East Texas Ru May 16

Beck, That's a Justica carnea/Jacobinia plant. It will flower all season long. I've had mine for about ten years.

catlady, do you have some to share? It is really quite beautiful.
Charlene

I don't have any now charlene because it's just coming out of the GH. If you remind me inthe fall I will try to root you one or bring you some cutings to the Fall RU. It is beautiful and is the plant responsible for my finding DG. It was one of those impulse buys and I was trying to find out about it. DG came up as one of the references, saw where people were trading seeds and thought that sounds like fun. And of course the rest is history. LOL

Pam.. then i must have gotten it from you! Girl I just love it!! It pulls your eye to it.. that's for sure... is it hardy outside? TY so much!! I think we all have very similar stories for how we found DG!!

Charlene.. I was going to say something quite ugly...( like nanananana).. but i changed my mind..LOLOL.. sorry... you know I am bad

Thanks Ddetex

catlady, just the glads please. Thanks!

Hey Beck, guess what? My varigated Althea is looking good! It was kinda peaked for a while after the other one bit the dust. It is growing a bit and looking like there is a shred of hope for it. If it ever gets enough size on it, I'll get you a start of it, since yours both bit the dust. No nananana here, just the facts mam, just the facts!
Charlene

Catlady, I will have some more bay laurels in the fall hopefully. I am out of them for now. I gave my last one away just last week. I didn't even keep one for myself.

Charlene

Very good Charlene, between the two of us, we ought to be able to remember the bay laurel and jacobinia until fall.

LOL.. Charlene.. you are just a real cutey..lol.. yep mine bit the dust.. I should have written them about it.. but oh well. I bet yours is looking good! facts??...hmmmm are you sure??..LOL

I googled the Jacobinia Plant ... Pam... and it said they were hardy to 7b. I was wondering since you said you were just getting it out of the GH if you plant it in the ground?

Eyes and Pat I am not sure on these black eyed susans I potted up some over the weekend and they have wilted pretty bad ...have them in the shade and moist to keep from cooking them so we will see what happens

beck, I read that also and planted one I had started from a cutting. It didn't come back. Don't know if I didn't mulch it well enough or what, but I'm suppose to be in 8a. Ther mother plant spends her winters in an unheated GH. She stays green and has even bloomed on occasion in there. I haven't had alot of success rooting, but if you want to try, it is best to do it in the spring or fall whenthe temps are cool but not freezing. I have never gotten one to root in the heat.

Pam.. she's still a tiny thing.. well about 18" so i was so surprised to see these weird looking "things" coming from her..LOL.. what a nice surprise on the blooms!I planted her in the ground not knowing what she was, and when she gets larger I'll see about some cuttings. I am 8b/9 depending on whose map you look

I edited my list...

Becky, if you have time, I would love a few cuttings of your "special" hibs.

Charlene

I'm gonna have all my trades, but here's the kick in the rear...some of the rootings look good....some sorry. But, I will be bringing along fresh cuttings, and seeds for those that are struggling. We have had over 20 inches of rain in Grayson County this month, and I am so behind. Somethings are gangbusters and others are saying..."are you kidding, my feets are too wet!" Anywho...don't beat me too badly, am adding the following I dug up today.

Purple Asters (6)
Pink Butterfly Guara (1)
Burgandy Mum (3)
King Gold Canna, lots
Mixed Pink and Purple MG's, Lots

eyes, I would like the Guara

"eyes," I'd love to have a purple aster and a couple of King Gold cannas. And about half the rain you have had recently!

Jeri.. I'd like a purple aster.. please

Trishann, do you still have me down for Pink Dawn canna and a painted terra cotta pot? I have you down for a RubileneXpeanut brug and Pretty Angel pink canna.

Eyes, do you still want Blue Heaven mg seeds? I have managed to harvest five.

Anj you have listed correctly. :) I also wouldn't mind a couple of Business daylilies. I have just started planting lilies in my back yard.

Eyes, I would love some pink mg's if you have extras. If they are mixed up with the purple then send me a mix please. I have light blue ones that came up volunteer. I also have the Heavenly blue for you. I have purples, but I don't know which ones they are yet. I mixed 'em up. The Heavenly blues are coming up where they were last year, so I can pick those out for ya! I made a mess out of tagging some of my seeds. I thought I had it done right, but a very windy storm showed me I didn't have it right at all. LOL

Charlene

Had to share the Heavenly blue with you.
