Offers and Requests for Mount Bethel Swap June 5th 2010

HollyAnn,

Would you still have a Campanula Pink Octopus available? Thanks, Jessica (Gardadore)

Yes, I do. I may have a problem though, Ric and I are still in Fl. will not be leaving until Wednesday at the earliest. There is a chance that we may not leave until later in the week or maybe longer. At this point I'm not entirely sure that I we will make the swap. I have friends that are recent DG members that have been thinking about coming up to the swap and maybe we can send plants with them if we can't make it. Right now it is a take it day to day and see how things go. Holly

Gardadore -

I have some pink octopus campanula that I can offer - if anybody else is interested in this as well, I can extend the offer to them as well.

wind

may i have a pineapple sage and a pink cleome?

thanks

teri

Thanks Wind. If Holly doesn't have any more I would be happy to accept your offer!

Hello all, sorry to say that we will not make the swap this weekend. We are still in Fl. and will be here for a few more days. Just wanted to let you know that I won't be able to send my plants to the swap and those of you who have so generously offered me plants should pass them on to other takers. Looking forward to pictures. Holly

Flowerjen - do you have any of the Colrain Red Monarda left? If so, I would love to have some please.

Gardadore - would you have any of the white lupins left and the Knautia Macedonia? I would love to have some of that as well please.

Lori - if any of your Forget Me Nots are left, I would like some of those too please.

I will update my lists tonight - the last couple of weeks have been difficult - work keeps sending me to Boston....

P.S. - I did see that Kat had some requests and I will be adding her requests to my lists as well.

Gotcha Carolyn.

Flowerjen-

Thanks

Oh gosh, Carolyn I feel horrible.... I went to go check on the Monarda and they were diseased. I had to yank them all up and throw them away.

Sorry!!!!!

Carolyn22,
Knautia Macedonica is no problem except that having to pull a fresh one tomorrow may mean that it will not have recovered transplanting by Sat. It may look limp but will recover, guaranteed!

My lupines are all seedlings which emerge next to the big adults. Since my colors are so mixed there is no guarantee that what I dig up will be a white! Best is for me to collect seeds and send them to you. Even then one cannot be sure that the colors will come true because they do cross pollinate a bit. In recent years I have tried to cut off the purple and not let it go to seed so much but still I have purple, pinks, reds, white and some in-between all blooming together! Just trying to get non-purple is a challenge - don't think I can isolate a white seedling - I tried earlier with no success.

Flowerjen - totally understand, it is ok.

Gardadore - the limp Knautia is fine, it will come back and the lupine seeds are ok too. I have been trying to get just some plain white ones and it is apparently not a common color as fas as lupines are concerned.

I pulled some things last night and I am hoping they recover by Saturday.

Thank you both.

i have given up trying to pot up and dig up any more stuff. if anyone wants a clump of monarda or any cuttings, there will be plent of help to get it done tomorrow. i will rest this wrist today so that the angry swelling might lessen.

can't wait to see everyone tomorrow!!

sorry to say with puppy ville... I might not be able to stay long... but I will try and come and drop my plants off for you guys

come in time for lunch (about 1). at least you can take a doggy bag home if you can't stay to eat here. how are lily's puppies?
