Allright!!! she is back!!!
North Central Texas Fall Roundup Trade Thread #2
I can take mystic spires cuttings if anyone wants some as well. I have gotten a few to take already.
Deb...it'll be great to see you! I've got a bumper crop of monarch cats eating me out of house and home right now, as well as my first giant ST cats.
:) Kim
Thanks Sheila, Josephine
and Kim~ That's great! It will be good to see all of you too!
Y'all- I have updated my list.
Dennis- The Heartleaf Ampelopsis has not been invasive for me, but I've heard that is is for other folks.
Anna-I'd love the Silver grass! I'll put you down for a Winged Loosestrife, too.
Stephanie- I'll put you down for a Skullcap, too. Can I have some Rock Rose seeds or plants, please?
Becky- I'm wanting the ones with ovate leaves.
On a separate note- I found these cats this morning on the Mexican Milkweed that I got from Josephine. I got them all off and put them in a plastic bottle. What kind are they and what else will they eat besides Mexican Milkweed?
OK, just figured out they are Monarchs. Just have to figure out what all they can eat. Antelope Horns?
Yes they are monarchs and they will eat Antelope horns as well as the green milkweed as well as the mexican milkweed, you are a lucky guy to find them, how many do you have?
You can feed them individual leaves so you won't strip your plants.
I found 3 that are about the size of the one in the photo, and I found 4-5 more really small ones up around the blooms. The small ones are striped, too. Are they also Monarchs? Maybe male and female? I have put some Antelope Horns in the bottle and they are going to town on it! The big ones are eating the leaves and the little ones are up around the blooms. Thanks Josephine!
TJ... ok now i know what you want.. how many though?? We have 22 acres..lol I have plenty! Aren't those pretty cats??
Becky- they are very pretty, but they sure do poop alot! As far as the Yaupons go, I'd like to have about 8 pretty good sized plants, if you have them. Now, don't go killing yourself to get these things dug!
TJ... ok.. but just how large.. lol I might have to strap my cousin on the top of the car to get them in.. hehehehehe
Ha! If they are just 1-2 feet tall, that would be great, but like I said, don't put yourself out too much on account of me. You're too good!
Sounds like I need to bring you some extra Milkweed seeds for next year TJ.
That might not be a bad idea, Sheila!
Hello Everybody, I started a new trade thread because this one was getting too long;

I think the link is wrong Josephine - it takes me to broncbuster's trade list...
You know I have been trouble galore with the new thread, I will try again.

Bumping this up, you don't need to add to it, but you might want to read through in case you forgot something.
