If you don't get a response from the forum members, here is another suggestion. Have you considered ordering leaves from some of the upstate NY or northern Jersey vendors? Joanne

Hi, I just did a search and saw your post. I live in the NYC area too and would love to do a trade. I have only semi-miniatures though (mostly because there's no space in my apartment). If you want to do a swap, let me know! My email is 4blossoms at gmail dot com.

Anybody interested in smaller varieties? I live in NYC growing micros. Thanks.

I'm currently collecting semi-mini's. If you have any of those, I can definitely do an exchange. Right now, I've got 3 Optimaras and a couple of Rob's violets that should be arriving next week.

Hi, 4blossoms. I have Rob’s Dandy Lion (fully mature), which would fall into you semi-mini collection. My Watermelon Bay ((9203) 02/03/2003 Lyndon Lyon Greenhouses/Sorano, Semidouble blue-purple star/white frilled edge. Dark green, pointed, pebbled/red back. Semiminiature.) is doing OK and I am thinking I could harvest a couple good leaves for you if you are interested. I also have a few fresh leaves of Blue Jeans Baby. If you like I have a young plant of Bon Bon (a vintage, pink double flowers) I do not have many semi-minis as my growing space is quite limited. Mostly I grow micros or very small minis. If you are interested in very small varieties, let me know.

Hi, 4blossoms. I just wonder how to send you a private message. Your profile may not have been set up that way? Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi ny, I think the private messages function on my account should be working now. For some reason it was set to email from followers only. Currently, I have these semi minis: Optimara "Little Azurite" (I am growing one of its suckers just to learn how to propagate from suckers, so you're very welcome to have the baby plant), Optimara "Little Comanche Girl", and Optimara "Little Tourmaline". The Robs av's (Mad Cat and Cotton Ball) arrived but are plugs and don't have enough leaves yet but I can trade them once they get a little bigger. I have a Ness Satin Rose leaf and could trade some baby plants once they sprout (expected date is late August). Unfortunately, they are semi minis, but let me know if any of them are appealing. Little Comanche Girl doesn't seem to get very large, so it might stay under 6".

Watermelon Bay and Blue Jeans Baby both look very pretty in photos online. If you can part with leaves of either or both I can give them a good home :)
