Houston Area Plant Swap and Social Trade List
Jana I didn't get to work at Jerry's since I ended up going out of town but will bring your Hedychium to the swap.
Cannagirl- You wouldn't happen to be able to dig me up another Pitcher Plant from your pasture, would you? The one I got from you in College Station went to Plant Heaven on me ( I don't know what happened to it, it just kind of faded away). Thanks, Jim
Hmmmm....seems that someone has a birthday coming up next friday...
Whooooooo could it be!?
Nadean, I missed you at Jerry's. Ok. I will see you at Randy's.
jana
Wayne is going to invite Jerry. He would be a good one to give tips on propagation. I asked him to invite Merril too.
Great, will be nice to have them both.
I have lots of yellow butterfly weed seedlings if anyone wants them. Also about 4 diff types of ice plants if anyone would like those.
Anne
I would love yellow buttefly weed seedlings and any ice plants you would like to share. My trade list is towards the top of the thread.
Thanks!
Tabitha
Knolan...Can I have a Mexican Bush Salvia??..Thanks
Looks like I'll have a start or two of the indigo spires salvia...just checked them and they've got little roots started. Only 3-4'' cuttings but they look good.
Kim
Happy Birthday, Kim.

Happy Birthday Kim !!!!

Thanks Sandy! Is that a double oleander? It is gorgeous!
Glad your going to be there Carter!
Not to worry about bringing plants- it's a plant swap and SOCIAL lol.
Speaking of Oleander, I had a beautiful healthy yellow one that I just gave my dbf because he killed his last one. (hoping I didn't just sign this one's death warrant by giving it to him, lol) But I still want one, any color would do (though I was really looking forward to the yellow) Does anyone have one already rooted? I have terrible luck rooting them.
Anne
We look forward to meeting you, Carter!
OK....here's my most updated list and I know I'm missing something that you requested, Kim. Long story but I haven't been keeping up with the list like I should have so I just printed this whole thread out and darned if my ink isn't almost out. I've had to decipher words on a lot of the printout and can't read your request at all. Just let me know and I'll get it started.
Heavinscent - bat face, porterweed and bauhina
Randy - orchid vine, blue daze
Ilovejesus - milkweed, salvia
Bettydee - orchid vine seedling, salvia
Madrid - portweed, blue daze, coral nymph salvia, 'Belinda's Dream' rose (cross fingers), crocosmia
Marilyn - Begonia
Karlae - Oxypetalum......mine just died. I'm sorry. I wasn't a good mommy.
Janabernett - Begonia
Maidenintheshade - 'Belinda's Dream' cutting, again, cross your fingers
Louparris - blue daze, justica
Moodene - Mexican Bush Salvia
If I have missed anyone or anything, my apologies. Please speak up and I'll get to work. :P
Wants/Trades:
Randy - night blooming jasmine, climbing hydrangea.....got a spare castor bean?
Moodene - Jewel of Opar, crinum
Jana - Passiflora, also, if you have a variegated brug left, I would love one!
Madrid 2000 - Is it too late to request lemongrass?
Maidenthenshade - can I request Pride of Barbados seeds?
Heavinscent - I would love to trade the mexican bauhinia for another bauhinia. That would be wonderful!
Again, please let me know if I've missed something!
Kristi
Anne - my aunt has had luck rooting but I don;t think they're yellow. Want me to ask her what she did? I only know from second hand knowledge.
Sure, I'll try anything once, twice if I like it ;-)
Anne
Kristi-I will bring you some lemon grass.
Tabitha
knolan....no worries! Could you please put me down for the porterweed and milkweed?
Thanks! Kim
CARTER!!! glad to ya going!! will see ya there...
Okay Kristi,
What size castor bean ? I have a 7 foot castor bean and a climbing hydrangea potted together...want that one?
That'll be perfect!
Groovy..I'll put your name on it.
matter of fact I'll throw it in the car if we're going to rendez-vous this week for Caldwells
Sounds like a winner to me.
Gotcha down, Kim.
I'm working out in the shed tonight. I've dug up all the milkweed, crocosmias and coral nymph salvias. The rest will be from cuttings. I'm doubling up and keeping fingers crossed that everything takes.
I had to put some of my cuttings inside for the first 3 days....they did alright keeping cool..I'd set them out at night for the humidity.
Good idea. I was going to put them in my 'plant hospital' which is shelves DH built for me right under the pecan tree for protection. But, with this heat, bringing them in might be the better option. The porterweed usually takes with no problem. It's the other things I'm going to need to really baby.
Yeah..it did help them just starting off...I mean it was 99F today and a convection oven- I noticed that after the first couple of days they seem to be able to cope better- especially setting them out at night...cause it's still hot..helps them aclimatize

I have lots of rangoon creeper, butterfly vine, but do you want a clipping or the seeds? So new to this. Never done it before. So let me know.
I'd say Rangoon seeds, clipings are fairly challenging
butterfly vine...is that butterfly peavine? that would definately be seeds, unless you have seedlings growing
Randy may I have
1- gal 'Tropicana' Canna
1- gal Pennisetum glaucum 'Purple Majesty'
1- 6" azalea pots Buddleia 'Black Knight'
and I would love 2 of the 6" azalea pots Ajuga 'Burgundy Glow' and would take what ever may be left after everyone asks. I have wanted some to go around my flower bed for a long time.
some of the bulbs of Crocosmia - golden
Could you tell me what you have for me already?
and what is Verbena venosa
I don't want to be a piggy, You have so many things I have wanted or I can't resist. lol
I will list my haves here soon so you don't have to look up my trade list
Thanks,
Thanks Kristi ! I hope it roots.
You certainly may have some PoB seeds. I'll bring a big bag of them.
I'm getting anxious!
