See below for a link to my plants for trade. I can provide more detailed photos, if you are interested in something specific. I moved last year, so there are several plants that lost their tags in the process. For example, I most likely won't know the bloom color of the columbines, unless they bloom this year and I mark them. Same goes for the helleborus.

I am looking for:
ferns
elephant ears (preferably purple/black)
foxgloves
hollyhocks
maybe sedums

Open to suggestions.
Thanks.
Uli

Here is a link that might be useful: Uli's Plants for Trade

Uli,
I have some baby foxgloves (volunteers), several sedums. When you come - I can dig up some for you, if those are the kind you would want (sedums).

My husband and I would love to come to the plant trade, we have not been for probably three or more years but it was so much fun. Is anyone invited? If so, we will be there and I will get together a list of what I can bring? Thank you, Amy

Amy, you and your husband are most welcome to come. Post a list of your "haves" and "wants", come and have fun!

Natalie, Thank you I am so excited! I will work on my list. Amy

Potting plants!

so far I have crocosmia-orangish red, lavender obedient plant, fushia rose campion, bronze fennel, tradescantia flower and yarrow not sure of color

I have TONS of Chrysanthemum Sheffield (pink/peach mums) - will pot some, and if anyone wants more - they are very easy to pull. I will provide carrying bags.
In fact, if you guys see anything you like in my garden - you are welcome to take cuttings or divisions, unless plants were planted recently and are still very young to be divided yet. I will have tools for digging and cutting available.
Natalie

Uli, so far I have not seen my elephant ears! I don't know if they survived this winter. If I see any, and we're coming, I'll bring them with me.
I've not yet tried to talk my hubby into the ride to Roswell yet....

If we're coming I will have some:
orange button chrysanthemums
yellow button chrysanthemums
black gamecock Louisianna irises
tall black eyed susans (these bloom later than 'regular' BES and have very long stems for cutting. Typically called "Sweet" BES.
Elizabeth campanula which SPREAD and spread rapidly so I will not bring any unless someone specifically wants some
plumb dwarf bearded irises
cut leaf coneflower (spreads, native) if anyone wants it
tons of blue "spiderwort" tradescantia if anyone wants it.
possibly some annuals like zinnias etc.
Salvia black and Blue if anyone wants it

I'll probably know better by the end of this weekend if I can make it on the 14th...

GGG, if you come, I would like some Black Gamecock La iris, please.

This is what I will probably have. I'll add on if I dig up more:

Black Eyed Susans (esh thinks it's Rudbeckia hirta)
orange Crocosmia
Clethra alnifolia "Ruby Spice"
Salvia "Black and Blue"
Goldenrod "Fireworks"
white Yarrow
tall yellow Iris (not sure which kind)
Japanese roof iris
hardy geranium
Siberian Iris

That's all I can think of at the moment.

I don't think I can make it. I will only have just returned from PR on the 11th and plan on being worn out. Hope everyone has fun!
{{gwi:795275}}

I will have to miss this one due to a family event in south Georgia that weekend. And I had lots to bring, too.

Sorry, I'm just not going to be able to make this trade!! I hope you have a wonderful time!

Is anyone still interested in coming to Adairsville this Sat? I am leaving IL this am. I've had a great time with my kids. I'm exhausted and won't really be able to do much planing til Fri. Anyone can e-mail me, rather than me checking here. Thanks, Lorinda

I'm having trouble with email not getting through and/or going to a spam folder. Not sure if it's gardenweb only or a gmail problem. But if anyone has emailed me and I didn't respond it's because I didn't get it!

Hope everyone made it through the storms ok!

Lorinda, I'm going to the Native Plant sale on Saturday but if the trade is in the afternoon I could make it. But if you have too much going on or if there aren't enough folks able to attend, don't feel obligated. From your posts, you sound like you have a lot going on. I feel your overwhelm! I'm moving a huge flower garden from my front yard to my back and have bitten off a lot more than I realized! I emailed you but I got an error message so I think gardenweb email might be messed up.

If anyone needs to email me directly my gmail address is the same as my username.

Roswell Spring Trade 2011 is scheduled for May 14th, Saturday at 11 am.

Feel free to bring whatever plants/seeds/rooted cuttings/garden tools/ornaments/books/magazines and anything related to gardening you wish to trade. We will be having potluck lunch afterwards, so bring food you like for sharing. Kitchen will be available for re-heating. Plates, cups, napkins, silverware, coffee, tea, milk, sugar, lasagna will be provided, as well as the opportunity to re-heat whatever food you bring, if it is necessary. We do not keep the "diet" sweeteners or drinks (soda, etc), so feel free to bring those.

In a few days I will send e-mails to everyone via GardenWeb - please make sure your e-mail address is listed and unblocked (double-check your member page on GW). If for some reason you do not get my e-mail with address, phone number - you can e-mail me personally (yahoo dot com is attached to my GW name. Mention your name and your GW name). Please do not share my personal information.

Make sure you make arrangements for pre-trades with each other (if so desire), bring your plants marked with as much info as possible (common name, botanical name name, height, color, sun/shade/soil/water requirements, etc). You can set them up on a front yard patio - I will allocate specific areas for trees, herbs, perennials, annuals, shade, sun, etc. The rest of the plants will be "free for all", and we will share those at around 11:30am.

We have an indoor/outdoor cat - for those of you with allergies. He spends most of his time outside guarding the gardens.

We are in a subdivision, and our HOA is a little ... temperamental :), so please park along the sidewalks and do not block driveways.

Any questions - post them here. I will be checking this site regularly.

Look forward to having a great time with all of you!

My email address is
amybabyboy3@netzero.com
Thank you, Amy

vnginger - I will certainly bring you some solomon's seal and penstemon digitalis. I would love to trade for some asters.

The directions to my house and phone numbers have been e-mailed. If you wish to participate in a trade on May 14th and have not received my e-mail - please let me know, and I will re-send it.
Have a great Mother's Day everyone!

~Natalie

Vnginger,
If you have extra Forsythias I would love to have a 2-3. There is a lot of space to fill and I love seeing them bloom so I know that Spring is here. Thanks. -Lucy

Lucy,
Can I trade you yarrow for red ginger?

I also have a few green elephant ears, fushia and yellow 4 oclocks and green leave canna unsure of color and the daylily is called decatur burgundy daylily that I listed earlier, just found the tag. I dont have the fennel anymore my husband killed it-sorry.

Please let me know if anyone wants to trade. More things are listed in earlier posting. Thank you, Amy

Amy,
That sounds good. I'll bring you a couple of red ginger lilies. -Lucy

There is a slim chance I can come, crazy schedule here, and,working around a trip out West to see old friends, he has ALS, and is failing fast. Having trouble pinning it down, was supposed to leave the 15th.
I really would love to have the:
burgundy daylily-Amy
any ginger lily-Lucy
have daylilies: many other colors to trade: red, mauve, creamy dreamy, cool whip, several pink or peachy to deep orange, most with light or dark water marks, or bright yellow eyes. only problem is ID, took pics last year, so will have to wait til blooming.
blackberry lilies from last years trade
Black scallop Ajuga-just a little to spare, prolific spreader/bloomer-Love it,
also another very small ajuga name?
Geyser white guara-huge 3'+ mounding, prolific, long, all season bloomer-good seeder, great for dry sunny spot
Netty's pride Asiatic lily- smaller, creamy tips deep burgundy center, very prized.
I go south often enough to meet anyone near Harry's or Barrett Pkwy.
Surely there is more I would love to have, and maybe if I get more of what is sitting in pots already planted, I will get permission to come. Being the addicted, obsessive gardener that I am, my hubby has started a little intervention. I even got some from my 93 yr old Aunt in WI, she gave it to my over the phone. For anyone who does not know; I have had multiple, serious, spinal surgeries, and many more pending. I just can't quit the gardening abuse to my body, it's a really crazy relationship.

Lucy, thanks for the hellebores and hosta. I will bring you coreopsis, double white shasta daisy and bee balm.

Vnginger, I will bring you Double white shasta daisy, Becky daisy, White bearded iris and purple bee balm. I dug up and potted some crocosmia but it's not looking good. If it recovers I will bring you that too. I would love Japanese wisteria, orange trumpet vine and black eyed Susan.

Two more additions to my list of HAVES:

Pink obedient plant (spreads fast)
Sedum

Lucy, Thank you!

Organic gardenhag- will bring you the decatur burgundy daylily would love to try your white guara, I have lots of dry sunny spots where that could go.

Let me know if any one else wants to trade? Thank you, Amy

I believe everyone who expressed desire to be at the trade was sent e-mail to. If you have not received it, please let me know.
Thanks!
~Natalie

It might be sprinkling on Saturday, so bring an umbrella or raincoat just in case.
Look forward to seeing you all!

Once again - thank you for coming - it was a real joy!
