What are you looking for/would like to see brought to the RU

Here's the white.

OK, here is the "red" Nancy, which I would call mauve.

pretty! i have "scarlet" creeping thyme, which bloomed pinky-purple like that. i just figured the plant was labeled wrong. But maybe red is a broader concept than i imagined.
Does anyone have globe thistle they'd like to share?

So you'd rather have "red" Nancy?

i like both - whichever you have more of, i'd be delighted to take some.

The white is easier for me to start new ones of, because it's in a container. In fact I have a whole bunch started already. (I think that the mauve flowers are more of a detractor from the overall look, where they are. I thought they would be fire engine red, red.) But I can certainly bring some of the "red" too!

I love the lamium in baskets... going to have to root more for next year

I just spent 2 hours sorting tulip bulbs. I cleaned out all the mushy bulbs as they had been in a black plastic sack for a week. There will be bulbs for everyone! The bag I got was so heavy that I couldn't lift it to get it in the trunk. I sorted the bulbs and put them in cardboard boxes with a little straw to cushion them.

cool... i am so excited ... can't wait

I have tons - you want some? I can root white for everyone! (In baskets, hunh? I only put it in a container where it can cascade, or could if I would stop nipping at it!)

Carrie - regarding the creeping phlox: it's tough - just scoop up a trowel full and dump it in a pot, well watered - it's good to go! What are your colors?

I will bring fragrant Nicotiana (Tobacco), some Sweet William seedlings, Catchfly (Silene Armeria) - see pic, Rose Campion for Michaela (D-mail me if anyone else wants one. I have magenta and white ones.) Oh, and Johnny Jump-ups.

Thanks so much Celeste... trully appreciate...

OMG,you really did get the tulip bulbs .we all appreciate your hard work.

I would love some Carrie

I agree with you on the treatment of the Creeping Phlox. And, it grows and spreads so quickly in just a year or two!

I have gobs of it but I tried to start some for a friend and it didn't do too well - maybe I need to add water before the leaves turn brittle this time, LOL? Maybe it's that I ripped it up instead of scooping it up? It's not quite the pretty color it looks like in this picture, and I can never decide if it's blue or pink. It's this color (and that's not our beautiful spring lawn):

Carrie:

Once I have my photos back from my old laptop, I'll send a side-by-side of the growth in just one season. In all honesty, the only thing that Anna and I have ever done is to pretty much whack it with a spade to cut off a chunk and then bury what we cut into the soil a couple of inches where we want it to grow and spread. It does tend to get out of hand with its spreading, but it's very easy to control.

Well, Candyce, that picture was from this spring, and it's already half again as big. I put a bunch up in pots to bring with me to RU. Also more mauve Nancy (for Amy) and Yarrow (for Melissa - MissyMa? Man, I can't remember!). I have a flat of impatiens - I picked out all the bright pink and orange and used them so I am bringing the lavender-lilac-colored ones for you pale purple lovers to fight over.

I will wish for "anything" perenial as lord knows there is enough room for basically anything perenial.

If anyone wants Canterbury Bells cup and saucer Mix, pink, white and blue. I will part with 100 in 3" pots. Blue Fecus Grass 50 in 3" pots.

ooooo - Sherrie - put me down for the blue fecus grass.
My mom always says "Beggars can't be choosers" but I love ornamental grasses!!

Anyone have tarragon to spare? I read that it cannot be started by seed, only by cuttings - root divisions.

Nanegoat - You can have as many as you want. What am I supposed to do - tag them for you? I am a ninny. Is there a plant called a ninny? If so I want all of them.

I'm as clueless as you, Sherrie. Guess we're both ninnies. This is my first RU. My first year of gardening with a purpose. My first year at DG. You get the idea.
Truly - with the amount you have, I shouldn't need to worry. Right?

schickenlady - this is impossible - I love canterbury bells - and blue fescue grass. Is there something you want - maybe oriental poppies?

I will take anything and give it a home as long as it is a perenial, bulb or tuber or anything that will come back year after year without having to dig it up and be its mommy and put it to bed for winter. Other then putting a blanket on it.

Gee, you are easy to please, schickenlady! I just potted up 9 hardy geranium "Johnson's Blue" - and I have verbena hasta (lots). Also catmint - "Blue Wonder"

I would love some poppies!

:)

Could I have one of HG.Johnson's Blue please ? I can trade you something else ( no Annuals)

I'd love some of the Johnson's Blue as well, if you please.

Would anyone like some run-of-the-mill, no care needed, found almost anywhere, white daisies?

(Editted for spelling)

Yes! I would love white daisies, Candyce! Run of the mill, over the hill, old mill stream - what ever! Thanks!

Oh good!
We'll give the daisy clumps a hair cut, then!!

oh you guys are hillarious... Make a way for the plants!!!!

I will take anything Perenial !

I will take things that crawl and overtake grass... lol

perennials i have to bring:
black peppermint
oregano of some kind
coreopsis: nana
liriope: plain, with purple flowers. unkillable.
dianthus: firewitch
dianthus: bath's pink
cupid's dart (growing slooowwwly, but it is a perennial, so maybe someday it will bloom)
The oregano, liriope, and black peppermint will crawl and overtake anything.
