Spirit of this swap:
This is actually an easy swap for ALL of us here. We know each other prettttttyyyy goood (a la Larry David) .. so there should be no problems at all in coming up with that 'special' ringing in 2009 gift for any of us. And if we don't, there's plenty of time to do so ^_^
It doesn't have to be restricted to crafts, can be anything .. that plant you know will grace your buddy's garden and bring a smile when it starts blooming .. or even a jar of very much sought after preserves that will delight your sistah in the mornings or tea time.
Not seeking commercial nor monetary value on the gift.
Just a gift that says: "I am glad you are my Sistah and with this, I wish you the best for 2009".

Kahili ginger. The Hawai'ians regard them as weeds cause they're invasive.

Jaye, have you checked with the experts on the Brug forum? I just think a two color blooming Brug is a special gene pool plant.

All of your Brugs are beautiful. I know they are heavy feeders, but I haven't fertilzed mine since April and they are doing fairly well.

TabacVille, NC(Zone 7a)

Venetian Voyager. Just got this from Lily Auction and it's blooming already.

Cordele, GA(Zone 8a)

Hey, those gingers are my kind of weed!

TabacVille, NC(Zone 7a)

There are so many schools when it comes to feeding brugs, Deborah.

Somehow, you'd be in tune to the ones around you, and you'll know what they need. I feed them every week plus top dressing with two inches of compost once a month.
RIght now I'm battling with grasshoppers and haven't used any poison to deal with them. They chewed Lemon Parfait's buds :(*

I go crazy when I check with the brug forum..make me doubt myself sometimes!! Lol!!!

Todgor's Big Wow dahlia. Close to 8 inches across!

(Kim) Philadelphi, PA(Zone 6a)

I'm not kidding, it's for a party.. humming bird cake, cherry pies. apple pies, chocolate cake and carrot cake : ) I love your Kahili well I never met a ginger I didn't like ; }

(Kim) Philadelphi, PA(Zone 6a)

Double Wow!!!

TabacVille, NC(Zone 7a)

Tod is sweet..he shared his dahlias with so many.
NOL, slowly doing a strip tease..hope the rain won't destroy the blooms.

Someday... I would love to come see your gardens in person, Jaye... you post some of the loveliest beauties I've ever seen.

TabacVille, NC(Zone 7a)

Will be praying for you and Deb's safe journey there tomorrow.

TabacVille, NC(Zone 7a)

Wish they all bloom at the same time! You might have to stay the whole summer, BJ!!

Getting these on so Stacey has something to look at in the morning while this Aunt is still snoozing.
