Just finished up Houseplant Swap III and it was a wonderful swap for all involved. I have decided to host round III. I will again take names, addresses and list of your haves/wants. Please note that if you list rare or expensive plants you most likely will not receive them. Please do not expect to. I will try to match everyone up with at least one plant on their list. However sometimes this is not possible, so please be open to new ideas as well.
Rules are listed below.
1. Do not sign up if you only want free plants, I will send you some free plants if you just ask.
2. Minimum number of cuttings/plugs/starts/plants is 4 (this will allow some newbies to join as well) - you may send extras, small gifts if you want, this is completely optional and not a requirement. If you do send extra, please do not be upset if you don't receive extra in return from your buddy.
3. Sign ups will runs until June 19th (may extend if needed)
4. Mailing date will be July 10th - can mail sooner if you want to. Just make sure ok with your buddy.
5. Post to forum when you pkg is mailed and when you receive.
If you have any questions that are not answered above, please dmail me. Thanks and hope to host another wonderful trade. Round 1 we had 13 buddies, round 2 we had 12. Hope to see another good turn out. Lets go for 14 this tie. The more the merrier.

Sorry everyone due a overloaded week I have not gotten buddies assigned. I am leaving at 9 am for a mini vacation weekend. I will get these assigned by 4th for sure. Sorry again. We can move the mailing date to the 17th due to late assignment date.
Again I apologize, have a great 4th.
snboyken,
That is fine, it just gives us more time to get our plants rooted and things.
Have a great weekend and 4th
Char
yes i agree with char i am still rooting one of mine so it just helps us! you enjoy your weeked!!!! we appreciate you doing the plant swap and are on your terms so you take your time : )
kelly
Life is what gets in the way of what you really wanted to do...take your time!
My thanks added to the above folks for running this swap! :D
Marsha.
Sorry, Sharon. You absolutely must come back from your vacation to get our swap names organized!!! lol jk Have fun!!
Sorry everyone,
Seriously, I did not fall off the face of the earth. My husband has been in and out of the hospital and we do not know what is going on. We are a young couple (30's) and are absolutely clueless. We have an autistic child and between the two, it has been all I can do to breathe, let alone go online. I am terribly sorry. If you are praying types, please pray for my husband's health, and also for my patience and sanity!! LOL. I have sent my list to snboyken, but I do realize it is late, you can keep it for next time. I just wanted to apologize for my absence and say that I am sorry to have kept everyone waiting.
Thanks again, and again, and again.
Kelly
PS you may see parts of this note in other places, as I have ALOT of people to apologize to and just dont have the time to keep writing the same thing over and over. Sorry yet again.
Sorry guys I am hoping so badly to get these assigned to day. I am usually a better host than this. just got back to work today and again swamped, I may try to do this during my lunch hour.
kaykay you are in this swap.
Thank you very much. No problem on my part as to the delay.
Kelly
I know most of you will be completely surprised and shocked. I finally got the buddies assigned today. Please dmail me when you have received your buddy. Thanks.
Hey Sharon- just curious when the new mail deadline is?
i think the deadline is tomorrow is that right?
kelly
It was today, however I am going to extend it until 24th. Let me know if thats a problem for anyone. Just have in mail by 24th.
Sharon,
I mailed mine today. Gosh I am kind of worried because it is so darn hot. Hope they get there okay.
i mailed mine today as well. i sure hope like makshi they do okay. it is near 100 here!
kelly
Kelly,
We may have be getting and giving green mush. It is going to be over 100 here today also. I am not going out until it changes for the better.
diane i went to town today with the kids and our jeeps air doesn't work boy was it hot! we were so ready to get home. try and stay cool : )
kelly
You can post pone mailing if you contact your buddy. I haven't even gotten mine together and the weather next week is suppose to cool off to 86 - yes cool compared to 95-97 range this week.
I hope noone gets mush.............
Sharon,
I am like you and have not even got them together. I am going to wait for next week when the temp is going down. I will let you know!!
Kelly
how do we know who is sending to us? i sure think we should dmail our buddies when package is mailed so it wont have to sit in sun all day. i let my buddy know this morning to expect hers wednesday.
kelly
Well, if mine gets fried I will have to get something else together and try rooting and keeping fingers crossed.
I received two pkgs this week ( not from this swap) that were received in good condition. The papertowel on both was still moist. Hopefully any mailed will be ok as well.
Please be sure to post when you mail/receive you pkg so I can update my list.
Have a great day and stay cool.
Mine got where it was going and it was lucky that any make it alive. It was 110 where they went. Only one expired. :(
I can replace the expired plant, sorry it didn't make it. Depending on where they are going the temps could be high. It has been 97-99 here this week. Mine also go to a po so they inside air conditioned during the day.
I will mark that your buddy received. If anyone wants to wait to ship that is fine with me, just let you buddy know either way, some have been off on vacation when pkgs were delivered. Certianly wouldn't want that in this heat.
Here is a pic of my wonderful houseplants that lovesdaylillies sent..I love them and did not have any of them.
Thank you so much for them, kelly I love them.
Char
char you are welcome! i am glad they made it. there are 3 different types of kalanchoe mother of thousands. i didn't know if you could read the bags...my marker played out lol. the other is golden rattail cactus and strawberry begonia. hope they do great for you! all of the kalanchoes of mine are always loaded with babies : )
kelly
Makshi already posted that I received my package from her, but I wanted to give a public thank you...her box to me was filled with wonderful goodies.
I especially appreciated the hoyas and the birds nest sans.
Thank you Diane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
