Paul

Hi Paul, I would love to trade with you. I have very vigorous Charles Grimaldis, that I will be cutting back soon, are you interested? I would love more of anything!! debbie

Hi, you're on my 'trade list', too.
I'll be digging mine up soon and you'll be getting cuttings right after that.
I'm off to shop for potting soil and to look for more containers this am.
'Dumpster-diving' looks pretty good to me at the moment. Lots of folks discard perfectly good pots at this time of year.

Hi there everyone, I only have two little cutting (from a fellow trader), between these cuttings and looking at the pics, they just made me fall in love with them. Would love to get any offerings anyone have. I only have seeds to trade or I will send postage. Thanks Tonia

Tonia, I'll be offering some cuttings for postage or trade when they finish blooming, probably mid October.

I will be offering a few cuttings about the same time as tiG..I will root them before sending them out.

One question I have re: cuttings. How large are your cuttings when you send them? I purchased a "cutting" from Wayside Gardens last growing year (2000) and was extremely disappointed, to say the least. Plant was about 3 inches long and half the diameter of a lead pencil, if that. Nursed it along for a month, was just showing like it might make a leaf, and I looked at it one morning (was fine the night before) and it was split up along the whole length of it like someone took a razor blade and cut it. I was not amused at the size, especially since I paid $10.00 for it and lost it in the end anyway. I should mention that I had the pot in the house, so no question of an animal or something getting at it. My girlfriend also purchased one from Wayside, hers came all moldy and was basically dead when she unpacked it. Bad experience from Wayside and their "cuttings". Now, I realize that all you wonderful, nice brug people wouldn't ever send anything other than a healthy plant, but just wondering as to the size I could expect. :>) All these posts are so interesting. I love it!

I have been sending about 6-10" cuttings. What you got from Wayside was a rip off!!! I usually don't root mine unless I cut them and don't get them sent off right away, like this last week. I do have a few that I'll need to send out that are already rooted soon. Might as well share than keep 3 or 4 of the same thing:) and the good thing is that here, if it doesn't make it, you can get another:)
we're glad to have you here!

This is great,I'm happy we got something going!Debh Id be happy to do the trade with you,anything else besides Grimaldi?
Ladybug,I like your style,I just love finding great garden stuff in the least likely places!What would you like to trade for?
tiG,you didn't say if you wanted the Frosty Pink!
Sandy,very generous of you !
Everybody should list their haves so we can fulfill all of our wants.
This is a great place full of great people!!!!!

paul, you're too sweet!! I have FP, thanks, I'll let you pass this to someone who doesn't. But, ummm, what else ya got;)
We could start a new list of current haves, the old list is probably way out of date by now.

tiG, Can a cutting be sent to someone if it has been in water for a week and has the little white nubbies on it or should it be rooted before being sent?

those are the starts of the roots, and if you carefully pack it, it will probably have a better start than without them. I have gotten them with the nubbies and they all made it. http://home.att.net/~perennials/germ.html this page has great info on how to pack them to send off. It's what I go by.

Thanks tiG, I was given a Frosty Pink and Jutner Orange from Arlene when I had none and have taken two cuttings off of them. I was going to trade with them but I would like to keep the gift of sharing going so if there is someone that doesn't have any Brugs I will give them for postage if they promise to share their cuttings next year with someone else that has none.

Hi all you Brug lovers, I'm a new one too. I purchased a plant recently and it has bloomedand has several more buds. Glory, very generously, sent me some cutting that are doing well, lots of white nubs. Some have already moved to pots. I would be interested in any extra cuttings anyone has. Will SASE or trade for seeds. I would be glad to pass on anything I have success with. Will keep my eye on this post. Thanks. Pam

Good morning.
Dumpster-diving has been postponed for now. While at the nursery yesterday to purchase more soil and stuff I mentioned to the owner that I was going to go looking for some large used pots. She took me by the arm and led me to the "back yard" and proceeded to give me 3 armloads of assorted used pots they had had left from landscaping jobs.
What a nice thing to do, on her part!! Some of these containers had held trees at one time.
pauljr64, I shall have some various Brug cuttings for you and the other Canucks who have offered to swap with me. I keep hoping we'll have a warm spell and maybe I'll get some flowers yet, but.......again, I may be out there some evening with blankets for my babies!!
I think next year there may be Brugs in my front lawn. LOL

I have a Frosty Pink and an unnamed white that I will be cutting down at season's end, if anyone wants cuttings for postage or trade. Also, I would gladly pay postage to get cuttings of anything I don't have---which is a pretty big list, since it includes everything BUT the above-mentioned, and Chas. Grimaldi, Versicolors White, Pink, and Peach, and Jean Pasco. If anyone is cutting back a 'Species', I will gladly pay postage AND send you something in trade, if you will ROOT one for me! They don't seem to like me; I've tried two different sets of cuttings this summer and haven't rooted one yet.

Judith,
I have a species rooted you can have for postage.

Email me and we can discuss others you don't have.

Gloria

Paul, you've got mail
Liz

Next year i hope to get in on the flurry of this action iof trading cuttings.
My babies from Valley Grow are growing well, as are the cuttings and plants I received from Brugcrazy.
Between them and my own cuttings I have almost 30 Brugs to overwinter so cross your fingers please.
I have read back in the posts but can not find the one on Sanguinia cuttings. Someone help me, is it one that does better placed in soil rather than water?

All I have is the peachy-yellow brug, 4 of them! I would take cuttings of anything anyone would want to part with, I have nothing to trade, so would send pstg. I have given cuttings of my own to people this year (first time I rooted cuttings), so would pass any cuttings on to folks here to share the wealth. Like Judith, I would prefer the cuttings to be rooted, even slightly, as I feel it gives them a better chance. But, you folks know best, I will defer to your superiour knowledge in this area. :>) Hoping to hear from any of you soon that would send me some.

Anna,
check your email...I emailed you yesterday.

Gloria

This is for you RA,I can send you cuttings of Frosty Pink and Insignis Pink to build up your collection,let me know soon,the leaves are yellowing fom the cooler weather and it is soon time to chop them up!!
Paul

RA - here's the sanguinea thread. http://davesgarden.com/showthread/56130.html

Paul, I have the 2 CG's and one unnamed single white. I too will be chopping them up soon as the eves are getting colddddd. I have had trouble lately with the wind knocking them over in their pots - thus the rooted cuttings available. debbie

Thank you for the link poppysue. That was the one I was looking for. :-)

Hi all,
I have a double white cutting that has just rooted. it took a very long time to get it rooted. I would be willing to trade this cutting for a frosty pink or what ever anybody is willing to do. By the way ....I'm the proud mommy of a HG now!! YIPEE...When it gets bigger I will be happy to share with people!

Deb,
Congrats!!!!

Deb, I'll give you a half-dozen Frosty Pink cuttings for it! I'll even root them first, if you like.

Jimminy crickets,
Is that for Double white Candida species?

Yeah, what are you talking about? The double white? LOL

Hey Jude!
I have a peach one about to bloom and is about 7-8 ft tall I could swap cuttings with you later! I'll send a pic of it to you when it blooms...they are beginning to open today!

Let me know!
Reb
