I know here in Texas it is NOT Fall.. But soon will be for some of our Zone Challenged Friends ;)... I have already taken a few cuttings to root and will probably only trade for rooted cuttings .. Not really looking for much .. I will have some Banana's for Trade as well...Never to early to start planning for next yr......LOL

    Kylie, what do you have to trade and what are you looking for, that way if I want to make a trade I can maybe see if I have one that you're looking for that I can take a cutting from now and root :)

    Shawn this really NO answer to your question..I am just looking for something I don't have.. I don't have a list and it is to dang hot right now to make one..If you are looking for somehting let me know. ..I sent stuff last yr. and will have some extra this yr as well..

  • 18 years ago

    what kind of cutting are we talking about Kylie? The only once I have cut off and are rooting *hopefully* are the growth beneath Y's. But I do have Andrew's Gold rooting. YES you are right about to hot. Just got in from watering for the 3rd time today. One time less and some little onces are near death. Oh I wish the heat would go away. I am so tired of watering all day long.

    Kylie do you have painted lady, Rubirosa, Ecuador pink, Daydreams, and I know these 3 are a fat chance but I'll still check if you have them..... Earth Angel or Melancholy Baby or Mango Crush? These are some of the main ones I want to try to acquire through trades this fall, most of my brugs are still too small to take cuttings but the ones I may be able to take from are NOL, NOID white, my variegated one, maybe NN if it ever Ys, and probably a few others if the growth gets that wood color instead of being green.

    I will have some to trade but right now Im like you. I know theres stuff out there but it is to hot to trade or root until @ least Nov. for me. I will be looking for DayDreams and Super Spot. Or Lilies. Im definatly open to unusual things I dont have. I would like to have a rooted Ichromia. I know I spelled that wrong but I want unusual stuff. Im not sure what all Ill have to trade quite yet But Ill have some goodies.

    I have some epiphyllums would love to trade for some brugmansia. They are named and if anyone wants a list please email me. Judy

  • 18 years ago

    I don't even want to think of fall yet..just the word makes me sad. I'm not ready, summer is going by way too fast. And I'm not ready for my seasonal depression BS either..

  • 18 years ago

    Shawn,
    I feel like I'm listening in on someone else's conversation, but I would like to trade you some Painted Lady cuttings this fall for some NOL cuttings. Painted Lady is new for me this year. I bought 3 cuttings from TTopcat on ebay in midwinter and they sent 4 cuttings. Three of these rooted and they have really turned out to be my favorite pink so far. The two I kept grew rapidly into beautiful standards and are on their second full flush already this year. The flowers are quite "elegant". Really just beautiful. Have lots of other "older" varities as well. Let me Know. Roy

    I sent you an email Judy. I will have some things to share this fall as well. I don't have a list either, lol. Post your wants and we can all see who can supply what everyone is looking for that way and hopefully everyone can get something on their want list. I will be open for trades of unusual plants as well. I like all sorts of stuff too.

  • 18 years ago

    LOL... Get on in here Roy...
    I agree with Kristy. If you put your wants out here anyone can let you know if they have that... I will probably have a few Banana's to offer also.. Right now I am looking for
    Super Spot and also Earth Angel.. I'm sure there is more...LOL
    Kylie

  • 18 years ago

    Not asking more much huh Kylie, lol. You will probably be lucky enough to get those too. I haven't even seen one yet, lol. If we ever have a cool day I'm going to make a list but it would be nice to have a want list so I can cut and send as I go. If I have to do them all at once I will nver get them all packed and sent. I still have things that I need to send out but its been too hot.

  • 18 years ago

    When the time comes, I should have a couple of S White
    cuttings to trade...would like something different in
    a dark pink or a creamish color.
    I'm tired of watering every day also...so hot!

    Roy that sounds good to me, remind me in the fall if I forget to remind you. I have some side shoots on my NOL and it is still growing branches. I plan on waiting til I bring my brugs in to take most of my cuttings, I want them to have as much time as possible to turn to the brown color instead of green so maybe they will root better.
    Thanks.
    Kylie, good luck with those two, if I get either one I will put you at the top of my list to get a cutting of them and you do the same for me, lol.

    I will only have common ones abd NOID to trade since I am still kinda new to this but I would love a double of any kind, white and pinks are my favs. Yellow is my least favorite color.

    Mary I sent you an email...
    You got it Shawn..Thanks
    I have wanted Earth Angel since I first saw it 2 yrs ago.. Only it was $80. LOL

  • 18 years ago

    I should have a number of varieties come fall but I don't know what yet.

  • 18 years ago

    Kylie, where was it(EA) sold when you seen it for $80. I don't think I've evre seen it offered, I wonder why this brug must have just dropped off the face of the earth? I see superspot on ebay sometimes but it goes way higher than I'd pay. Ive seen a plant go for $182 and CUTTINGS of it go for $117!

    I would be interested in a dark pink, have common plumerias for trade.

    I bought an earth angel when it first came out for sale. It was nothing but trouble. Hardly grew and suceptible to broad mites and everything else. I was always treating it for something..When it finally bloomed, it was not a dark coral pink but a medium pink. I had it in different environments etc and they never got really dark or coral looking for me. The plant was always very sickly. I finally took two tip cuttings and tossed the mother plant. I don't know if these will do any better. I am gonna try them in the ground instead of a pot.

    I should have lots of stuff to trade this fall.
    I am not sure what I will be looking for though, probably not many brugs, there are not that many I want that I don't already have lol.

  • 18 years ago

    SJN I love the dark pinks, but when I saw a photo of EA on BGI I liked the lighter color as well, It lookes like a light peachy-red color. Let us know how these tip cuttings do and please let us know if you ever have hese available for trade or postage. And let us know the other stuff you have for trade too, you have some great brugs. Hmmmm..you must be the only person on GW that has all the brugs they want, lol.
    Shawn

  • 18 years ago

    SS use to offer it when it first came out.. I have heard alot of mixed reviews on .. most not positive..I haven't seen it offered in a long time either.. I guess I just want the chance to kill it myself...LOL

  • 18 years ago

    Fall tradeing is much more fun if we partner up and do a box of Surprises. I have some nice ones and other tings I am proud of this year. Shipping is just getting to high for me to trade for one plant unles it is just exceptional. I am looking for Daydreams, Pink Smitty, Super Spot, Miners Claim, MEM, and Painted Lady.
    I will have Creamsickle and many others depending on the branching. Some are slower growing thats for sure.

  • 18 years ago

    I can't speak for everyone that has this brug but I am guessing that one of the reasons that EA isn't offered more is because it might stand some improvement. I see that it is being bred quite a bit instead of being sold itself.

    J4J, you might have a good idea as far as shipping goes~ Probably better to trade in bulk vs one plant at a time. If gas goes up more this fall and during holidays shipping is gonna be a bi@tch.

  • 18 years ago

    Kylie, you have mail, Barbra,

  • 18 years ago

    I would love to add a few variegated brugs and some with long and/or curly tendrils. I have a few doubles and a triple white. Waiting for blooms.
