As of right now, about the only thing I know I can bring would be some cuttings of Rabbits Foot Fern. I'm going to try to start some Datura seeds and root some Sport Hibiscus (check PF for cultivar "El Capitolio") We have red and apricot? (I call it orange) Also, I have a few Plumeria I started from seed, and maybe an Orchid Tree or two if the seedlings don't fry in this heat. I'll try to have a more complete list posted in the next couple of weeks. See y'all on the 26th. jim
My "haves" as of 07/17/08:
4 or 5 Bauhinia seedlings (the tree I got the seeds from had purple blooms, that's all I know)
Clerodendrum Thomsoniae - about 12 rooted cuttings
Clerodendrum x Speciosum - about 12 rooted cuttings
Blue Ginger - I think I have 4-5 rooted cuttings
Varigated Tropical Hibiscus " Snow Queen" - 6-8 rooted cuttings
That's about all I know I have at last look. The weather has been tough on cuttings and seedlings.
I can still bring some fresh cuttings of Rabbit's Foot Fern if anyone is interested. I'll also have a few
"unlisted" plants like Randy suggested a while back. If anyone wants some of what I have listed, let me know. See ya Jim
I definitely have my "want list" started :)
Knolan- could I have a Dutchman's pipe vine and a cutting from your Oxipetalum?
Marylyn_Tx- I'd love a cutting from your orchid cactus (sometimes NOIDs are more fun waiting to see what color they are).
Moodene- One of your unknown hedichiums would be appreciated.
Let me know if you want any of what I listed above.

Marylyn_Tx and Moodene- Thanks, I'll try to edit my list. We have a lot of tropical stuff and if there is anything you've been looking for, let me know and I'll see if we have one and can take cuttings or whatever. Back to work :(
That is kinda gonna be hard for me to choose..I grow tropicals here myself..LOL...can ya list anything what ya got???...lol
Let's see- I could possibly take cuttings from Red Ti plant, maybe some Hoyas (Compacta and Carnosa), I've got some Bromeliads, Brugs and Daturas, got some Aloes, Red Texas Star Hibiscus seeds, .... that's about all that comes to mind right now. The roundup in College Station kind of cleared us out, and I'm waiting for things to catch up. Like I said, I'll have a firmer list in a couple of weeks. Jim

I'll get you down for the Datura
Thanks
Caren
Jan - gotcha down for begonia. Could I have one of your passifloras?
Jana- got ya down for Hedychium..
I should start some Black Eyed Susan vines...
I have one that I will be trimming this weekend..it's a monster..it won't stop! it gets morning shade and afternoon sun. This will be my 3rd big chop of the year...it's hard to keep up with. It likes regular fertilizing. I use 20 20 20 sometimes and a 18-8-28 sometimes..the latter is a soluable hibiscus fertilzer high in potash.
Jana, I would love one of your B. Gypsy Queen.
Veronica
Thanks Knolan and I"ll save you a passi. They are small but already climbing and up to about
24". Pretty purple on the underside.
jana
Great Caren, thank you. Is there anything you are looking for?
jana
Nadine, thanks for the hedichium. I will see you at Jerry"s an the 4th.
jana
Veronica, you surely may. I"ll go put your name on her right now.
jana
Can anyone use any white plastic name tags to ID your plants? I can bring plenty if anyone wants any.
jana
Randy, I am so glad you posted info on your Bk eyed Susan. I am having trouble with mine. Maybe not enough fert., too much sun,, I don't know. She looks awful, yellowing and dying leaves. I just got some Hibiscus fert. ,I will try that.
jana
Jana..would ya like for me to bring the ginger to Jerry's?..let me know ok..
Is it in a pot? because I have one in a pot..it's doing fine, but it's water intake is ferocious..
bye the way..Wayne is going to invite Jerry to the swap/social...Ya'll can invite him too if you want.
Randy, Susan is in a hanging pot and has climbed to the top of the support ,,, but all up the vine the leaves are dying. I water it almost everyday, but confess sometimes skip a day or so. I have fed it Miracle Gro but will mix up some Hibiscus fert. tomorrow. It has bloomed several times but I am trying to save it .
jana
Knolan: Thanks for all the great plants!
Cannagirl: I will dig up everything you asked for.
I would also love any vegetable seeds and Crocosmia anyone would like to share.
Tabitha

blue eyes--which ones do you have in mind..let me make sure to put your name on them..
Edit to say..I will take some of the salvias..I like those....
This message was edited Jun 20, 2008 8:03 AM
Kim can I have some salvia argentine skies, purple butterfly bush, and salvie greggii?
Thanks!
Tabitha
Kim, may I have some of the tall pink ruellia? I have the perfect (they can't get away!) spot for them. :-)
Nadine, yes, please bring it to Jerry's on Fri 4th.
That will be one less thing to worry about on the 26th. Thank you so much.Is there something I can bring you?
jana
Got everybody down!
Moodene....I think they are all lovely but especially like the blue mushroom with the buttons and the red birdfeeder.
:) Kim
Yeah, Jana...the Susan needs to repot..that's the problem..it needs more soil. They like having lots of humus dirt around them.
I was just walking through the garden and thought I might have a "dig your own chocolate plant" thing...but I won't be so lazy..I think. It's been a very very very good year for the chocolate plant, and they are covering some of the back garden beds..I love those plants! they are the ticket..they can spread all they want!
Awsome Sandy..have large trichotimum that I was just giving the evil eye, as I don't know where to put him..have lots of bungei...also have Philipinum...they are pretty with those big boquets..but my goodness those plants get HUGE.. The White brug in the back has gone to seed....big time...so will have brug seeds white too.
RJ, Thank you so much and as for the chocolate plant as many as you want to get rid of. (of course sharing with others too). And white brug seeds are great.
I have an addiction that won't quit and I really don't want it to. I love plants and want all of them....lol and one of every color.
May I have a chocolate plant, too, Randy? I'd be happy to dig my own. ;-)
YEA ! it is raining big time in Humble. I just finished watering somethings,hahaha.
Randy, I will repot the Susan tomorrow. I fed her
hibiscus food today. May I ask you for some of your plants? I have tried to keep track of all the offers ---Choc. plant, loquat,cler. trichotimum,plumeria, and maybe a papaya. Is all that too much? I will be happy with anything you have to offer.
jana
Yes, plumeria, trichotimum...then I will be out of those, papaya, loquoat..chocolate...
Did someone say chocolate?
This is one of 3 such patches right now.
addiction?! Ya wanna talk addiction!?
This...is the back driveway
You use to be able to see rock pathways...I have alot of work to do before ya'll show up!
Black Eyed Monster...I mean Susan
