ET Fall RU 10-11-08 Trade List Pt. 3
Is anyone else having trouble getting the trade links to open?
Hey Ya'll,
We're gonna have to miss this RU. DH and I became sick on a trip over Labor Day and while DH is in the pink, I'm struggling occasionally.
I had promised EastTxYardBoy and darkmoondreamer a cutting from a Vitex. If you're ever in the Nacogdoches area, pop in and I'll give you cuttings of that and anything else. Just D-mail me and I'll send you directions.
Anyone else from these boards has the same offer.
Well you work on you getting better that is more important then the Ru
We'll miss you! Feel better soon!
I've been saving the seeds from a few special varieties of my giant zinnias separately and now think I have enough of this particular one to share if anyone wants some.
It's an off white cactus bloom and gets about 3" across.
Depending on how many people want some will depend on how many seeds I can put in each packet. Even a tablespoon will give you a good start... I've only had ONE plant this year with this bloom, and it's been a serious bloomer.

Oh BJ, may I have some of these desert white seeds? Is there anything from my list you would like? Those are beautimous!
Karen, the photo doesn't do justice, as usual... but, of course... I'll put your name on some.
What color are your shrimp plants? I'm looking for the fruit cocktail if you have any.
haha, I am looking for fruit cocktail too! Isn't that funny? I did find an online nursery that sells BLUE ones, I'm going to buy some next summer. I have the regular pink kind if you'd like one.
Yes, I would... I have yellow and red... but no pink... thank you.
Thanks Phyllis, for adding me to the list.
BJ could i have a few of your cactus Zinnia. I don't need many seeds as they will go into a container.maybe 4 or 5 seeds.TIA
Becky,I'm sure i'm older than you so i had that title first. ROFLOL
Texas gardener, My garden was neglected for 3 or 4 years and i was amazed at how much survived. Definately worth the risk and effort.
Vickie
Vickie....OK ok.... lol maybe you are a lil older... soo we will have to share the title.. cause I need it too..LOLOL
You got it Vickie...
bj I just realized that you said you have yellow shrimp plant and I have that on my want list...may I have a little please? Be glad to make another trade with you.
Sure Karen... but you're already bringing me some pale pink and purple Althea cuttings... I think I have one new little yellow shrimp plant coming up...
Not sure how to propagate them... cuttings?
bj I haven't had good luck with rooting cutting of the shrimp plant either, although it's supposed to be easy. I killed about 6 cuttings of the yellow this past spring...
I just looked it up... and see that simple layering is the way to do it. Too late to do that now for the RU, but I'm going to try it, and I'll be sure you get one if it works. OK?
But I'll see if I can find the little one and bring it.
ok kids what is this??? my CRS syndrome has kicked in and for the life of me I can't remember unless my brain is tellin the truth I wanna say Mexican hydrangea???
whatever it is there are number of lil ones comin up that I can dig up for trade if anyone is interested
It looks like a hydrangea leaf alright... but I've never heard of a Mexican Hydrangea... and I didn't know they come up around it like that... thought the only way to propagate was layering... hmmmm
Mibus, I don't know what it is but I like those leaves and would be interested in trading for one. I will have other things up soon, I promise.
i found this:

yep Tracie that's it ...both links are right ...thought it was but wasn't sure and now after reading again I knwo I have to put them someplace else other then in front of the kitchen window LOL
will get the lil ones dug up and ready for the 11th
thanks!
tracie
Phyllis, please put my name on one of your Mexican hydrangeas too! According to this link, it is very invasive, so it should be right at home here. lol I can plant it with the apple mint. Seriously, it appears to be deer-proof and drought-resistent once established, so I can use it. Gorgeous flowers too! http://www.floridata.com/ref/c/cler_bun.cfm
will do if I counted right there are about 10 lil ones coming up so 6 are taken for sure now and will dig up others if wanted.
But now that I know and will remember what it is I am going to move it to a spot it can spread more to make like a privacy screen LOL

mmmmmm BJ wonder if I can bribe ya into tellin me the secret for one ....hahahahaha..joking ..you got it
me too Phyllis.. Lynea is supposed to be bringing me cashmere bouquet.. to one of the RU's.. wonder if it's the same thing?? Oh well I like invasive..LOL
i saw on plantfiles that they also called in cashmere bouquet.
tracie
yeah Tracie.. that is where I saw it too.. but fragrant flowers.. even though maybe invasive will be fine with me..lol
Becky, would you, please, save a few of the bush okra seeds for me too?
I sure will Patricia... I am saving a bunch of pods..LOL.. If you are like me.. I had to see it to believe it!!
I'd like one please Phyllis....
I'd like to remind you all again that we are doing door prizes. You must bring a prize to get one. Anything is acceptable as long as it is nice, and something you yourself would be proud to get. Crafts, food gifts, bath baskets, seed baskets, whatever you can think of. Can't wait to see you at the RU!
okie dokie can do
uh yeah for sure girls getting the Mexican hydrangeas/Rose Glory Bower, Cashmere Bouquet, Mexicali Rose,
I just dug up the ones asked for and OMG these puppies spread I had more then 10 and the roots run not far under ground and that is where the new shoots come from .....some have roots I wrapped in a circle to get them in the containers LOL
We are moving the main ones tomorrow to a better spot for them to spread out and grow tall like it says they can get up to 6ft tall and at that height they will cover my kitchen window LOL
good idea, Phyllis...
Lynnea.. good.. I am glad it's the same..lol.. I have plenty of room for it to go wild!!
