone and she wanted to cut the cluster in half. We still have about 15 tubers. Not sure if you want anything that big. Dmail me if you do.

That Persian Lilac is pretty, never heard of those before.

IF anyone else is interested in the tubers please contact me...I have 20 planted that is the left overs.
