Sylvia,
Do we have any kind of head count for this swap???
Debbie

This is too close it pass up! I live off Shiloh Rd, so, I will be there. This is my first year in my house but I belonged to a garden club in Kingwood that was heavy on the plant exchange and I loved it! I always have a little something growing. I can bring my favorite rose cuttings Zepherine Drouhin, and some yellow cosmos seeds. Hmm, I will have to take a further look around tomorrow.
Lisa

Yay!

no head count yet, deb, but this is the first year for it, & I've sent the info to the local papers & will remind them again this week.

With the price of gas these days, this swap sounds wonderful to me!

I can't make it to the Ft. Worth Swap, so I would be interested in coming/bringing something.

Isn't there a good BBQ place downtown Ovilla? Seems like you mentioned it after your garden tour last summer.

chocolate mint
lemon mint
maybe variegated pineapple mint

Can anyone use English ivy?

This is what I have now & will bring if wanted:

I'll add more as I find it & pot it.

Ok, adding to my list already

Sylvia, do your orange kwanzo daylilies look like this?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemerocallis

If so, I would like one please.

I also remembered I have waterlilies I need to divide if anyone wants them.

yeppers!
I'll bring you several, mine need to be thinned.

Sylvia,
After looking at the picture of the orange kwanzo daylilies, I'd like a couple too.
If you don't any Stella D'Oro I can trade you a couple of them.
Debbie

Adding again, this is my newest list:

wisteria
confetti lantana
varigated vinca
Spanish lavender
purple leaf oxalis
columbine, not sure what color, either yellow, red, blue or purple
rain lily
sedum
coreopsis
water lilies or marginals if wanted (not going to dig unless someone wants anything)
purple clematis (rooting now)

Marti,
I would like purple clematis, Spanish lavender, confetti lantana.
I tried to sprout Autumn clematis & nuthin - just empty pots. LOl

Right now I know that I will have
GUPPIES
Stella D'Orro daylillies
string of Bananas cutting
Burrows tail cutting
string of pearls cutting
Hens & Chicks
Mother of Thousands (Kalanchoe tubiflora)babies
Mother of Thousands (Kalanchoe daigremontiana)babies
MG's Grandpa Ott, Lavender
Round Lambs ear cutting (may already have roots)

Debbie

Debbie, I've never tried propagating clematis either, and don't know if this will work either. I accidently broke a couple of pieces of & thought I might as well try.

I'll definitely have the Spanish lavender for you and a confetti lantana though.

I'd like to trade for Stella D'Orro daylillies and Grandpa Ott MG.

If anyone has bluebonnets, I'd like to trade for some. I'm probably the only person in Texas who can't get bluebonnets to come back the next year.

debbie, bad news on the clematis. My dog jumped on the chair & knocked it off one evening and I didn't find it until the next morning.

I can either get a cutting Saturday morning, or see if I have a different clematis coming up somewhere (I think there may be a sweet autumn).

I hope this wind lets up. My allergies are killing me today & I still have a few things to get ready.

Marti that's OK. If you can find one that's cool.
Debbie

Did you want a name tag?

Sure, why not. How many are going to be there?

Marti,

???? how many are going to be there????? What did ya mean
If you have any of the floating water lilies I'd love to get a start from them.

Knowing that this is a new swap, I walked around & gathered up some left over plants from all the Great Gardeners at the Fort Worth plant swap. I don't know how many people will be at this swap but we will be prepared to have something for any newbies.

I know Sylvia is bringing extra stuff too. I'm her shadow this year - haha - well at least to the 3 swap meets in our area.

Sylvia is the Greatest!!!

Deb

I mean how many folks are going to come to this swap?

I was going to bring a neighbor but I think she has changed her mind. I'll ask her again. She has a lot of blue mist I thought she would bring.

Oh & YES, I will bring you a water lily. Do you want a particular color? I have pink, white, yellow if I still have markers in the pots so I can tell which is which.

My final list - I think

I'm just bringing one or two of each of these unless someone tells me they want something. Then I'll dig more if I have them.

wisteria (2)
varigated vinca (1)
purple leaf oxalis (2)
columbine (1)
rain lily bulbs (1)
sedum (1)
coreopsis, lance leaf (3)
bog sage (1)

Trade to:

Water lily to Debbie

Trade from:
Stella D'Orro daylilies from Debbie
Grandpa Ott MG from Debbie
Kwanzo daylilies from Sylvia

What time are we meeting tomorrow?

Start at 10 AM & swap-til-we-drop!

I need to get rid of some crinums Herberti. Does any one want any of them? They will be nice size dry bulbs.

Looking forward to meeting some fellow gardeners! I am bringing some St. Joseph lilies (red amaryllis) and my little daughters.
Lisa

gardenfool_dee

I would love to add your crinum to my collection

See ya in the morning

Thanks,
Debbie

Ladies,
Thank you all for the great swaps! I am excited to get them in the ground. Everyone was so generous and nice. We went to the Dallas Arboretum after and had a blast---I had no idea you could grow peonies here.
The handout I picked up from the Ovilla garden club states Garden Tour June 14, 2008, 10am to 2pm.
Lisa

Thanks for the info Lisa. I enjoyed meeting you and your girls. Let me know when you want to come get some lilies.

I really enjoyed this swap even though it was small. I think that may be what made it really nice for me, I actually got to know you all better. But Donna laughed at me :( cuz I'm old and stiff. lol

I waited at the park until about 1:40 and that lady never came back. But another car came by with two ladies in it and they asked about the swap. I don't know who they were or how they knew, but I told them you all had gone on to Getzendaner and they said they would go there. If the other lady came back, she must have come while we were eating.

What was Getzendaner like?

It was lovely;
we got there just as they were closing up shop, so we hurriedly unpacked our stuff & encouraged people to browse & pick out things, & they were generous with trades, too!

Thanks to all!

Oh I'm sorry I missed it. Maybe next year.
