Does anyone have Yellow Foxtail Grass or Ruby Wedding Masterwort? If so you could look at my list (mums and asters "Mary Stoker" are gone) as most everything is out from snow. Just two corners, well, three corners still under snow?? lol. I keep shoveling.
CLOSED: DJ'S " APRIL " PERENNIAL SWAP SIGN UP
Kathy your box is on the way..... I didn't have many of the plants you like so I hope what I sent will work.
Anita, it went out yesterday, you should have it by Friday.
Hope you have a good trip!
Sorry I can't help you with those, Mary. Geez girl, when will you ever thaw out?
Wow Anita, have a fabulous time! Tell us all about it when you get back.....or not. lol
LoL it should be an interesting trip.
Thanks Linda I will be looking for it.
Yeah !!!! A box of goodies on the way, I'll keep an eye out for it, thanks! Wow, spent the last 3 days weeding the main border and not even done yet, whew! Think I'm ready for bed, lol. 'Spose to rain for a couple of days, I'm ready.
Here's a funny true story. A friend of mine won a long week-end trip for two to Vegas last year (one of those deals to tour a timeshare property) and took her sister. The last night they were there, just getting ready for bed around 10 o'clock, my girlfriend was doing some last minute packing and did a double-take when she noticed their return flight was at 12:30.......AM, not the next PM as they both had thought. That really sent them into a frenzy packing their bags, checking out of the Luxor, and a hurried cab ride to the airport where they arrived with only a few minutes to spare!
Oh my, that sounds like something I would do!!!!!!
My goodness! That would send me into a frenzy! I have had my bags packed for two weeks. I'm still packing and unpacking. LoL
I start out in advance but seem to end up behind....how does that happen....?
Linda, your box came yesterday! That shipping was super fast. You mailed out on Wednesday, right? I will have to pick the box up from he PO today. Hopefully I can post pictures in the morning.
I mailed it out Tuesday, so glad it is there! Hope everything made it OK?
I'm sure everything will be fine. My mailman always delivers at 1:30 but yesterday he didn't so I missed him. I'll be at the post office today with bells on!
Got a box on it's way home from the post office, yipeeee. Will let you know later, off to pick up the kids after school.
Ladies who I sent Bleeding heart to, I hope they do as well for you as they do me. :)

Anita, did you get your box?
Yes Ms Linda I got my box last night. Thank you thank you thank you! You seem to know the types of plants I love. I got 4 diiferent varities if sedum, a gerbera and african daisy and a bromliad. Love them all but the purple sedum has to be my favorite already.

Very nice gathering of plants, LK. Love the one in the front that looks like little beans. Anita, how much of your plant budget have you blown in Vegas so far 0:) It's been so long since I gambled it was with a one-arm bandit playing quarters in Reno, eons ago.

Last month, I mailed the plants I had earmarked for Kris had she been able to attend our June RU. Mailed and received in the nick of time before her move.
I have LOV to send her but wont get to it for a bit (and for you others I was going to send to). I have pneumonia :( and am down for the count...
You need to be in bed, getting lots of rest! Hope your feeling better soon!
Take care minni. Pneumonia in the summertime is the worst! Rest, rest, rest but don't lie flat too long or the fluids will settle.
yah Crit, I cant. :( Im having a garage sale this weekend (yesterday through tomorrow). Thankfully mom is here to help me out.
Never had it before...never want it again!
I'm Going to mark this as closed but there is still one more to receive a box & it will arrive soon :)

MAY SWAP

Today I received my box from jsxtiger. A commercial box from Michigan Bulb held a package of 3 assorted Tricyrtis as well as Oenothera missouriensis, Aeonium 'Kiwi' and a Metasequoia. An over zealous lawn helper killed my Metasequoia a few years ago, so now I can replace it.
Thank you very much, JSX! I will get these planted tomorrow.
Alana
Great box Alana!!!! Hope that tree grows fast for you...
poisondartfrog, i wholeheartedly apologiz for the box's lateness, please forgive an overworked, unpaid ol lady!
HEHE Jsx That sounds Like Me Now we can all relate to that :) this poor ole lady has her feet in some Dish water Bath :) hehe an old friend told me that for years she soaks her feet in DAWN Dish soap with a dash of bleach & its taken the stinging out of my feet so i hope it works has anyone else tried it ????
great box from everyone thank you all .
susie
Try Epsom salt Susie!
Thanks for the great swap!
I wanted to share this photo of a plant jsxtiger sent to me for this swap. "Purple People Eater" Datura has the largest bloom I have ever had on Datura metel, rivaling the size of Brugmansia. The bloom is 8-10 inches tall.
Here she is:
Oh how pretty Hope you can get some seeds from it :) I planted datura seeds & Nothing has grew .but always willing to try again :)
ty for sharing
I planted some Datura Devils trumpet last year that were purple like that. They were sure pretty. Had a double yellow too but got no babies from them this spring. I have some seed pods, but don't knoe if they are viable. Need to check my stash and see if I have anymore.
Wow I have some white datura from seeds passed down many years from a plant my mother got from a friend in Florida, sentimental but a plain white variety. If anyone ever has my name in a swap this fall or spring and can get their hands in those purple datura seeds you know what you can send me.
Hey Deejay...I have seed from Dautra metaloides which is a white variety, gets to 4', flowers are fragrant and will reseed in the garden if allowed. Wasn't sure they were going to do anything this year with as dry as it had been, but could include a baby for you. They are only an annual but like I say they can reseed if allowed. Also on the trade I owe you, one of the special plants I had dug and potted, has now sprouted and sending up leaves (Crambe cordifolia), got to get into the mail soon tho as the leaves will get HUGE!!!!! Now I know it's alive and will survive for you I will be working on that box along with 2? others, Geez, I sure hope I get caught up or my name will end up as mud.....Gosh maybe I should allow you to, that would probably mean I got Rain!!! LOL.....
sounds great kathy I'll be here just waiten for cooler weather so i can get them right into the ground :)
