Oh, this is a good thread! I’m not sure who I got most of my plants from since I’m still pretty new and taking lots of plants for my big garden, but here are a few:

These two...both penstemon?

The orange daylily in the foreground:

And there are many more that I don’t have photos of on my phone! This group has been such a gift, for the knowledge, the company, and the flowers as well. I’m so glad I found you.

Hi Faith,

The penstemons may have been from me. I started a bag of seeds of penstemons when I moved into this house and ended up having to share almost at every swap as the place I have them allows them to spread by roots and seeds. I know many others bring penstemons to the swaps too.

I got some lillies from the swaps that I will have to post some pictures later. I have also gotten many irises from last year and many peonies from lizbest1 over the years that I just love!

The cone-flower is Rudbeckia fulgida. There are seven botanical varieties of this species:

A standout cultivar is 'Goldsturm', but it is not the only one.

The day-lily looks like 'Europa'. The white iris is a Dutch iris.

This daylily came from a swap back in the early 2000s. It's from Catlady's garden. I lost the name years ago. But I did divide it last year so I think one of you may have a piece of it. It's still my favorite.

The hyssop in the center of this picture is from Liz. Last year it grew happily, got to be about 3' tall. This year, it's 5' tall. What? How? It's a monster. No blooms yet but when it does, it's going to be spectacular.

I don't recall whom I got the lily from but the hyssop behind it was from Liz.

Wow, that's a pretty one. Love it!
