    molly

  • 19 years ago

    Yes that is it........Sure, we can swap for something.....I don't know what I will have till I get there.....Thanks David in Arlington

  • 19 years ago

    No but I want one too!! I now have weekends OFF!! I'm still po'd that I missed the spring swap. Summer flowering bulbs? Scilla peruviana didn't come back this year, nor did the pineapple lilies. I'll poke around the yard this next couple of weeks & see what I come up with.

    What time does the swap usually run to. We have soccer games until ealy afternoon. I don't want to run all the way up there if it will be over when I get there. Thanks

    Dawn

  • 19 years ago

    We are usually done by 2pm. We have to be cleaned up by 3pm.

    David I'd love some of the Phillipine lily.

    I'm going to go out and look at what I have to dig and pot after I finish mowing. The riding mower won't start, again! Push-mowing 1/2 acre ain't fun. I know I have some of the these:

    garlic chives (who doesn't?)
    copper rainlilies (if it rains again, I'll find them)
    pigeonberry
    elephant ears - some really huge ones
    crinum - Ellen Bosanquet (dk pink), lt pink
    amaryllis johnsonii (St. Joseph's lily)
    pink rainlilies
    native lantana
    small oak trees - think they are pin oak
    Black and blue salvia
    red canna - think they are called indianshot? small bloom
    apricot butterfly ginger

    seeds
    morning glory bush
    indianshot? red canna
    hinkley's yellow columbine
    may have ripe fennel by then

    HI EVERYONE! I was wondering where you were... I was on the exchange page...

    Tally, your emails are bouncing and stay away from MY cookies! HHEHHHEEEE just kidding, I will share 1 if you bring your happy hiney down....

    and if your emails weren't bouncing you would know you have a new neighbor!

    Molly, what do I need to dig up for a formosa lily? It is taller than I am.. hehe

    Can't wait to see everyone!

  • 19 years ago

    Lynn, I would like a apricot Ginger too!!!!!!!!Hey Jennifer, Johnson grass is taller than YOU......David in Arlington

  • 19 years ago

    Jennifer, I'll look for a start of formosa lily for you. I've been trading a lot of these and don't have much left, but I'm sure I can find a bulb for you.
    molly

  • 19 years ago

    Why do my e-mails keep bouncing? It must be you. Did you move down here? Call me!
    David, have I got a crinum for you, grew it from a bulb, it is now about 3-4' tall & blocking the walkway. It was NOT supposed to be that crinum, supposed to be a smaller one. Big white spidery blooms several times a year. IF I can get it dug up, I bet the bulb is the size of a football! Crinum asiactum maybe? Why do your milk & wine only bloom once a year? Mine bloom several times a year.
    Tally HO!

  • 19 years ago

    Boy, do I need to get busy potting. But have to get a pasture fence done first.

    Allen, I'd like some of the yellow iris.
    Kim, save me some banana pups.

    Molly, most of my id tags on the roses have deteriorated, but I can still id a few from their blooms. I can tell Old Blush, Maggie, Svr. de la Malmaison, and Red Rocket. Also have Mutablis and it's full pink sport, Chireno. Are you going to the Rustler's cutting swap on the 13th? Can you save me some bog sage?

    Lynn

  • 19 years ago

    Hey Lynn, Sure I'll take you some bog sage. Don't worry about rose cuttings...I think I have enough to deal with right now. I would love a start of the pigeon berry tho.
    I can't go to the rustler's meeting on the 13th because we have a wedding in Austin that day. I hate that I will miss the meeting.
    molly

  • 19 years ago

    Lynn....got you down for some bananas. They are the blood banana kind, may also have a couple other kinds I can dig, I will check tomorrow. Any chance I could get some of the salvia sineolensis and apricot butterfly ginger?

    Kim
