Hiya everyone!
Please set up trades and post your lists of what you'll have to trade in this thread. I'll post my complete list later today. We're getting closer to the date and thought it might help get the ball rolling to post a thread.
best,
don
Hi Dr. Don
What do you trade, seeds or plants?
BTW, everything seems to be growing pretty good. Thanks again!
kanita
hiya kanita,
Good news about your plot!...woohoo!
I trade plants, seeds, doggies, horses....lol. Nope I trade both plants and seeds and will have some very cool herbs you may be interested in as well as some other veggie-type stuff you might be interested in. Our veggie plot here is now fully planted finally and it takes up more space than last year...so it should be fun walking through the veggie gardens as well as the ornamentals. Don't forget your harvest basket as there is bound to be some ripe stuff by the day of the RoundUp. Soon, as Donna (SoCal) and frogsrus (Janice) get to doing their thing on these threads you'll see lots of activity regarding trades of stuff that would whet anyone's whistle....
best to you,
don
Thanks. Thats great, I'll get me list together.
kanita
My son has a myriad of different kinds of geraniums at his house in West Hills. Does this sound like something someone would be interested in? I can bring the Lycoris again this year...LOL If anyone is interested in either of these let me know...Thanks,
Chuck
I have a number of things to bring to the RU, but don't know if there's any interest in these two....Centranthus Ruber (if you want it you've probably already got it, and if you've got it you surely won't run out) and Eucalyptus Citriodora, try to let me know if you have interest in either, otherwise I have a friend coming by next week and will pass them all on to her. I'm in a "clearing out" frame of mind. We keep thinking about moving out of state and everytime we think of moving I panic and start taking cuttings and divisions, and then end up with a lot of stuff sitting around getting in my way. And to Chuck, I for one am always interested in geraniums. I'll make counts tomorrow of what I have available and list them for takers. Fortunately I have things already rooted and ready to go, so much easier!

Don, I'm interested in a cutting of salvia involucrata. Thanks much
Sherry
This message was edited May 12, 2006 3:00 PM
hiya wcgypsy,
Done! I'll make a cutting today and get it started.
best,
don
I do not want to be around to see what happens when you tell Pam you traded one of her babies for a plant!!
Thanks Sherry! I'll take 3 for the community garden area, which looks pretty sparse right now. Plus, others might want some as well.
kanita
hiya frogsrus,
lol, what she doesn't know won't hurt her...*snicker*
I'll trade any horse on this ranch for a true blue rose, a true black orchid or an automatic industrial strength pooper scooper...lol. Since none of those things exist, I'm guessing Pam is safe from my wheelings and dealings this season...lol.
Hope you're bringing your horse addict as the trainers may have something fun for her to do.
best,
don

Oh, my! I'll get my list started right away, but as I'm just getting ready to divey up and transplant, I have about 20 anaheim chiles and prolly 10 extra mixed hot peppers (I don't know which plants are which yet, but among them are: hot cherry, long cayenne, hungarian wax and jalapeno. Let me know!
My horse addict would hang my hide on the barn if she could not come this year.
We were out starting a few things this am. An oppossum took out a large branch of my Butterfly brug in its quest for snails, frogs, and other goodies. I have plenty. The darned critter did not have to be so destructive in its hunt for food. So... plenty of that to share,even after all other trades are sent out. I will get my list together too.
Don:
Daresay that both Blooms and I would like Salvia nubicola (2 cuttings). The rest are sadly too big for me and too tender for her.
Sherry:
Again speaking for both Blooms and self: love to try the S.viridis and C.ruber... that's two each -- we live 700 miles apart!
Blooms and I will bring the following:
. Plants:
Leonotis menthifolia (several! of varying sizes) (at least on to Corona~Barb)
Cuphea hyssopifolia, Mexican heather (2 or 3, small)
Pelargonium crispum, Lemon geranium (several-to-many!)
Passiflora vitifolia (one to Sherry, one to Donna, one to Janice, and one more available) --
. This is a vigorous red-flowering passionvine that attracts Gulf Frittilaries but does not nourish their cats
. Would recommend only if you have other passionvines that can provide food for the cats, then plant together
Salvia cacaliifolia... (largest one to Corona~Barb, another to Kathleen, others available!)
Same for big coral-flowered Salvia x jamensis that I thought was Sierra San Antonio (Corona~Barb, taking back-up offers for babies)
. (pics of Sierra San Antonio all show light peach or variegated flowers, this is HOT CORAL-ORANGE)
. Seeds
Nigella, Love-In-A-Mist (selected from blue-flowering plants)
Lychnis coronaria, Rose campion...
. this is a biennial -- leaves like lamb's ears the first year, spikes with hot magenta flowers the second
Leonotis menthifolia
Maybe more that I've forgotten. Have mini-van so will bring these regardless, but if you want something FOR SURE, speak now and I will put your name on it.
~'spin!~

hiya crystalspin,
Done!
2 Salvia nubicolas
Please let Blooms know that I'm germinating some rock garden perennials like Draba...etc. I don't know if they'll take, but if they do I'll hang on to some stuff for her altitude. I wanted to try a few alpines from seed this year and so it goes...lol.
Hi 'spin, Blooms,
It's a done deal for both of you for the salvia viridis and the centranthus.
'spin, I would really like the passiflora if possible, will you have people fighting over it?
Sherry
Only the uninformed! (Hee hee) -- this plant will eat your house, you know. Wish I'd known about it when we lived it Anaheim Hills with a big "fire-break" hill behind us. Your name it on it, or on the largest one if the roots (left when Naien/Scott took the main plant last year) have actually made more than one plant!
~'spin!~
Addendum:
I can supply starts of the groundcover Polygonum capitum, a type of knotweed known as "Pink Clover Flower".
It has its uses.
City of Fullerton includes it in their drought-resistant list... given a little water such as has fallen from our skies this spring, it covers pretty thoroughly with its reddish and green inch+ pointy leaves and little 1/2" round pink flowers. It will even extend a mat of leaves and flowers over a footstone or the manhole-cover to your water/cable.
Left unwatered in the sun, that mat gets pretty stringy/leggy looking by July or August. Not hard to pull, but hard to get rid of when established (breaks off under ground and comes back from any-and-every node). I don't hate it, but I do laugh to think I once petitioned Armstrongs to get me a flat! (at another house, it came with this one)
LMK, ~'spin!~
Here it is, "mulching" between the azaleas
And here, laying entirely over pavers, along with the Lotus "Parrot Beaks". Everything inside the arbor's feet is pavers with plants LAYING OVER.
~'spin!~
Helps if you attach the photo-link the first time; can't add with the Edit function!
Crystalspin,
Thank you very much. I love all passifloras, think it stems from a very young childhood memory of a white gazebo we had with passiflora climbing over; it stayed in the back of my mind waiting to be awakened by seeing one on a neighbors fence and remembering the flowers. This was 46 (oh my gosh!) years ago and I think that and having lemon grass tea in Hawaii were the two things that made me realize that what I wanted to do was grow things! And, I'm used to things that take over, I have Blue Dawn perennial morning glory everywhere, it's worth it to me!

Hi Don,
Can you put me down for Lavandula stoechas and California poppy seeds, please?

I haven't started the geraniums yet but I have two lonicera semp. 'Sulphurea' that were extra from Spring planting. I
also have a small Aloe vera. If there is more demand, I will gladly dig up all my aloe vera and eilther give it or trade it. I also have two small succulents that I don't know what they are. I am going to take a photo as soon as my youngest daughter gives me my camera back (s/b Monday). I will then place the photo on the Plant ID forum. I am going to my son's house on Monday also. I will try to get as many colors of geraniums as I can. He may also have some plants that I can trade. And, of course, the lycoris is thriving again this year.
I can hardly wait for July 8th. My wife (Loida) is excited about it too.
Take care,
Chuck
WOW!
I'd better find more to trade, I see Don's list and Frogsrus' list and I get greedy, will see if I can find more stuff here to barter with.......
Sherry

Sherry, please, just tell us what you want. I spent today taking plants OUT of the garden. I had not realized that French lavender could get 5 1/2 feet tall. You do not necessarily have to trade. Folks will let you know when they have something that is for trade only.
Janice
Frogs, thank you, that's very generous. I would very much like a cutting of each of the plectranthus, the only one I have now is argentea. If I only get one of the plectranthus I'd be just as happy!
Sherry
Be very very careful. I too only had one plec at one time lol! I have more than listed but keep small plants only. Big wooly is almost 6 feet and my favorite. It is spectacular when it flowers.
Oh Frogs, Surely we've all been down this path. I've finally learned a good deal of restraint at this point in my life. I think I have about 20 roses and I won't let myself even consider anymore, period! But every now and then that little whisper passes through on the breeze.."I could collect roses...I could collect iris..."
Sherry
I anyone wants unnamed irises, please let me know. I'm trying to rid my garden of all the unnamed ones...there are mostly purple and a few white. I'll bring plenty if anyone is interested. I will probably have some leftovers from my customers orders so those will be named and marked. I could bring a great big box of named and unnamed and you all could just pick and choose!
Weegy 12
I do, I do! Somebody had better want some of my stuff soon, I can't just take and not give!! Were you the one whispering in my ear, "you could collect iris"?
Sherry
hiya weegy12,
Are we trading stapelias? I'd love it if you dmail me with some details on what Iris you've got at the nursery these days as I've still got that same idea about them I shared with you last year.
best,
don
Sherry, you heard me???? And please take! I'll have plenty!
Don, will e-mail you info this evening, we're off to a birthday party! About how many are you thinking of starting with? You could come and see the garden before the blooms go bye bye, probably one more week of blooms and then that's it except for the trusty rebloomers! You're welcome anytime.
Thanks, Don! Looking forward to it.
Kathleen
Weegy12,
I keep forgetting to respond to your Iris post. I am also interested in getting two or three bulbs (is that what they call them?) of Iris. It doesn't matter if they are unnamed or not.
Thanks,
Chuck
