I am now taking 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.
****If you wish to join please dmail me your name, addy, list of what you have to swap and what you would like to receive from the swap. - to expedite signups, please included all information on one dmail, I will then use that dmail to send your buddy. This is very important on make this go faster, everything this way is one dmail. I will try to make sure you have a new buddy, this was something I didn't do until late last year however will try to accommodate this feature earlier.
Rules are listed below.
1. Do not sign up if you only want free plants, this is a swap not a give away.
2. Minimum number of cuttings/plugs/starts/plants is 4, however these should be different plants, not 4 of the same (the smaller number 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 May 10th.
4. Mail by date is May 22nd or you 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.
6. If you have not sent a pkg from a previous swap, I will hold your info until that swap is complete before adding to the list.
You may sign up more than once if you so wish, it it get to big fo rme to handle I reserve the right to stop this at any time. I do include my disabled sister in the swaps, if anyone has a probelm with this as she is not a member I will remove her. I do usually take any who sign up late if I can. This way to include all I can in these swaps.
Please be open to the same old common plants, you can always use then in trading, this way it allows some newbies to be involved.
CLEAR AS MUD I HOPE!!! Dmail me any questions, comments, suggestions or concerns. I also do my best to make sure everyone gets a box even I or another generous donor has to make the box to send.

Hi,
Mine went out today and I am sorry I forgot to put in a note... I am brain dead.
Susan
Judy,
Your package is on the way.
The DC# is 0306 2400 0000 7727 1012
You pay more postage and the mail gets slower. I get really tired of it myself.
Ok, My boxes have not went out, sorry all, I will have them out on the 29th, as now I don't want them to be in PO on Holiday.
If you have not receied or mailed your box, please let me know. I will send any boxes I need to make up at the same time.
For the record I am sending to Makshi and my sister is sending to Eufaula, I am sorry they are late, Seems to happen to me a lot lately. However Please rest assured you will get boxes. I promise.
Hope you all are enjoying these swaps. I enjoying organizing and just love getting plants.
Hey All , I mailed my box to SNBoyken on the 15th, I still havent heard from anyone! I hope it made it to her! I know with the heat during the day , if the plants are still in the PO ,or in route they probably didnt make the trip! I packed them in zip locks with water crystals, thinking they would take only a couple of days to arrive! Now Im worried that the heat may have cooked them.
Oh my Sharon, you were typing while I was typing!!!! Oh I do feel much better now! I cant wait to get your Sisters package! Yaaaaaay!!!!
Yes I received your lovely box, I forgot to post that in the above and My sister received from Buttoneer as well.
I love those water crystals, I had never seen them before, all the plants look great, I hope to get the potted Thursday/Saturday. Have company coming for the weekend so I have just about have all my other work done.
Hi Susan51,
thank you very much for
the plants.
Susan send me a package
with some wonderful plants.
I received Jade, Haworthia, and
two more plants that I'm not sure
of the name.
I would like to post pictures,
but at this time I'm not able to.
Once again Susan Thank you
Gale
If mine has not arrived at its new home yet I am afraid they are probably dead. I mailed them last Fri. so that has been a week.
I mailed mine yesterday so hopefully they will get there tomorrow.
Makshi, I am sure your buddy got your plants..and just did not have time to post yet.
Char
Im still waiting on pins and Needles!!!!! The mail doesnt run until after 2:00, maybe I should take the lawn chair and a pair of sunglasses down to the Highway and sit by the mailbox!!! Hmmmm, the flower bed could use some weeding!!!!
Come on Snailmail!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!
Char,On vacation this week so just a quick note to let you know the box arrived today.Camera is on the outs so I can't post a pic right now but hopefully will have it back up and working soon.Thank You for the nice healthy starts. : )
Nancy
Diane,
Mine did arrive at my house alive... I am so sorry... Allot of reasons why I have not been on but not enough time to go into it... :-( I do know what some are but what is the big cactus??? The bugger stabed me when I unwraped it..LOL Pay back for making you wait to hear from me... I loved all you sent and cant thank you enough... Also where were the steaks that they said were in the box???? hahahahah
Hugs,
Susan
Susan,
I ate the steaks so I could use the box for your plants. :) The cactus is a madagascar palm (think I spelled it right). It can get really tall and it will get leaves also. Mine doesn't seem to like the direct sun. You can play with where to sit it.
Regards,
Diane
PS Hope things a getting calmer for you.
Thanks Diane, Seems like everytime I think things are calming down something else hits.. but I am really not complaining, ok so I am but not to much for there are people with allot worse things then my poor things ....LOL Oh no steaks, darn it...LOLOLOL
Sue
Susan,
I certainly won't be having anymore of them because these were a gift . I wouldn't buy them myself because I think they are high priced and not as good as the price. :)
