Countrygirl,
I am always interested in your daylillies. I'd like to get Moss Fire and one of your friend's hybridized yellow with red eye. What can I bring you?

Gail: #53 for me please. Always interested in your treasures. My Moses fire was gorgeous. And Gus B beautiful. Let me know what you would like. I know you like variegated so I have been working on some things for you.

casalester- i'd say pretty invasive. there's a native one that has much the same bloom and i'd go with that if i were you (i don't have that one). i continually pull it from my beds- it just keeps coming back again and again and again... the roots seem inexaustable. it does have pretty foliage, the bloom is very pretty and scented well but makes a ton of seed... let me know if you still want it or would rather try for something better behaved.
yes, i kept my large aristolochia in a pot that came into the cool greenhouse for the winter. it being able to be in the yard is a big bonus! i probably should overwinter it inside this year though, don't you think?
i will collect seed from as many of the amsonia as i can. thanks!

ok, so my list looks like this:
confirmed trades:
lorabell alstomeria for bulbine
ralph- passiflora seedlings for snow fairy
lisianthus/kim- alstromeria, sovenir de bonn abutilon and country girl for coreopsis and rosemary
judy- pink iris and tricyrtus for chinese lanterns
casalester- amsonia seed for aristolochia elegans

haven't heard back from:
lclear- maybe trading something for a spiderlily and pomegranate?
camlover- something for silene hookerii?

Hi Tammy,
I'm not sure if I have chinese lanterns left or not. I've pulled most of those up, but will look tomorrow to see if I can find one. If I don't have one, would an orange geum work?

tamelask -- Silene hookeri for you. You have lots of treasures I would like: tricyrtus, malvaviscus, alstomeria, begonia 'torch' and phlox divaricate.

Anything else I can bring you? I have cuttings of variegated acuba.

Hi Everyone. Oh Guess What! I have decided to swap several of my HUGE tropical plants. They include rubber plants, philadendrons, and something that I'm not sure what it is. I would love to swap for orchids, callas, epiphyllum, or other tropical bulbs...or lets see whatcha got.

judy, sure an orange geum would work instead- but i do want the lanterns if you have them.

camlover- pick 2 or 3 you want most. i don't need acuba, but thank you! i wouldn't say no to a second silene, though- one for me, one for the comm garden. the rest will be in the general swap and you can grab more of them there. (i only have 1 torch- so i'll set that one aside for you). and... you might want to grab the tricyrus since i think i only have 3 of those and one is spoken for. multiples of the others.

lclear- i'm still very interested in a spider lily and/or a pomegranate (so long as it's a sweet or semi sweet variety)... see above messages. i can bring cuttings of some epis. and/or a nun's orchid bulb...

Kim could I get a double amount of prickly pear? This Fall I have most of what your sharing,, next Spring I can make up ! Ha. I love the purple verbena I received this Spring, it must be 6 foot around . Low ground cover and blooming nonstop. Beautiful ! Is it a perennial or do I need to overwinter cuttings? I don't want to lose that one!

Country girl , honey and starter aloe and begonia for your yucca...done!

Iclear, am also interested in your blue spider, if there is anything your looking for?

Lorabell-laura

Hi, Judy. I looked at your list and I would really rather have a sedum or roof iris, if you have any to trade. The daylily seedlings are small. I thought I gave you Moses Fire in the spring. I'll look at my list when I get home and if not, then it is yours.

lisianthuslover, as you are already working on something for me and the daylilies are small, I won't expect anything else for it. I sent you a picture

lisianthuslover, maybe purple verbena is you have any left to give.

Judy, you wouldn't have any more of those variegated irises like you gave me last year, would you? I lost mine over the winter ...

Tamelask,

Thanks for the warning about Clematis terniflora. Sounds like a lot of hassle. Maybe you could set aside for us one of your Gelsemiums instead?

An interesting lead about Clematis virginiana. It still appears to be an aggressive grower but it happens to be dioecious so that if only male-flowering vines are selected at least the issue of unwanted seedlings will be eliminated.

It would definitely be too much risk for the small Aristolochia elegans seedlings to be exposed to freezing so soon - they will benefit from a full growing season to become better established and build up more root mass. They can actually be kept as houseplants as well.

I've an aristolochia macroura that I can make babies over winter if anyone is interested for Spring show, what an interesting plant for sure.

Countrygirl,

I'll bring you some of the variegated irises and some roof irises. I'll check my sedums to see if I have any that you don't already have. I think I got most of my sedums from you.

Not certain, if I have Moss Fire Daylily. I couldn't find it in my photo book.

Tammy - I'll bring you a geum and will look later today for a Chinese lantern.

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Then it is yours. So what if you should end up with two. LOL. I got several sedums from you last year too! Just text or email me and i'll let you know if I already have them.

lorabell- definitely interested in the aristolochia macroura for spring!! it looks great!

casalester, thanks for the advice. i'll def plan to overwinter it inside. i'll set aside the jessamine for you.

judy, many thanks!

I have the following to swap for some succulents, orchids, or other:
Althea (rose of sharon) blue hibiscus (1 foot tall)
Lemon trees (1 foot tall)
Beautyberry (6" tall)
Pomegranate Wonderful (6" tall)
Split leaf philidendrons
Rubber plants
Spiderwort lily (blue)
Strawberries Ovation (June-bearing late mid -season)

Tamelask, I will definitely have a few silenes for you. I will swap the torch, tricyrtus and malvaviscus.

Anything else I can give you? named daylilies?

Ok here’s my trade list:

Lorabell: August Lilly Hosta, Black Liriope, Orange Geum, & Dwarf Joe Pye Weed
Trade for: 2 doz. Eggs, Honey & Antirrhinum Braun-blanquetii - Lorabell, the geum and dwarf joe pye weed are two plants I think you should have. Really cool plants.

CasaLester:
Asarum Splendens for Angelina & Purple Emperor Sedum. I still have not been able to locate Arum italicum.

Lisianthuslover
Helleborus Foetidus & Ajuga for Minneola & Purple Iris

McClem
Blue & Black Salvia for Purple Iris

Jbarutis
2 cannas for Hellebores

Tammi
Pink Iris & Tricyrtus Amethystina for Geum & Chinese Lanterns (still looking for)

Countrygirl
Varigated Iris, Roof Iris, & Sedum(?) for Moses Fire & Yellow with Red Daylily

Have I forgotten anyone?

Lorabell: yes, verbena is perennial. Ok, I will bring extra cactus.

Casalester: did you decide what you would like to trade for lavender?

Camelialover: I have been researching about astrantia. ...maybe what I have is red pincushion which looks similar. Let me know what you would like to do. I have variegated basil and persian shield also some coleus. All of these need to be overwintered.

Also, my Mom has just shared some aloe, liriope, and yellow bearded irises.

Iclear,
Originally, I had wanted one of your blue spider lilies. I just saw your posting. I do have blue spiderworts/spiderlillies in my garden - lots of them. One of my favorite plants. Thanks, though.

Jdbheartease -- campanulas please. What would you like from list above?

Lorabell. Yellow iris and Persian shield would be great.

Lclear. Do you have passion vine and spider lilies left? What would you like.

Brenda. What would you like to swap for tiarella hybrids?

Jeri. What do you want for the Rainbow canna?

Camellia lover, Lorabell here, I think you have me mixed with someone else? You asked about my large dk red Christmas cactus? I have it available....hopefully for your silene schafta.

CasaLester and Tami - You’re both in Luck!!

CasaLester - While I was out hunting for Tami’s Chinese Lantern, I found a clump of Arum Italicum. I’ve got that potted up for you, plus the Asarum Splender and the small Sedum Purple Emperor.

Tami - I’ve got a Chinese Lantern potted up for you. It’s sad looking, but has a good root system.

Camilalover - I have a campanula potted up for you. If possible, I’d like to get a daylily in exchange - you can bring bare root - no need to pot it.

That's it for me tonight. See everyone tomorrow.

Camellialover, I've got some rainbow cannas for you. You can pick something for me :-) What color is your daylily?

Ralph, it looks like someone else is bringing you some crocosmia. I have crocosmia 'Lucifer' and will try to bring some.

Hi Sabji! If I don't have the curry leaf tree separated by tomorrow, we can meet in Raleigh or Garner another day :-)

Since there's been some interest in arum italicum, I potted up some of that today.

I'm going to the JCRA plant distribution tomorrow morning and have no idea what to get!!

Here is a link that might be useful: JCRA plant list 10/4/14

Lorabell, I have you for Silene schafta and a red Christmas cactus.

Lisianthus, the yellow iris and Persian shield would be great.

Ralph, I'd love an Alpinia zerumbet!

(Alpinia koshunensis, Taiwan shell ginger, is the only plant I've highlighted from the JCRA list that I really want!)

Jeri

camlover got you down for those, thanks. no, i'm good for plants.

lclear, i think i'm good. i also have blue spiderwort, and don't need more. and i'm not really wanting 'wonderful'. plus it's getting awfully late for me to grab stuff. thanks much!!

jusy that's fantastic news! happy dance!

casalester, my ciliata/hubrectii didn't have any seeds set. i only have the one and perhaps it doesn't self pollinate or cross with the other types? i don't know. but i have seeds from both my large leafed varieties (one of which has some of the deepest blue flowers i've seen to date on an amsonia). they both also turn yellow in the fall- all amsonias do that i know of.

I know I'm late to the party...
I didn't think I'd have anything much different, but in addition to my general stuff, I have:

Hart Hens&chicks
Echeveria runyonii 'Topsy Turvy'
White Reblooming Azalea

Would love:
Pomegranate
Black Bamboo
Sweet Fig
Variegated Iris

Sabji, we'll get you some seeds of Lavandula angustifolia.

I am finally in Raleigh I had more things to bring than i thought! I have 2 rooted begonia Withacoochee and a couple other goodies, plus a nice selection of coleus...if they survived the trip!

Judy, did you get my email?

Sabji,
I can bring some rosemary cuttings, I didn't think to root any. I have mints, chives, and garlic chives potted.
Anna

Sabji : do you have any fenugreek seeds? I have some variegated basil if you are interested

Magick: Re you still looking for Stella d oro lily? Would like your white rebloom azalea. Or maybe you would like a variegated basil?

Gail, I am jealous! Get something awesome! I will be joining everyone next year for that event.

Camelialover: I have set aside purple balloon flower seeds, yellow iris, and Persian shield for your thalictrum, agapanthus, and spirea

lisianthuslover - Stella d oro lily would be great!

Hi lisianthuslover ,
Yes!!!
I can bring Fenugreek seed for you. I also have plenty of holy basil seed.
I would love the var. ted basil and any other edible stuff !!!

Thank you for the wonderful plants. It was great seeing everyone and meeting new gardeners.

Crazy good exchange, beautiful weather, amazing gardeners, wonderful plants. Even though I got home super late last night, I still found my way at 5 this morning checking out the stash. How fun! Thanks everyone! Lorabell

It was nice joining you yesterday and meeting so many wonderful people. Thank you for the new treasures for my garden.

Val

I had a great time seeing everyone, lots of great plants, food, and people.... but I don't want to talk about how many plants I brought home! Now I have to plant them all! I know I said I didn't want very much, but when I saw all the goodies, I lost control! LOL!

What a wonderful event this was. It was my first time there, and it was a blast. Thanks for organizing this plant exchange. And the food that everyone brought for the picnic was so yummy. See you next year!
