This is a great idea! Hope you dont mind if I mention it on the general discussions board.

Michelle

Michell,

Feel free. I'm new here, so I'm trying to follow the rules, but it should be mentioned wherever the poor gardeners who got flooded will see it.

Susannah

And I guess, trying again to follow the rules, I should post what I actually have:

chenille
jasmine (I'm not sure of the variety, but it's the big one, with clustered flowers, 15 feet high and trying to get as wide, often used for a hedge.)
persian shield (never buy this, it roots so easily)
several crotons including a couple unusual ones
pride of barbados (as seeds, or in a couple months, I'll have babies)
wart fern
golden dewdrop
a bunch of differen and not very unusual heliconias
brom pups
rooted firebush babies
purple epidendrum orchids
firecracker (another never buy plant if you live anywhere near me.)
christmas palm seedlings
century plant pups
very common pink plumeria cuttings
a red mimosa that I'd need to air layer first, but I've done it once, so it can be done

all of this is purely amateur stuff, but if your entire yard got wiped out, I suspect it will be pretty expensive at the big boxes to replace even the amateur stuff. So let me know if any of this will help you fill in the holes. And if you've lost fancy stuff, I bet someone with it will be checking in. I hope you will post what you've lost.

None of what I have is worth the postage to mail except maybe the seeds. But I'm going to be at the swap in October ...

Susannah

Susannah,
This is a very nice thing you are doing. Right now I am in the middle of Fay's visit. Hopefully my plants will still be here tomorrow. We are on higher ground than our neighbors, and live in the woods near a flood zone.

Thank you,
Linda

I don't have much, but if you've lost your plants due to Fay's floods and you need some quick replacements, I have these available immediately in Orlando area:

strelitzia nicolai
philodendron selloum
mamey crotons

I agree, I am willing to help as well. Plants or whatever to help. I just have basic stuff but check my trade list for anything that interests you.

Anybody close (that can come pick up) that wants to do some trading I have some potted palms, gardenias, butterfly bushes and a few other things I moving out to replace with items that took the storm alittle better. I will have plenty for the swap in october if your not close enough now but I just cant put out the posage cost with needing to replace all my tarps and fix the mist house.

So heres what I have that I can help with or trade out: gardenias - miami supreme, august beauty ( cuttngs or trimmed plant)
tri-color asiatic jasmine
A few angels trumpet type unkown
Robelini (pygmy date)
Queen palm
A few basjoo bannana
butterfly bushes (different kinds)
Purple Mexican petunia cuttings (easy to root)

Would like to replace:
a few crotons that were smashed (any kind) mine were just small ones I bought at walmart i think
Could use a few blue porter weed to fill in a spot
Anybody have a rooted confederate rose (still deciding if mine will make it or not but going to try...
Lions tail mine WAS beautiful and then it was laying on the ground and flattened by a branch broken and dying (cut it back today at the ground and praying hard)
My mints are semi-missing flattened out and crushed (same branch as above)

I think thats inventory from today..

I will have lots of Plumeria cuttings for anyone who is interested. Sus, this is a fab idea, and very sweet of you! What kind of Brom pups do you have?? anything interesting?

Cindeea,

My brom pups are pretty to me but I doubt any would be worth mailing. They were all given to me by various friends or bought at a big box when they were in bloom and then stuck out in the yard once they stopped.

I was figuring I could offer them to anyone who happened to be in Miami some weekend, or who might be at the swap in october.

(newbie, but okay with it :)
susannah

Great idea!! These are for pick up only as well.

White variegated Alocasia Macrorrhiza babies
Yellow variegated Alocasia Odora babies
Alocasia Sinuata
Colocasia Affinis Jenningsii and Fallax
Colocasia Lime Aide
Alligator fern
Philo Gloriosum
Philo Pink Princess
Philo Mamei
