Fruits of the Swap

23 years ago

Maybe it should be "blooms of the swap"...hmm.

Anyway, I thought I'd mention that in spite of the rain I have my first bloom from a swap acquisition-- One of Jeff's cute English daisies. It's so sweet!

    Laurel - thanks for starting this thread. Here's the report on some of my goodies.

    from Wildgardner - dianthus deltoides and garden dianthus - still hanging on after being dug out several times by the squirrels
    from Larry in Virginia - Linaria showing first flowers - a beautiful dark purple
    from CollectorDi - pink daylily "Love Is", split into two fans, one doing great, the other one dug up by the squirrel several times but now seems OK, little "Claridge Druse" geranium hanging on and putting out new leaves
    from Cynthia - giant Korean angelica doing great, silver tansy doing great, Verbena bonariensis four plants all in different spots, all chewed by the bunny, sending out new shoots from the roots
    from ConnieMD - "Cherry Bells" campanula sulking
    from Blueangel - white yarrow doing great

    The other stuff I received was planted at my aunts house. I'll have an update soon. Thank you to everyone who gave me plants! - Christina

    the vinca that i got at the swap is growing fast! chrismd did you give me the bare naked ladies ? when will they bloom, i am getting ready to put those in the ground today. :)

    Wild-Garden - the naked ladies did not come from me. They bloom in midsummer, but they might skip a year since they were moved. They like full sun if possible.

    Naked Ladies might have been from me. My ladies are all over the place - any place that you would plant daffodils.

    Chris is right about blooming - but you never know - they might suprise you.

    dundalk_gardener well thank you for them :) i had been wanting some naked ladies and then there they were at the swap! you will be happy to know they have gone to sleep in a large pot with good soil and are happy i think. i will have to disturb them to put them into their new home which is a big bed with great rotted manure compost, they will like it. :)

    Wild-Garden, the "garden dianthus" you gave me are blooming! FYI - they are seedlings of Dianthus deltoides "Shrimp".

    that is great i am smiling proudly! :) thank you for telling me chrismd. also thank you for identification, all i knew is they are seeds i collected from the dianthus growing around the pond. those little dianthus make a lot of seeds and i had excellent germination from them. :) thanks again! it is so nice when someone tells you how your babies are doing lol.

    Boy, my stuff is going great guns!
    I apologize for not knowing all the names of swappers, but I can tell you every single thing is happy in its new home.

    Libby's liriope is entrenched on the evil hill.
    Kimka's day lilies are perky.:)
    Geeze, everything's doing so well, I didn't even think about it not!

    I'm glad to find this thread (albeit late) to thank you all again. :)

    Christine
