Does no one in Canada have a gunnera manicata? I also have the following to work out a trade:
small forsythia
beauty bush (Kolkwitzia amabalis)
red stem dogwood
pink lily of the valley
trillium grandiflorum

Gunnera is a fairly unusual and pricey plant, and not grown much outside of the warmer areas of BC. You're unlikely to find it offered in trade.

If you want to buy one, this place sells them.

I second Bonnie, I've heard of it but have never seen it grown before. Your best bet is to buy one. I haven't seen many companies in Canada which offer it, which I would assume means this plant is not hardy and not suited in our climate (z5)

Wishes do come true. With any luck at all your new baby will arrive safe and sound in the spring. Happy New Year Marj

I love being proven wrong :-)
