Thanks!

I don't have much to trade right now, but I'll see what I do have. Mostly miscellaneous unspecified rock garden plants from two mixes from Plant World in England, if anyone's looking for small plants. I may be able to identify some of them to the genus, though.

Other than that, I may have a few rain lily (Habranthus robustus) bulblets available. They are hardy to zone 8, if I remember correctly, but I still have to check to make sure that the side leaves are from bulblets that have formed beside the main bulb. I have two main plants, and neither has flowered yet, but I expect them to be the basic pink. They have never been outside yet either.

Some Corydalis ornata (I have to check, but I think that is the correct species) that just germinated. The seedlings should be ready by the 22nd, but they are still tiny guys at the moment.

here is my tentative trade list-I'll probably make some
adjustments to it in the next few weeks
Pennisetum 'Rubrum' (purple fountain grass) 2x4in-1x6in
Carex 'Bowles Golden' 1x6in
Equisetem hyemale-giant horsetail 1x8in
Asiatic lily 'Cappuccino' -bulbs
heuchera-Silver scrolls 2x 4in
sempervivum-oddity-several "pups"
amaryllis 'Bella donna'-bulbs
helichrysum italicum- curry plant 1-about 8in size
if anyone is interested I have several amaryllis-hippeastrum
2X lemon lime
1x royal velvet
1x aphrodite
1x scarlet baby
1x clown (40+ "mother bulb")

I am interested in succulents (echeveria, semps), agapanthus,
bougainvillea, double helleborus, nephanthes, anything unusual.
I do also need some annuals for my hanging baskets. Terra cotta
pots also considered.

 

Here's a preliminary list of some perennials that I will have available:

Phlomis russeliana
Kirengeshoma palmata
Hosta Royal Standard
Hosta Fragrant Bouquet
Hosta Halcyon
Robust male fern (Dryopteris x complexa 'Robust')
Akebia quinata (1)

Also an epimedium with red/yellow flowers; have to check name.

 

Finally, some nice weather! I was inspired to start my list. (will add items as I work through the garden)

Please let me know asap about trades from this list. I need to divide and pot.

(The last time I had a trade at my house, I went a little crazy digging and dividing on the spot. The result was that I killed a couple of plants and seriously set back several others. Therefore, this time, I am not going to dig or divide on the day of the trade –other than the exceptions indicated below– though I will make notes if anyone is interested in a trade for the fall. Cuttings we can take the day of the trade but I would still like to arrange ahead of time. Thanks!)

• Japanese Maples – three years old. All from seedlings rescued from underneath interesting looking specimans around town.
  
  
• Garden Chives
• Rhubarb
  
  
• Tuscany rose - see picture below
• Crimson red monarda - see picture below
• Blue Chips campanula
• Dwarf Orange Oriental poppy - see picture below
• Coreopsis Moonbeam
• Shasta Daisy - see picture below
• Extra early pinky lilac, yellow eye primrose (it started blooming late January and is still going strong)
• Anthriscus sylvestris
• Violet “Freckles”
• Gypsophila paniculata – white
• Chionodoxa “glory of the snow” (bright blue) – pot of baby bulbs, will bloom in a year or two. Naturalizes.
• Chrysanthemum (hardy): semi double lilac with yellow eye. Very late blooming – late october, early november
• Crocosmia (Dark red, orange or yellow – I grow a mix)
• Siberian Iris: sky blue see picture below
• Japanese Iris: watercolour swirly purple and white.
• Euonymous: green/gold and green/white
• Periwinkle: white flowered

• Cutting – epiphyllum/orchid cactus, see picture below. I don’t know the name. Easy to root. I’d like to trade for another cutting if possible.
  
• Cutting - Forsythia

Special trades only:

• Fully double yellow tree peony – dwarf habit, later blooming (I have this in a half barrel but it needs to be taken out of that container and I do not have a spot in the garden for it. It should go to someone who can take it in a plastic bag/cardboard box and plant immediately in a permanent location on getting home. I have pictures.)
• “Hot Cocoa” Rose – another dig-and-replant-immediately trade. I don’t have the right spot for this rose, but it is certainly unique. see picture below
• Named hostas
• Named daylilies

 

Here's what I have so far.

-Variegated oat grass
- Japanese anemone - pink
-miscellaneous rockery plants incl. various sedums
-wooly thyme
-magic carpet thyme
-irish moss
-vinca major - major periwinkle - purple
-fall asters - mauve
-Gallium odoratum (sweet woodruff)

My mistake. Not corydalis ornata, but dicentra cucullaria (Dutchman's Breeches). Alas I don't think I would be able to make it at all anyway. :(

 

I still hope to make it. I'll bring the following:

Millium effusum 'Aureum'
Helleborus argutifolius
Impatiens glandulifera (invasive annual but good if you need instant gratification!)
lily of the valley

Can also dig up some Cerastium tomentosum if someone wants some groundcover.

 

G'day All...


Being a tree guy...I'm looking for anything that will grow big...that is now small....I'm totally into the Eucalypus scene at the momment but also have an affinity for sequioa's.....

I'll be bringing along a variety of domestic garden plants - azelia's, ferns etc

Cheers

 

Sorry - due to very low confirmed attendance, we are postponing the swap until the fall.

O no, really? Havent been in touch lately, but was going to say I would be trying to scramble some stuff together for on the fly trading and trying to drop in. But was looking short for time due to an irrigation project Im working on.

Id be willing to do some trades with you WCG, or others that are in your reach before fall though. Maybe we can discuss through email. Also have some non plant items Im going to be willing to trade for plant material.
