I scored huge at my local farmer's market this afternoon - a local gardener had apparently donated 3 giant bags of divided Milk & Wine Crinum lilies & dwarf white spider lilies and they were selling them at crazy cheap prices to raise funds for our local Green-Awareness farmer's market. I bought a large amount and even with planting and sharing few with my mother, I've got more than I probably should plant, especially since I'm going to be dividing my existing 3 Crinum lily plants.
Only thing - I haven't seen them bloom and am taking the word of the seller at the market. He specifically named the Crinum as milk and wine, but named the white as a dwarf white spider lily. Thus, I am looking to trade several plants of both, and possibly an Amaryllis of unknown cultivar or color (I also hit gold at an estate sale a few days ago and ended up with about 10 plants, but again haven't seem bloom).
I'm open to any perennials (preferably cuttings, infant plants/rooted cuttings, bulbs or rhizomes) that will grow in my region but would specifically love:
Blue Hibiscus or the tropical red & orange variety
Peony (glutton for punishment, I know - they probably won't survive, but I want to try)
Climbing Rose (preferably the blue/violet, although it needs to work in my climate)
Hosta
Calla lilies (I have pink, crystal blush & almost black - looking for more colors)
Day lilies
Oriental Lilies
Amaryllis - prefer named cultivars
Bleeding heart
Cotton
American Lily of the Valley
Gayfeather
