I found you!


I have picked out all the plants for my swap buddy,, but will not dig and mail until the 21st.

My box was mailed today! Trying to get ahead before they start the addition! After that, I may not have the time (or money LOL) to do swaps!

I was going to mail tomorrow, but I'm fixing a flub that I made between the baby swap and another one elsewhere, so I will shoot for Thursday. With luck, my receiver will have on Saturday.
It's so hot! 91 yesterday, 88 today. Plants may need sunscreen even inside their boxes.

I Heard that you can get the $1.store ICE PACKs & it would help keep things cool. Just a thought.
been another long day lots to get done but we have storms moving in :) so i might get a couple days of rest if they come in :)))
Alana I thought only i made those mistakes :)))

I am sooo tired and so busy!!

I got tons done today. Got more to do tomorrow. I hope I can get it all done by Friday..sigh.

to late, too late. I feel like the mad Hatter. lost you all & posted on old thread. If anyone else was too late or just wants to do a trade with me, I have some wonderful shade to mostly shade wildflowers almost ready to go.
Here is my old post if anyone is interested: May Apples are up, LOTS of them. don't remember who wanted any. Also Sweet shrub Carolina allspice volunteer babies & some seed pods left. Lots of 1' Sparkleberry volunteers!4'oclocks. 1 Maidenhair fern.

I would LOVE a Flame azalea. Lilies, caladium. Those tall flowers... wallflowers My Gma used to call them.

Hi Birdie I wondered what happen to you Glad you found us , Maybe you can Join us next month & also maybe someone here might be able to take on another trade :) I have my
limit for this month :) .

I Have to go to town this morning so you all have a great day will check back at noon if i can . :)

I got my box!!

Alikat set me tons of stuff perfect for my garden!

I received
Blue cardinal flower
Rose campions
Lilacs
Purple and white iris for my driveway!!!
Obediant plant
Red emperor sedum
Angelina sedum
Salvia
Coral bells
Purple cone flower
Yellow loosestrife
Orange daylily
Bee balm pink?
And gladiolus bulbs!!

I am in awe over everything in this over packed box!!!

More pictures!! And look at the poor box.,.,

Everything was nice and moist, I have already potted up most of them,, the ones for the driveway and the hosta beds will be planted tonight. The potted ones will go in the new beds being put in next week.

I beez a very happy Elfie. ;)

Alikat you done real good. Very good Kat!!

Kriss How do you rate I Believe you hit a gold mind again & also was you not the 1st to post last Month ????

Yippee skippee! I have a box from FLSunshinegal! As soon as I get squared away I'm going to open it up. I'll be back later with photos.

Elfie, you hit the jackpot! Wow! Wish I could grow lilacs here in the Deep South!

I loved the plants in my box! Thank you so much, FLSunshinegal.
Everything is something I like.
2 aquatic Cannas! I love them. I can't wait to place them this weekend.
Coleus, Burgundy Wedding Train
3 other different patterned and colored Coleus, none like the ones I have collected this year so far.
A red Mandevilla, I don't have a red one. Love it!
A yellow/orange Lantana, a favorite plant.
Lance Whorton Caladium tubers=I don't have this cultivar-yippee!
Red Crocosmia corms
Cute Lady Bug Plant Clips

I am very very very very happy with my box.

Oh yall got some killer boxes! Way to go senders, so generous! Happy planting ladies! :D

So glad you like everything poisindartfrog! They don't look like they took the shipping too bad, a few crunched leaves here or there, but all are fast growers so I'm sure they'll do great for you. I was a little worried, lol! Plus, any coleus branches that got damaged will root really easily so that's a plus. That Lantana actually gets solid lavender blooms, (it just had a generic Lantana tag on it.), thought you might like something different than the standard yellow/orange. :). Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy them all! :)

I was first last month! And first again this month. Guess I beez a good Elfie??

Nice Box,,, PDF,!!

Lilacs are new to me. I sure hope they will grow here. I can actually grow more plants that tolerate cold here.. But it means I have to give up tropicals until the green house/ Florida room gets built,,sigh,,

I am very, very, very happy with my box..

Elfie -- yea - you got your box but MAN they smashed it to bits! I hope you didn't lose any bulbs! I tossed those in loose! I know those babies will love your house!

I am very jealous of all of you with flowers already blooming! I finally have daffs up now! I got some primrose - finally - and the crocus are still in bloom!

PDF -- you got a great box too! FUN TIMES!

birdie blue
i can trade with you....
check out my haves....and see if there's anything you're hoping for that I have....
Candi/Alikat

Look at my bloom for the day!! Black Iris. I got these in a trade 4 years ago and with all the moves it never bloomed. Hopefully I can share this next year!

Awesome boxes! You hit the jackpot!

GM all just popping in for a sec busy day here getting my new rain gutters put on had to much rain yesterday to get them on so i hope to beat the rain today :)

Oh My GOSH You Ladies have some great boxes can hardly wait till the others arrive .

will try to get back in later today .

Mine went out today. I made a mistake on one of the labels. I had two similar plants ready to go and only one would fit. I put the wrong tag on it. I will correct that once it lands.
I hope it arrives with most if not all in good shape.
Alana

Hope my box isn't due here yet... I got 2 1/2" of snow overnight and more is due on Mother's Day...ICKKKKKKK!

Amanda, you are so very, very welcome! I can pack a box! I used to sell on Ebay and got lots of practice! LOL... I thought it was a treat to get your name again! And I'm so excited you have a piece of my Granny's rose. My sister rooted some about 30 years ago from the original plant. It's a good thing because after Granny passed away, my uncle removed every plant she had in the yard! The only things we have left are pieces and babies my mom, my aunt, and my sister got before she passed!
Can't wait to get my box! I'm so excited! There are so many beautiful plants beings sent... and such a variety!
Love you all, Julie ♥
