Plant Trade ORVG RU 2008

Ric, that's it. Isn't the common name, lungwort?

So now that it is identified, anybody want some?

Sue, you're welcome to some iris, sure. I'd love Cherokee Purple. Right now would be nice, actually...A fresh mater, I mean. *sigh*

Bonnie, I would like some lungwort, please.

yes i can't wait for a ripe juicy mato
ok i will put a few aside for you
I didn' put them in my trade list due to i didn't think they would make it but they are looking good and thriving . SO far so good
thanks
sue

Bonnie it's Spiderwort.

Doctors and Herbalists once thought if a plant looked like a part of the body it would cure that part.
It looks somewhat like a crouching spider and the sap forms silk-like threads when the plant is broken.
Wort usually means a medicinal herb or root ... so Spider Bite Medicine... doesn't work
Just as Bloodwort or Root... has red sap....actually does have some medicinal properties but not for blood.
Pulmonaria is Lungwort. It looks somewhat like a diseased lung... doesn't work.

My Spiders are just coming on.
Did I by any chance trade you a pale white/ blue blush one?
Or a pure white one?

Ric

Esther

Marcy,

The violets you gave me last year are in bloom now. Sure I would love some more. I will take some stump pics if it ever stops raining.

Glass trades in order of pickers so far are George, Marcy, Neal but I hope to have a piece or two fro every one.

Ric, did you mean that I got one of the spider plants from you? I don't have one, and I can't remember killing one either!! Or did you mean, do I want one? If that is the case, yes!! If not, no problem. So Spiderwort it is. Will go back and change my post about it on the trade thread.

I just listed a few things that I will have for trade. I have begonias for Neal, daylilies for George and a spiderwort for Kimberly, that I have marked finalized.

So look at my list and see if I have anything you want.

tsk tsk tsk Did y'all get lost? ;)

OOPS! Sorry Chele, going to chat right now!!

Esther how many Kellogs Breakfast do you have to spare ? i would like a few
thanks

I didn't think of this until I saw glass listed. Would anyone want to trade for plant tags? The 12" tall metal ones with the wraparound metal tag. Or, what about some large metal flowers? These stand about 4- 5' tall once you screw in their two-piece stems. I have red ones and blue ones. Most are still in their original boxes. And, I have some very nice wooden signs I had made for one of our display gardens years ago and have never used. I'd be happy to trade for large EEs or something cool.

I can email photos of these items later if anyone is interested.

Mona

Mona, I'd be interested in seeing the wood signs. Even if we don't trade, I need some ideas. LOL

Mona, do you have pics of the metal flowers?

Lana

I will bring

Double orange Day Lilies
Light blue heirloom Iris, has a grape-like aroma
Small starts of double lavender Rose of Sharon
Ajuga
Yellow creeping Sedum
Small Columbine.....unsure of colors

I finally tossed the metal flowers into a temporarily empty spot in the garden. They are both about 4' tall. I don't have one of the "stem" pieces screwed into the blue one. The flowers are about 12 - 14" across. The bottlebrush buckeye to the left of the 'Grey Owl' will belong to one of you on Saturday.

See you Saturday.

Mona

Mona

I decided to drop in and say hey since I won't be there this time. There is always the fall though.....Will miss you all this weekend!

Hey Mona
I won't have anyone to pick stuff up,but maybe I could send you what you wanted in the mail and send some extra $$ so you could send me some bamboo.(can you tell I really want the bamboo : ) Just dmail me and let me know.
George

Moonlit.

If you still have the lime zinger and the coral bell-cintronelle, I would love those.

Bertie and I would like any extra sweet woodruff that is floating around, too.

I've got you down for Sweet Woodruff, Cookie.

Anyone have tall tomato stakes, like 8 footers?

I use rebar. ;) Cheap and lasts forever.

I second the rebar. I use field fence to make cages, and rebar to anchor cages. Kimberley, you can get rebar at Newark Builders supply, on 79 south of Heath, cut to order lengths.

See chat thread -- too long to post here.

joycet - have you down for the lime zinger and heuchera.

Everybody have fun and stay safe! See you all Sunday evening!

Toni
