HAVE: For Mar '12 Green Elephant

14 years ago

Mom and I will be attending. Check our trade lists and let us know if we can bring anything for anyone.

Also, we had previously promised a gooseneck loosestrife to someone, but we're not sure who. Anyone want to claim it?

    Bejoy(2),
    Thanks, my sister would like another pampas grass. I would like a Harison's rose and a Sitka spruce. I already have more variegated daylilies potted, if either of you would like. I'll look around and see what else I have.

    You both have been great to share plants with me. I'll bring fresh brown eggs for each you from Matthew's chickens & any plants I find that can be divided that are different from what you've given me (will be hard because a lot of what I have is from you ladies). If I can I'll get more SGrow granules for you & keep dry until the swap. I'll be out of town Feb. 26-29.

    Marie, I'll dig Asiatic pink w/ white center & bright orange & orange tiger bulbils that have sprouted & will bloom in a year or so. Do you really want skunk cabbage?

    Is there something else you'd like?

    Corydalis lutea (yellow) & lamium (no yellow bloomers, but Aurea (pink), white leaved types (purple, white), & white blotched leaves (rose) are happily growing again now, so I can find them. I also see the hardy Geranium growing again by the chicken coop, long bloomer taller & sprawling not G. macro blooms rosy-pink not too bright. Deer like it, so must be protected.

    I'd like:
    Japanese Anemone: purple, white
    Bamboo..dwarf green - how many? Want to make a deer barrier at Whidbey
    Calla ..white - 2 of you have them
    Daylilies: Borgig & Stella D' Oro
    Dianthus..unknown - 3 plants
    False Lily of the Valley (no sign of mine, so must have died)
    Grape hyacinth - James wants several.
    Iris..Siberian..purple, Siberian..Vanessa, Psuedocorus, Unguicularis
    Lily of the Valley
    Primroses.. short and long stem -- ANY - esp. Green Goddess, Bulesiana, Victorian Lace..'Scarlet' (James loves the lace one.)
    Saxifragra,Strawberry Begonia x 3 if you have

    Teresa, I'll be happy to bring you a spruce and a Harison's rose. Be warned that the Harison's Yellow is very prickly, and suckers freely. But it is very floriferous, and fragrant to boot. If you can, you should try to constrain the roots (I'm going to try planting mine in an upended drain pipe). And you probably also know that the Sitka spruce needles are sharp. The trees that I have are planted in 5-gallon pots, and the smallest one is almost 5' tall (probably about 3' once planted).

    Thanks, Tammy.

    Corrine.. Thanks for the good eggs in advance.

    I can bring you most things..but the Siberian Vanessa is no more....at least I can't find her...and some of the Primrises are not all up..or else also are no more. So..will bring what is up..and will see what the next couple weeks bring.

    I would love the Asiatic lily..pink, with white center..but already have orange tiger lilies...both bright and speckled. Or do if they survived. They also are not up. I do like the skunk cabbage and I have an area they should do well in..away from the cabin.

    Also..yes..more corydalis would be very nice...as Tammy would like one too.

    Now..the bamboo is a runner....and a very fast one at that by year 3..so ..are you sure you want some???? I have plenty..but want to be sure you know what you are getting.

    I guess I had best get started..*G* I have been busy digging out from the ice storm..and clearing winter debris..so am a bit behind the curve so far.

    See you all soon..Bejoy (Marie)

    M,
    Sounds good. Spring isn't here yet, so same thing dormant plants in the gardens. We have a few weeks to see sprouting, so hope I can find the pink lily. If not now, will later on & set aside for you. The bright orange is an asiatic. Do you have that already?

    Yes, know about the bamboo & have it in double pots above ground here. It will be for Whidbey where the deer roam, dense turf, no water, etc. James' dad wants plants that spread & grow like crazy...

    Marie,
    Found 1 bulb & 2 small bulbs of the pink Asiatic lily for you & potted them up in one round pot. When I find more I'll share with you again & might be one that will be blooming size, too.

    Thanks, Corrine. Keep plenty for yourself now.

    I am bringing one gallon of bamboo for you....two if I can find the other gallon...and can dig more bamboo for you later, The ground here is so very wet and being clay..also very slippery and sticky ..right now.
    Marie
