North Central Texas Fall Roundup Trade Thread.

Not a problem Lynea, I just wish we had at least 2 weeks in between, it would be easier on those that are trying to make both.

Actually, if I can get myself organized, it will be fun having two RU's back to back. I can load approximately half the plants one week and the other half, the next. Unless I lose my last bit of sanity and trade twice as much, it will be easier. I am not waiting until the week before to dig and pot. I have already started! I have learned to sort everything into boxes labeled with recipient and to print two copies of my list. I always lose the list at the last minute, so an extra copy will be already in the vehicle before I start packing.

Lynea, there is no cure for iris addiction. Sorry if I infected you, but I will bring "medication." It's not such a bad addiction to have. I received two boxes of co-op irises in the mail today.

Josephine, if you still have an extra fig, could I have it?

Yeah.. we're confused...Lynea.. but remember.. we are still SANE!!...rotf!!

Josephine,
I would love to have a Fig!

Well, I know that I had promised one to someone earlier, and Pat asked first, so she gets the extra one, but maybe I can root another another one for you Melva, or if the first person doesn't claim it, I will give it to you Melva.

What kind of Fig, is it Josephine?

Josephine, you are so sweet. I have access to fig cuttings and can root one. Please let Melva have the one you have.

Are you sure, Pat?

Definitely. I can root figs and have a friend with a very nice bush.

Melva, my sweet little Amber kitten has turned into the orange marmalade terror. The water spray bottle has worked, somewhat, until now, but she took a soaking today to continue doing several unacceptable behaviors: chair shredding, plant shredding, people shredding. I hope Corky is doing well.

He is growing like a weed...and he keeps getting under my feet when I walk..I tell him if he trips me, he will be sorry..not sure if he believes me...

Pat and Melva, I will wait to see if the other person claims the Fig, it is Texas Brown Turkey.
Josephine.

Pattie, the tree that James brought I believe is a large shrub but actually I am not sure.
I think it is a Bee Brush, Aloysia gratissima,

I have two that I got from Pat and planted them at the Fielder House garden.
They are blooming now and smell wonderful, does it look like the picture?
Josephine.

No, it doesn't have rounded leaves. If I get a chance I'll take a picture of it later and post it.

Alright!! thank you Pattie.

Yes it was me asking for a fig as mine died but we are going to a wedding the end of the month in Houston and until I start getting my paycheck for school in session I don't know if I am going to be able to make it over to the RU.

So go ahead and give it to one of the gals coming for sure I can get one another time.

O.K. Phyllis, I will root another Fig for you. I do hope you get to come, you are such a great helper and a lot of fun to have around too, but I understand there are limitations.
Josephine.

O.K. Everybody, I finally put up a list, please check it out and let me know what you want.
Josephine.

thanks Josephine I'll post closer to time if I can make it ..I know I would love to as I see some great stuff offered fro trade but hate to ask and not be able to come.

Phyllis, maybe you can ride with someone from East Texas, surely someone besides you is planning to come?

Very good list Merpeg, you will be trading your plants away very soon.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pattie, those leaves do look different, especially being serrated at the tip.
I will ask James what it is. Thank you for taking the picture.
Josephine.

It wil be nice to meet you , Merpeg!

Phyllis and I usually ride together because we live so close. Sorry, I can't offer a ride this time. I'm going to spend Friday night in Arlington. My mother in law is going to the RU with me and the Friday before I'm going to dig her plants for her.I hope to get her "have and want" list posted soon.

Excellent Lynea, one more person to add to the list. I am sure Phyllis will find someone else to ride with.

Josephine ... if you or anyone have those Daturas , with the flower that unfolds. I would love some some of any color.:)

Peg, I'd love to have your two hostas. Please check my list and see if there are plants you would like to have. I'll be adding more too as soon as it looks like my cuttings are going to root and I get some irises and daylilies dug and divided.
Thanks,
Patricia

Patricia, the hostas are yours. Thanks so much, causing I was already eyeing your ghost plant and indigo spires if they are still available. Peg

Peg, I'll put your name on a couple of 'Indigo Spires' and a big pot of ghost plant. Thank you so much for the hostas!

Sylvia, I will put your name on the purple datura.

Am I still welcome if I have nothing to trade?

Trixi

Yes!!

Absolutely Trixi, just bring your friendly self.
Josephine.

Pattie, check out this picture of Bee brush, evidently the leaf is very variable, check the lower right.

Peg.. I'd like a hanging basket of caladiums..please... Look on my list for whatever you like!!

Boy, Josephine, I just don't know. It has all those serrated leaves. I can't tell from the photos if any of those are serrated or not. It's in shade right now, so it's not blooming, but maybe when you get it planted it will.

I dmailed him so he should know.

Thanks Jo! :)
