I was actually going to sell these on craigslist/ebay but figured that since I'd use the money to buy plants anyway, maybe trading would be better....so here goes.
I'm wanting to trade my daughters clothes, mostly dresses by Gymboree in great condition. I think most are 18-24m or 2T. I thought someone may have a daughter or granddaughter that would love these. Also have a couple of 3T boys outfits.
I love love love fragrant plants so they are my first choice but here's a list of what I love...sorry if it's so long.....don't we DGs want everything!!! By the way I’m in Florida 9b.
*Orchids - Cattleya's especially or anything fragrant
*Fragrant Daylilies
*Fragrant Hoya’s (looking for H. motoskei, H. heuschkeliana, H. lacunose, H. bella, H. cummingiana or any others that have a lovely fragrance)
*Sweet Bouvardia (Bouvardia longiflora)
*Mounjean Tea, Bahama Berry (Nashia inaguensis)
*Jamaican Mint Tree (Satureja viminea)
*Curcuma or gingers
*Mints - I've already got a few, but looking for Kentucky (have a small patch but want more), Candy Lime, Sweet Pear, Banana, Lavender, Grapefruit
*Aloysia Virgata (Almond Bush)
*Aglaia Ordorata (Chinese Perfume Tree)
*Dombeya Wallichii (Tropical Hydrangea)
*Tropical Hibiscus - the colors they come up with on the hibiscus forum are amazing
*Buddleja Asiatica - purple/white or pink
*Plumeria cuttings....and you guessed it...fragrant if possible
*Epiphyllum cuttings -I only have Queen of the night & a zig zag one at the moment (anyone have German Empress?)
*Fragrant Rhododendrons
*Fragrant Brugmansia's cuttings
*Fragrant Bearded Iris'
*Clematis
My fingers are crossed.

CLOSED: Trade for Plants: Gymboree Girls Dresses 18-24m / 2T
Ooh... we just got back from dinner with friends and their gorgeous 8 month old daughter... she'll be 2 eventually! LOL. I'll check with them, and I'll see what I've got that you might like. Would you mind waiting for warmer weather to ship? I've got a big pot of Galangal that I know I can get a division from, don't want to promise scented geraniums for sure until I've got them rooted but they're a possibility, and I've got a bunch of different mints in pots ("fancy" hybrids) that should be putting up new growth in a couple of months. Would creeping thyme do well for you? I'll have to check the zone hardiness on them and see if any of my extra Chocolate Daisies (Berlandiera lyrata) made it through the winter. I think you're probably in too warm a zone for oriental lilies...
If somebody else can send you more of what you're looking for, don't wait on me... but I figured I'd at least let you know I was trying to think of what might tempt you!
Oh gosh, and while I'm typing there you go putting up lovely pics!
:-)
Wow, now I'm excited critterologist, I wasn't sure this would work, but I figured I'd give it a try. I actually have a gorgeous 12-18m outfit. I'll post a pic of it.
I'm happy to wait for warmer weather for you to ship. The Galangal sounds interesting and also the Chocolate daisy's.
Here's the 12-18m outfit
I am definitely interested. My granddaughter should fit that size come summer. Also have a grandson going into size 3. I have some fragrant daylilies (not sure which ones or how many right now) that i could trade but I'm still a ways away from Spring so I'll keep watching to see if you have anything left in a couple months!
Hmm.....maybe I'm putting this up too early....I wasn't thinking about spring but it makes sense that the other half of the country is still with snow and cold weather....silly me. What I think I'll do is Close this thread and then restart it again when the weather warms up (when would be the best time to repost do you think?).
Critter I can go ahead and send you the ones you asked about: Leaping Lily dress, Butterfly Romper, Strawberry Romper and the yellow Strawberry dress, just put me on the list for spring with some of your galangal and mints when they are ready.
Janie1leigh, was there something there that you liked also or would you like to wait till spring when I post the other outfits I have? You don't have to send the bulbs now, they can wait till it's warmer.
Thanks for your imput, at least know I know this will work.....just a little later.
Samantha
I'll be watchin for ya again in the Spring!
Just wondering if it's spring in other parts yet? It's just hot, hot, hot here so I have no clue as to when everyone else's plants break out of dormancy and spring starts (even though it has officially started).
Just let me know if I need to wait a couple more weeks longer or if I should start posting more clothes. I updated my "wish" list on the top of the page since I had time browsing all the wonderful plants around....that I don't have. LOL
Regards,
Samantha
Edited to say that I need to postpone for 2 weeks....I will have a busy 2 weeks and wont be able to mail anything. But will reopen after.

Busy here too... trying to catch up before spring planting starts! :-)
My mints have started to sprout, so I'll try to get some divisions potted up... I'd like to pot them for a bit so they'll have extra good roots when I send them, although mints are generally pretty tough. A couple haven't started to poke up yet, but it looks like I should be able to send you a collection of 8 or 9 different kinds, including the Kentucky Colonel Spearmint, Jim's Candy Lemon Lime, and Jesse's Sweet Pear that you mentioned. There's a Chocolate Daisy (1 year seedling in a quart pot) that looks like it overwintered just fine, also. I've got an extra rooted epi cutting that somebody sent me a year ago along with some Queen of the Night cuttings... I think this one is a smaller variety, and if I remember rightly it's supposed to be pink... my cuttings are just starting to take off, so I haven't seen a bloom yet.
I'm keeping an eye on the galangal, because I had to alcohol-wipe a few scale pests off it (perils of being an indoor potted plant). I think it'll be OK, but I don't want to send you a problem.
Samantha,
When you get back I would like to try to work out a large trade with you. Please D-mail me! Janie
Ok I'm opening up this thread again as I've got more clothes to list. I will post a picture, if it interests you, please list what outfit/outfits you were interested in and what you have for trade.

I really like the Palm Springs outfit. I'm making a list now of what I have to offer..Keep the pics coming-I'll be outside for a while!
Ok Janie1leigh, I'll put that one down as pending for you
Ooh, that Easter dress is adorable!! Pretty please, could I add that to my wish list?
yes Critter....your wish is granted...hehe
I emailed the photo of that dress to my friend (it's his little girl I'm getting these for... I'm her "Aunt Jill")... I also asked him about the Tommy Girl set... I don't know if they're "into" designer stuff, but that pink velour looks sooo cuddly!
ok, that's enough for today, I'll post more tomorrow....I"m tired and need to tend to my garden....LOL
