I am having problems with my ground orchids. They are growing well, but many of the leaves are beginning to brown on the tips progressively yellowing and finally dying. I don't know what to do to get a handle on the problem. At first I thought they might have some pest so I have tried to spray with Insectecidal Soap with no improvement. A gardener friend told me that here in South Florida it is normal for them to do that especially during the winter if the temperatures decrease. Does anyone have any suggestions or know what causes this problem?

Hello - if 'ground orchids' are Bletilla striata, they generally act like typical bulbous plants - growth and flowering, followed by dormancy. They are planted in the ground, correct? Sounds like they are doing what they should be doing in their season. Cheers - Nancy |
I agree with Nancy. Every season my Bletilla leaves die back and then in the early spring come back even better and more of them. |
Ground orchids in this instance might be Spathoglottis but they could also be Phaius. |
Here in Florida, Spathoglottis are often referred to as swamp or ground orchids. They require copious amounts of water. Mine actually sit in water as they're in pots. Since I'm further north than you, and mine are fine, I would question if cold weather is the problem. It's been into the upper 30s several nights this winter. That said, I have "killed" mine only to find they've come back to life in the compost pile, months later. It could also well be a Phaius or even warmth tolerant Cymbidium, which will lose a lot of leaves, while it's growing new leaves. Phaius also needs lots and lots of water. It's easy to forget central and southern Florida are more like a desert in winter, not the tropics, and we really need to water daily. Since you are in Florida, your plant could be a whole lot of things, since we can grow lots and lots of orchids in the ground. But based on your terminology, I'm guessing it's a Spathoglottis. |

Can we get some pics? Do you know what kind of orchid?? Hate "common names" like "ground orchid", thers tens of thousands of different species that it could be and all are grown differently.... |

Strange Love
A look at the Xerces Society
By Joel Preston Smith
Consider the lowly Delhi Sands flower-loving fly. It's a fly. Worse, it's a loner fly, lacking even the nagging sociability of the common housefly. Worse still, it's an ugly fly, with a pea head and bulbous, iridescent green alien eyes bobbing over the distended, dun body of an emaciated cow, teetering on six dwarfish hairy little legs. In its most graceful pose, perched atop a dainty flower, it resembles a fuzzy, sun-bleached turd into which someone has attempted to drive a half dozen copper nails.
Who could love such a bug? That charitable task falls upon Scott Hoffman Black and the staff of the Xerces Society, whose passion is protecting the buzzing, colorful, spineless, creepy, crawly, acid-squirting, tentacle waving, denizens of dirt, water and air—the invertebrates.
Founded in 1971 as a butterfly-conservation group by lepidopterist and nature writer Robert Michael Pyle, the agency vastly expanded its mission after Black, a former oil rigger turned entomologist cum activist, took over as executive director in 2000. Black, along with Mace Vaughan, Xerces' conservation director, envisioned an organization that focused on conserving habitat.
"Some people thought of us as 'those wacky bug nuts,' or 'the butterfly people,'" Black, 51, admits. "When I came on board, land managers were not thinking about invertebrates as a whole. Certainly politicians were not concerned.
We still appreciate butterflies. We love them. But we wanted to work on all creatures that didn't have a voice."
A meaner, greener Xerces emerged—one which wasn't afraid to belly up to the corporate boardroom and preach the gospel of burrowing mayflies, grasshoppers, cave spiders and tiger beetles. Black, sighs, "I went to a lot of meetings with government officials, business people and funders. It wasn't exactly blank stares, but it was close."
After nearly three decades on the fringes of the conservation movement, the newly metamorphosed Xerces Society was vaulted into the public eye by Colony-Collapse Disorder (CCD) among European honeybees. By 2005, European honeybee colonies on the continent were in such a state of decline that, for the first time since 1922, U.S. farmers were forced to import honeybees outside North America. There's been no definitive answer as to the cause, but the U.S. Department of Agriculture has named "new bee pests or parasites, environmental or nutritional stress (and) pesticides" as possible culprits.
The National Research Council, headquartered in Washington, D.C., notes that honeybee pollination, essential to the propagation of at least 90 commercially grown crops, is worth as much as $18.9 billion annually to the U.S. economy. A recent paper by Cornell University and the Xerces Society notes that native pollinators may contribute as much as $3 billion more. Of those, bumblebees appear to be of most concern, with six species listed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as "in decline." One, Bombus franklini, or Franklin's bumblebee, is feared to be extinct in its native range of southern Oregon and northern California, according to Sarina Jepsen, Endangered Species Coordinator for Xerces.
Few farmers could appreciate the value of invertebrates and their advocates more than entomologist and farmer Mike Omeg, who harvests 400-acres of cherry orchards in The Dalles, Ore. To replace the legwork once provided gratis by bees, flies and other pollinators in the Columbia River Gorge, Omeg Farms shelled out $24,000 for roughly 400 rented beehives last April. "Without them, we wouldn't be in business," says Omeg, who earned his master's of science in entomology from Oregon State University in 2001.
Omeg has become something of a crusader for Xerces' Native Pollinator Program, which teaches farmers and landowners the logic of invertebrate conservation, and the practical know-how of cultivating habitat for pollinators. Omeg planted a quarter acre in catnip, blanketflower, goldenrod and other native plants, to create what he terms an insectary–an insect nursery.
"It's hard to quantify the benefits of putting in an insectary," Omeg notes, "because it's difficult to quantify how well the native pollinators are working on our crop. But it's obvious that the more bees we have working in our orchard, the more fruit we get. It's just common sense."
Faced with an economic nightmare—the looming failure of U.S. fruit and berry crops due to declining pollinators—farmers, scientists and the American public are slowly learning to tolerate, if not outright appreciate, the lesser, bestial orders.
"CCD has had a silver lining," Black observes, "in that there's nothing Xerces could have done to get the media attention that CCD gave us. People started thinking about insects, and how we might not eat without them, about what we need to do to preserve them."
Black says it's still not an easy task. "Unlike other issues, like preserving old growth, like protecting salmon, we have to work to even get our foot in the door. We first have to convince them that protecting invertebrates is important."
The Dehli Sands flower-loving fly, is a case in point. The fly is believed to inhabit no more than a dozen small, silty dunes in and around the towns of Colton and Fontana, California, roughly 50 miles east of Los Angeles. When the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) listed the species in 1993 as the first federally protected fly under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), land developers and city officials swelled up, turned blue and descended into anaphylactic shock. Deirdre Bennett, the mayor of Colton, started carrying a giant flyswatter to city functions, and appeared on CNN and at a Congressional public hearing in Colton, waving the swatter menacingly, claiming the insect would be the ruination of her community, that it was stopping the construction of a needed hospital, that it had been seen eating garbage in a vacant lot, that it was impeding economic progress. It should be quashed, along with the ESA and the worthless creatures listed therein.
City officials lobbied Congress to remove protection for the fly, and Congressman Richard Pombo (Republican chair of the House Resources Committee, with oversight of natural resource issues) scheduled a field hearing on the ESA on Sept. 10, 2004 in Fontana.
Terry Wold, conservation program director for the nearby San Gorgonio, Calif. chapter of the Sierra Club, suspected Ponbo would use the fly in an attempt to cripple the Act. So she sent out "a distress signal" to Defenders of Wildlife, the Sierra Club national headquarters, and to Xerces.
"Pombo and Bennett were saying the fly was destroying Colton and Fontana," Wold scoffs. "I mean, it's not Godzilla. It's a fly, for chrissake."
She adds, "I couldn't get the national office of the Sierra Club interested, but I heard from Xerces in two hours." Black promised support, and delivered quickly. When Pombo convened his field hearing four days later, Wold and ESA supporters challenged every allegation against the garbage-munching, tax-thieving, town-killing insect with a series of uncomfortable truths prepared by Xerces and seven other eco groups. Supporters countered that a land trade had already been finalized with the assistance of the USFWS, so that a new hospital could be constructed in Fontana, and that city officials had wasted taxpayer dollars on lobbying Congress to delist the fly (only the USFWS can removed a species from endangered status).
By illustrating the core truths about the fly and the economic realities of Colton and Fontana, Xerces (along with its partners) undermined Pombo's attack on the fly and the ESA. "It was the beginning of the end of them trying to gut the law."
Pombo's end-run failed. He'd earned the ire of ESA supporters throughout California, and in 2006, with organizing efforts of Defenders of Wildlife, Pombo lost his seat to Democratic challenger Jerry McNerney in the only seat overturned that year in California.
Wold says Pombo's demise started with a call from Scott Hoffman Black. The ESA is still intact, and several politicians have learned that the Dehli Sands flower-loving fly does not pitch beer bottles and disposable diapers out the windows of pickup trucks.
Black argues that the fly fracas illustrates the mistake of focus exclusively on "saving a species," especially an unpopular one, when the critical issue is preserving its habitat. "To city officials [in Colton and Fontana], protecting a fly was ludicrous. To us it made perfect sense. We shouldn't be destroying the very last of an ecosystem."
People are starting to listen, Black says, even when Xerces is preaching the salvation of flies. In 2000, Xerces had a staff of three and a budget of $200,000. The agency has grown to 10 full-time staff and operates under a $800,000 umbrella, funded in part by more than 4000 members and foundations such as the Turner Foundation.
"When I started," Black explains, "people didn't understand what we were trying to do —which is preserve all the species within the ecosystem, not just invertebrates. More and more we get calls from people who say, 'We need your help."

Hey all, this thread is for everybody who wants to start thinking about the spring trade.
I'm looking for roses (hybrid tea or floribundas, mostly, but also looking hard for knockouts), creeping fig, pachysandra, vietnamese boxwood, clematis, japanese anemone, toad lilies, hellebores, shade-tolerant groundcovers, herbs and veggies, and much more :) I'm still figuring out what I have for trade, but definitely a few roses, azaleas, nandina, honeysuckle, mondo, etc etc. Will post more as I see what I have. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Marcy, I have four folding chairs that i can bring to the trade. If you need any help let me know. |
- Posted by squirrellypete z7b GA (My Page) on Sun, Jan 22, 06 at 1:36
Hi all. I'm definitely excited about the trade already. Here's a tentative list of what I'll have available. Feel free to contact me for pre-arranged trades: Abelia (possibly 'Edward Goucher') -- rooted cuttings What I'm looking for: Will add more as I remember it. Thanks for viewing & ya'll have a good weekend. Sincerely, Danielle |
- Posted by kathyga_z7 Cumming (My Page) on Sun, Jan 22, 06 at 20:54
Wow Danielle that is quite a list. I can't even remember what I have yet. I always find that I am not prepared until like March, you guys are good. I need to get organized I guess. I can't wait for the trade though. Marcy do you need any ajuga? I have bronze beauty, burgandy glow, and chocolate chip. I also have some golden lysimachia which can take shade but will turn green. I will also try and start some creeping fig for you. |
Danielle, you and I have some serious trading to do. lol I have many of your wants, and you have many of my wants. I'm at work now, but when I get a free bit of time, I'll send another message. |
Did you rob a nursery Danielle? What a list!!! I don't know what all I will be able to bring (if I can attend at all)but, I plan to start some Purple Hyacinth Bean vines, Moon Flowers and Dutchmans Pipe vines(in peat pots for transplanting)this next month. I also have lots more Moon Flower seeds and some more Sago Palm(Cycas revoluta) Seeds to bring. No idea what else I may have by April. Probably more Elephant Ears, Sedum, Salvia guaranitica and if the seeds germinate, Mimosa pudicas (Sensative Plant) which make for an intersting ground cover. |
Danielle, I would like a list of your daylilies by email so that I can see what I have that you don't. Here are the plants I would like from your list. I will start a second post with the plants that I know I will have. I may have more, depending on how the plants do this spring. Let me know which hydrangeas you would like so I can take cuttings now. Okay, these are the plants I would like: |
- Posted by wildflower z7b (My Page) on Mon, Jan 23, 06 at 19:29
Danielle, GREAT LIST! There are several things off your list I'd like to have. It'll take me some time to get a "have" list together though.... Vroomp, if you're able to attend, please save me a dutchman's pipe vine. |
- Posted by squirrellypete z7b GA (My Page) on Tue, Jan 24, 06 at 1:25
Lol, maybe I did overdo it a little. You guys didn't help my budding addiction any last year either. My mom and I had so much fun last year that we've been planning for this swap ever since. I guess I got a little overzealous with my propagation hobby as you can tell. I may have some other things available after the official spring green-up. This is just the stuff I know is still alive & kickin'. Pins2006, I'm e-mailing you my daylily list & we can go over the rest of our wants & haves too. I should be able to get you at least one of everything you were interested in. Ya'll have a good night! Danielle (aka Squirrellypete) |
- Posted by farmerpickle 7B (My Page) on Wed, Jan 25, 06 at 4:53
I'll work on my list lot has to do when spring come and check what's coming back :-). As usual I'll be leaving after class ends close to 11 on Saturday. Can you please post the date/time, Where is the swap if that's decided (no need for address just relative where it is in metro area)? Marcy are you looking for veggies seeds or plants? I should have some seeds. Danielle, gee you have been waiting for this! Like yours : |
- Posted by squirrellypete z7b GA (My Page) on Wed, Jan 25, 06 at 9:28
Hi farmerpickle. I would love any or all of those goodies you offered me! Dahlias need not be named either, so don't sweat that. I should be able to get you everything you wanted as well. I can't remember if my Endless Summer was a 1 gal or 3 but either way I should be able to get you at least a couple of cuttings. I'll try and get em' rooted too before the swap if the temperature and nature herself cooperate. Talk to you later! Sincerely, Danielle |
- Posted by girlgroupgirl 8 Atlanta (My Page) on Wed, Jan 25, 06 at 13:55
Pins, if I can get to the trade I'd be very interested in your verbena! I've been looking for those two. I have no idea what I will have for trade. I'm working on LOTS of things. If I can get this heat mat to work, chances are I'd have even more stuff to bring too, if I can make it. I will definately have some cannas, purple mexican petunias, "Curly" ivy that is much more well behaved than most ivy (great in perennial pots), creeping strawberry begonia, and boltonia asteriodes. Of course, will have MUCH more than that. Lots of seed is in...but that's what I can think of for now. Danielle, I have MANY MANY things on your list, both in "stock" now and seeded. Please email me and we can discuss! GGG |
If the seeds that have already sprouted make it until the end of April I'll have some codonopsis mollis, some codonopsis clemetidea, some unnamed hostas. Needless to say, all of them will be small, but the codonopsis I started last year bloomed the first year, so you might end up with tiny blooming vines. I also have one small start of Himalyan box. If I'm lucky, I'll also have some arisaema seedlings. |
GGG, I don't have the verbena - it's on the list of what I want from Danielle. Sorry that I wasn't clear on that. Sugarhill, your codonopsis both look great. Is there anything on my trade list that you would like in exchange? |
The first of my winter planting in my greenhouse have come up. Assuming none of them die, this is what I have so far: Gray Headed Coneflower Golden Curly Grass Peony Poppy-Double Pink Red Poppy Red Castor Bean African Daisy Calendula-yellow/orange Invlan Helenium Purple Orchid Tree Poor Man's Orchid (Schizanthus Pinnatus) Agastache-white Agastache Foeniclum-Anise Hyssop Unknown Sunflower Court & Jester Mums French Marigold Malvia Sylvestris-pink & purple English Marigold-yellow Many more seeds planted, just not up yet. Most of these I have never seen, I got the seeds through swaps. Also, I will look around the garden to see what I can divide. Jayman |
farmerpickle, I am interested in the Double Decker cone. I'll let you know what I have later. So please hold at least a couple for me if you can. Thanks. |
- Posted by squirrellypete z7b GA (My Page) on Mon, Jan 30, 06 at 10:04
Hi vnginger. That 'Double Decker' Coneflower was actually what farmerpickle wanted off of my list. I will probably have a couple more available to trade so I'll be glad to put you down for at least one if you like. Danielle |
hey all :) Sorry for taking awhile to respond to some of you, but some family business had me out of town for a bit. Anyway, here goes: squirrelypete, i have several azaleas for trade.... i believe they are all the same kind, with dark-green smallish leaves and smaller deep-pink to red flowers. however, i also have a whole bed of them that might have to be removed because a neighbor took out some trees and removed their shade. i'll be upset if they have to come out but there's nowhere else they could go.... those are larger-leafed and -flowered, i think a light pink. kathyga, i'd be more than happy to take some creeping fig and ajuga off your hands :) and is lysimachia the same as creeping jenny? ... what might you like in trade? farmerpickle, i'm looking for veggie and herb plants when possible, or seeds of winter and fall-sown crops. i'd also be very interested in your red spider lilies or grape hyacinth. jayman, your whole list has me drooling :) but particularly the grayheaded coneflower, purple orchid tree, both agastaches, and african daisy. pins2006, i have two small, very well-rooted lady banks yellow. and i've started a lot of seeds... i'm waiting to see what kind of germination i get, but will post as i know. also i have a few variegated agaves to trade, several azaleas as described above, if squirrelypete desn't want them, a young magnolia tree free to anyone with a strong back who cares to dig it out, forsythia, bamboo, and a few geraniums that have flowers almost the color and shape of fuschias... dunno what kind they are, but the flowers are spectacular- we special-ordered them at work for some millionaire who was on a garden tour, but they ran out of room in their greenhouse. i'm also looking for cinderblocks, landscape timbers, a pond pump, statuary, pavers, railroad ties, growlights, plastic shelving, patio furniture, benches, and particularly flowerpots or planters or half-whiskey barrels. and again, shade plants, like hellebores, toad lilies, japanese anemones, colorful hydrangeas, pachysandra, etc etc. |
squirrellypete, Thanks. That would be great. I am also looking for thornless raspberries and black berries if anyone can trade. Please email me. Thank you. |
- Posted by squirrellypete z7b GA (My Page) on Mon, Jan 30, 06 at 20:23
Hi Marcy. I would love the azaleas you have available. If there are other people out there who want some too then by all means spread the wealth lol. But I can take any extras that aren't claimed. I am sorry about your other azalea bed too. Maybe they will do okay -- some varieties seem to contend well with the sun. If not though I will be glad to give them a new home. Please LMK if there's anything from my list you'd like in exchange. I may have a few extra clay pots I can bring you. If memory serves they're just plain ordinary clay pots but I'll double check them and they're yours if you want them. Sincerely, Danielle |
- Posted by girlgroupgirl 8 Atlanta (My Page) on Tue, Jan 31, 06 at 0:20
Marcy, I should have more shade plants to trade. I've got some for Squirrelypete. I seeded a ton of shade lovers. Cross your fingers! I am also growing herbs from seed, as usual. Should have annuals and perennials. Some very unusual items you can't buy at most local nurseries. GGG |
Jayman, if you have extras, could I trade for some Agastache-white Agastache Foeniclum-Anise Hyssop Malvia Sylvestris-pink & purple Please let me know what you would like from my list. I will be adding to my list as spring gets closer. |
- Posted by kathyga_z7 Cumming (My Page) on Tue, Jan 31, 06 at 16:59
Marcy as I mentioned in my emails, I would love the Vielchenblau you mentioned in a different post if it si not spoken for and maybe a pinata. I'll see wht I can do with the creeping fig (the two I tried to start last fall didn't make it, but I can start some new ones. I can definitely bring some ajuga, and yes lysimachia is creeping jenny/moneywort. Mine is the golden. |
Hey Danielle, I definitely have at least 3 azaleas you can have, and we'll see how the other patch does :) I would be very interested in your doubledecker coneflowers (if there's any left), lamb's ear, pink hydrangeas... and is your veronica the blue kind that gets big? GGG, herbs and shade plants sound heavenly. Also, I'm back in town and have that rose for you whenever it would be convenient to meet up :) Kathy, I think my emails to you have been going awry. The pinata is yours if you like, but the vielchenblau's promised elsewhere. Dunno why the email's not getting through- sorry! |
also, i have 4 mahonias (sp?), and several roses- quite a few of The Fairy, and a few climbing cecile brunners, and a rooted cutting of Anderson, and an unnamed red OGR and an unnamed pink OGR. i'm still deciding whether to keep the mahonias but it seems quite likely i won't :) |
- Posted by wildflower z7b (My Page) on Fri, Feb 3, 06 at 18:36
Marcy, PLEASE save a Cecile Brunner for me...I don't have a list together so you'll have to e-mail me and tell me exactly what you're looking for. I have about 150 named daylilies, and 20 or so different brugs. I know you mentioned hellebores, which I have plenty of, plus I've got a lot of other intersting shade plants... |
- Posted by plants4meuc Ga zone 7 (My Page) on Tue, Feb 7, 06 at 12:46
I'm interested. I had missed this past fall trade do to a sick baby but I plan on attending this one. Some things I have: Bignonia Capreolata Other stuff I just can't remember it all right now. Some things I would like to have Lunaria annua Cath |
- Posted by girlgroupgirl 8 Atlanta (My Page) on Tue, Feb 7, 06 at 16:43
Cath, I planted a LOT of lunaria thanks to a nice trader who gave me seeds the last trade. They are all coming up. If I get to the trade, I will bring you some plants. girlgroupgirl |
Cath, I have some tricyrtis hirta just now sprouting. If they do well and make it until April, I can bring you a couple. |
hey wildflower, i'll email you tonight about the roses :) and i've been informed i can have some japanese honeysuckle bushes if i like, so if anyone's interested in those just let me know so i can get 'em. |
- Posted by kathyga_z7 Cumming (My Page) on Thu, Feb 9, 06 at 20:41
Marcy-- Japanese Honeysuckle is a horribly invasive plant. It is a constant battle to try and keep it from destroying the wooded area behind my house. This is one plant I beg of you not to give to anyone and to try your best to eradicate it from all known locations. It is impossible to keep in check as the birds transport the seeds everywhere. I have had to cut it off so many twisted gnarled trees it is amazing how aggressive it is. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Japanese Honeysuckle
Thanks for the warning, kathy :) But this must be a different variety, unless I have the name wrong. It's not a vine at all, but a shrub, which is growing quite docilely in a loose hedge at one of the gazillionaires' properties where i work... has a habit something like forsythia, but more upright. It's got amazing flowers right now, and smells fantastic. |

I don't think I will be able to attend a spring plant trade because my wife is due to deliver around the end of April (it's a boy and his name will be Granger). Everyone please check my list and see if we can trade. I'm a few minutes outside of LaGrange, right on the state line. I travel for business from LaGrange to the east metro, to Dawsonville/Gainesville and up to Toccoa/Lavonia so in person trades are okay. (BTW, anyone know what Granger means in french?) |

Just FYI I'm back in town so if anyone needs to e-mail me about trades feel free. Marcy, I'll gladly take the three azaleas. And I'm pretty sure I have another Double Decker Coneflower for you. You can definitely have some lambs ear and the Tardiva pink hydrangeas. The mature 'Royal Candles' Veronica I had last year was about 2 feet tall if I remember correctly when in bloom. It is the upright type with bottlebrush-like flower spikes and it is a very dark purple/blue. They bloom for such a long time too. Just to let everyone know in case they didn't -- the Tardiva pink Hydrangea (at least the one I have) blooms white and then fades to pink as it ages. Happy trading everyone. Sincerely, Danielle |
Congratulations stanreese! We too are expecting a boy, but in May. I am still considering coming to the trade, but I need to be realistic about how much digging and planting I can do at 8-9 months pregnant! I looked up your farmer boy Granger. Nice name. :) Pam |
Danielle, that all sounds wonderful :) I'll take anything you want to get rid of. congrats to stanreese and pam! kathy, I'll get the roses potted up and set aside for you. I'll take whichever ajuga you think is pretty, as i don't know the difference. thanks :) and thanks to kathy for correcting my mistake :) the correct name for what i was talking about is Winter Honeysuckle, not japanese. Here's a review of it I found online: Winter honeysuckle is a tough, long-lived shrub that blooms in late winter, often bearing ice-covered blooms. Extremely fragrant, often perfuming entire neighborhoods, the flowers are rather small and inconspicuous. The shrub is best used along woodland edges and out of the way corners as it is not attractive enough to be used as a singular speciman planting. The fragrance of the flowers more than compensate for this however, as does its extreme toughness and ability to survive. Evergreen in the South, it is deciduous further north. Often found in old cemeteries and around old home sites. Although it can withstand drought and can be used in xeriscapes, it benefits from feeding and water. Will not tolerate bad drainage and wet feet. |

I'll have some plastic pots, small seed starting kind to gallon size, 2 or 3 gallon sizes. And these plants so far, links to their pictures are on my trade page. # Boltonia asteroides 'Snowbank' # Daylily yellow # Dayliliy Double Orange # Tall Breaded Iris # Star of Betheham Any one has a small start of the Florida Flame (yellow) Azalea? Or miniature iris? BTW I have been successfully holding back my urges to buy plant/seeds. So far this year I trully has not spent a penny! That's historical for me! |
i am looking for three Miss Kim lilacs - anyone help me. I have a ton of Mazus, creeping dianthus, aster, and artemesia. Let me know |
Bmmalone, I'd love to have some creeping dianthus and an aster. What kind of artemesia do you have? Do I have anything that you would like? I will be posting more as the plants break dormancy. |
Vroomp! I would love a dutchmans pipe vine. What are you looking for this year? Timeto go out and see what I have to divide. |
- Posted by girlgroupgirl 8 Atlanta (My Page) on Wed, Feb 15, 06 at 12:03
I have Boltonia "Snow Bank" (gee, where did FarmerPickle get hers??, lo "weird euphorbia" - SPREADS likes part-sun (Have never found out what kind this is) "curly ivy" which is evergreen and not invasive like some other ivies. Excellent for containers and window boxes. I will have cannas (these do not need trades, and I can let you know what they are if you are interested. Most are pretty common) Hymenocallis: Peruvian Lilies TB iris: China Dragon which is similar to Firebreather (orange) but blooms slightly earlier. White perennial candytuft That's all I could manage so far. More will be listed as time goes along! GGG |
pins, you have mail |
- Posted by farmerpickle 7B (My Page) on Wed, Feb 15, 06 at 21:21
Think think .. could the snowbank be from Glynis. Oh yea!!! And lots of other goodies from that tall long haired girl! |
- Posted by girlgroupgirl 8 Atlanta (My Page) on Thu, Feb 16, 06 at 15:50
Marcy: I'd be interested in one Japanese honeysuckle. I am still looking for things to fill up my "way back" area. Especially scented!! I will have more things as time goes along, including some shade lovers for you!! GGG |
Here is my trade list so far. I know I will have these, and will have more later in the spring. Annabell Hydrangea rooted cuttings Let me know what you'd like. |
Okay, so far I know I will have divisions of the following available: Toad Lilly aka Tricyrtis hirta 'Miyazaki' Maybes: Zagreb coreopsis seedlings |
Snoogie I would like to have some more Toad Lillies and could use the Stoksia also. I have yet to print a full list as most of my seedlings are small and weak. I lost power to my greenhouse last week while I was out of town and it seems to have taken quite a toll on the smaller seedlings. I will probably have some hosta divisions and plenty of large EEs but am unsure of Dutchmans Pipe Vines now. I also will be starting several large varieties of Mornning Glory, Blood Flower (Asclepias currasavica) and Moon Flower Vines, but it's a bit early yet as they get big fast. |

Darn, darn! I will be in NY the Saturday of the trade. I know ya'll will have a great time! I'm like Vroom- I have lots of plants potted up to trade. Any recommendations as an alternative? Thanks! Brenda |
hey, all :) cath- yes, by all means! and if there's anybody would like to be in charge of the food i'd be very grateful. bmmalone, i would be interested in a whole lot of mazus if you have it to trade :) pins- i'm interested in toad lilies and hellebores snoogie- i'd be interested in toad liles and euphorbia Gottahosta, i'm pretty sure i have the day before the trade off from work, and even if i don't, you're more than welcome to stop by beforehand and drop off trades, and pick them up later. i know it's not the same, but better than nothing, right? :) |
- Posted by gottahosta NE_GA7b (My Page) on Mon, Feb 20, 06 at 11:06
Hey, Marcy Thanks- that's a doable solution! Does mean you'll have to babysit my trades for a while, tho! I will not be able to stop on my way home from the airport!! I'll post my trade list later! Brenda |
marcy, I have mazus for you (not sure how much yet) I still liriope, it anyone has any. I also need three Ms Kim lilac trees (OK - I doubt if anyone has any! But i really do need these, so does anyone know if they are in the stores yet?) |

Here's what I have so far. Plant trade list Spring 2006 **Epimediums/rhizomes I'm interested in: (Don't want much, do I? LOL!) Brenda |
Gottahosta, I sure would like to get my hands on some of those Halcyon and Lemon Lime Hostas, along with the Crocosmia corms and Toad Lillies. I may have some Spider Lillies left if I can remember where I planted them. They are white Hymenocalis. |

Vroomp Are your Hymenocalis bulbs tender? - doesn't sound like it if they are still in the ground. And they are not in the Lycoris family, looks like! Any more info on them? Are you raising any good varieties of tomatoes and green pepper plants in yur green house- I would trade for some of those! And a Moonflower vine or two! Farmerpickle, do I have anything listed you might like? Please add transcandia/ blue/ limited white and maroon, to my trade list. I also have a limited amount of trilliums (white), wild iris (blue) wild geranium (blue-ish pink), and native Jack in the Pulpits, all rescued from my own woods- let me know if interested. Brenda |
- Posted by squirrellypete z7b GA (My Page) on Thu, Feb 23, 06 at 1:35
Hi Gottahosta. I see you have maroon and limited white tradescantia. I would love to work out a trade if they're still available. Please LMK if there's anything on my trade list you might be interested in swapping those for. And if not, don't worry about it =) G'night all. Danielle |
- Posted by gottahosta NE_GA7b (My Page) on Fri, Feb 24, 06 at 18:50
Hey, all I'm removing my tricyrtis from my trade list. Chris from Hallson's Nursery got suspicious about consistantly inconsistant markings on the flowers of certain varieties, and then the coloring spread to other plants- sorry, it doesn't kill the plants and not all varieties are victim to it but I can't knowingly spread it to others!! |
Hey. I'm not talking much because as usual I just can't be so planned so far in advance. But I will be there, and I will organize the food. Look for a thread about this next month, I guess. Brenda, I am going to be growing vegetables including Burbank Red Slicing Tomato (certified organic, heirloom). It is a determinate tomato. Let me know if you're interested and are going to be able to do that "before and after" thing and we can trade for any one of your epimediums? FYI, I am also planning on growing: Rose |

Hi all. A little bit of bad news regarding my swaps. I am taking my daylily varieties off my trade list for now because I am concerned many have developed daylily "leaf streak" fungus. Many varieties that looked green and healthy a short time ago are now starting to develope some foliar problems. This does not appear to be daylily rust which is good news. No orange substance is coming off from the underside of the leaf which is apparently the telltale sign of rust. I am going to begin treatment for this immediately and have e-mailed the two people who I had already agreed to give daylilies to. I am told daylily leafstreak disease is fairly common but I've never noticed it in my garden until now. If anyone has any of their own advice regarding treatment I would appreciate any suggestions. I am still happy to trade with anyone who wants my daylilies but you need to be aware of the problem they are having. I am going to shear back the new growth almost to the crown and then start a spray program. This will set their growth this season back a little but I am hoping any signs of the disease will be gone by trade time. Please e-mail me with any questions. Sincerely, Danielle |
My Spider Lillies are Hymenocallis x festalis (a cross of longipetala and narcissiflora) I believe they used to be called 'Ismene' in some books. They are white, smell great, get about 30" tall with wide strap shaped leaves. Don't require more than 4-5 hours of sun. Mine are on the west northwest exposure of my home and have been in the ground for five years so don't believe tenderness guide. Leaf still looks good long after flower is gone. They bloom late in summer. Need to know more? Here's a link and pic too. |

Rosie It's a deal on the Burbank Tomato for epimedium- PM me to work out details! Please-- anyone who may have received a toadlily from me last Fall plant swap, check out Chris' article on Hallson's forum, to see if you may have received an infected variety from me. I did get my infected plants form Chris last year! So sorry, but nobody knew, as you'll see from his article. http://www.perennialnursery.com/tricyrtisvirus.html also: http://www.perennialnursery.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=38623&sid=1a75d83286eb66d01e5a8dfccf462695 Brenda |
Hey all, I've been in and out on here again because of things like no furnace (it rusted through) taking precedence :P But like always, I have LOTS of the big plants (cast irons, yellow iris, etc) that are on my trade list available. Now I just have to see if I can get things in shape to make it to this next one. I'm so excited that it's warming up this week! |
- Posted by girlgroupgirl 8 Atlanta (My Page) on Mon, Feb 27, 06 at 18:54
Pardon me for being a spaz, but did we decide on the 5th weekend of April: April 29th at 11am? I can bring a vegetarian gluten free entree of some sort for lunch. This time I am probably bringing my hubby too :) GGG |
When I've looked at the threads about plant swaps I've been interested, but I haven't really had anything to trade. But a couple of weeks ago I discovered the winter sowing forum, and I went a little crazy! If my suff comes up and does as well as the winter sowing forum advertises, I may have some stuff to trade. It will be ordinary, but it will be plants! Would that be ok? Also, do I need to arrange trades in advance, or do I just show up? |
- Posted by girlgroupgirl 8 Atlanta (My Page) on Thu, Mar 2, 06 at 12:49
Hi WOody: Please come. I will have extras if I have anything you'd like. Part of the trade is meeting your local gardeners :) GGG |

Vroomp, I would like to try some sago palm seed. I don't have a green house but can overwinter them inside. Do they need any other special treatment? Are they hard to raise from seed? Do you need any more sedum 'Autumn Joy'? Jayman, I would like to try your Poor Mans Orchid. Do I have anything on my list that interests you? Pins, I have blue false indigo and would like to trade some for your Annabelle hydrangea. Farmerpickle, I would love to pick up some of your pots. I have rooted cuttings (2-year old) of false indigo and 1-year old 'Endless Summer' hydrangea and miniature irises. Plants I have to trade: I am going to list my trades with the hopes that all of my plants will be up and healthy by April. I am offering these up for special trade and will only bring a portion of them for general trade. Plants I want: Linda Gail |
Lindagail, I have had some measure of success with the Sago seeds. They take from 3 weeks to 60 days to germinate depending on temp. I gave a couple seedlings away at last trade and I believe GGG got one of them. Perhaps she and whoever got the other one can post how they did after they recieved them. They do not require any particular special attention, just a well draining soil mix and some warmth. Place the bare seeds as they would fall naturally on the ground and cover half way with soil. Soaking in water makes the fruit easier to remove from the seeds. I have about 20 left to give away from my female Sago. |
Linda Gail, good trade. I may have some pussy toes to trade. I'm not sure if they are "evergreen" (funny, since they are silver), but if they aren't I need to wait to see if they come up. If they do, I'd like to trade for a creeping gardenia. |
- Posted by girlgroupgirl 8 Atlanta (My Page) on Sun, Mar 5, 06 at 19:51
I have updated my trade page. Check out the link below for a listing of the plants I am now offering. I am interested in some camellia cuttings. So far I have had a lot of luck rooting the cuttings. Also looking for someone to see if they can start a dwarf white quince shrub??? GGG |

Glynis I love to have your ryan's yellow chrysanthemum. The pink one is gorgious. I hope the yellow will bloom just as well! |
I have a Cleopatra Camelia if you would like some cuttings. |
Hey Woody, I'm bringing stuff from winter sowing and not arranging trades in advance - mostly there's nothing I want in advance. So I'll have some stuff to swap with you. If your stuff doesn't come up in time, I'll give you some stuff anyway. I sowed way more than I need. The first time I went to the swap I had only one thing to swap. I still had a good time meeting people. Show up. |
if i haven't answered anybody's posts addressed to me, please let me know :) i've been spending so much time on my yard lately (the pressure's on now that y'all are coming over!) that i haven't been paying proper attention, and i'm afraid with all the posts i may have missed something. i have some unidentified climbing roses to trade, and a Belinda. Also Rose of Sharon, and a few Mahonias. I'll have LOTS more stuff and in much greater variety starting in April. Am specially looking for strawberries, evergreen clematis, creeping fig, pachysandra, hardy herbs, blueberries, mazus in quantity, paving stones, stone suitable for the lip of a pond, large flowerpots (esp. glazed ones in blues, greens, white or purples), soaker hoses, tasteful garden sculpture or fountains, benches, hanging lanterns, etc etc. Oh, and hydrangeas (the bigger the better) and anything suitable for a nice shade garden. |

Updating list: Couple of things I'm adding to the list for anyone interested: Only have 1 or two fans of each of those two daylilies so if interested contact me soon. Some good news is the other daylilies that have been in my garden have responded well to the anti-fungal spraying and I think they will be good to go by trade. Thanks! Squirrellypete |
- Posted by squirrellypete z7b GA (My Page) on Thu, Mar 16, 06 at 19:32
OK, even more additions: 'Little Cadet' Daylily Ya'll have a good night. Sincerely, Squirrellypete |
I've been absent, for the most part, from this discussion of items available for the spring trade. I don't seem to have much this year! However, I do plan to come, and a few things are showing up in pots where I thought had nothing. For instance, the kolkwitzia cuttings, otherwise known as beautybush, that I took last year and thought didn't root, are putting out fresh green leaves right now. But who wanted them? It looks like at least two, maybe three, stems are alive, but I think the safest thing may be to leave them all together in the same pot and give them to the same person. In fact I'd recommend that person (if someone still wants this bush) plant them together and let them grow as a multistemmed bush, which is actually how I think it naturally grows, anyway. So, if someone particularly wants this plant, please let me know so I can mark it with your name beforehand. Otherwise I'll just bring it for the general trade. |

Lindabeth, I have HORDES and HORDES of green loriope! So far I've filled two huge trash cans and an extra large tree bin. I'm only 1/2 way done. How much do you need? :) GGG |
Squirrellpete, could I have some balloon flowers? I just love them. If anyone has some, I'd love some brunnera and pulmonaria. Marcy, I have strawberries and mazus. It is growing into the grass, but it looks wonderful with the tiny flowers. |

Nobody has really asked me for much in trades. Since I have to travel a longer distance for this trade, I will not be bringing the same quantities of plants as I normally do. Maybe you are all just sick of what I have to offer, lol. But if I have something you want, please speak up so that you may have the chance to get it. Both my seeds and plants are listed here: http://members.gardenweb.com/members/exch/girlgroupgirl This does not include in coming seedlings, annuals, and many other things I hope to germinate (and grow) in the next month. Please check back. I will be posting as they arrive. GGG |
Girlgroupgirl - I always love to trade with you, but I have been holding off posting my haves/wants until I have a better idea of how successful my wintersowing will be. But I'll go ahead and tell you what I am interested in, and then we can figure out what I can bring for you in return. I would like some of your strawberry begonia, some angelina sedum (you gave me some last year; I really like the color of this one), and maybe the "weird" euphorbia (sounds interesting). I don't know if I have any of your specific wants, but I can always bring you another small hosta, a small fern or something along those lines. I'll post a more complete list of my haves soon. Uli (garischa) |
- Posted by girlgroupgirl 8 Atlanta (My Page) on Wed, Mar 22, 06 at 11:00
Uli: You may certainly have what you want. I'd be very happy with any hardy fern, especially evergreen. I am up to my ears in hosts. I am growing about 200 from seed this year!!! GGG |

- Posted by squirrellypete z7b GA (My Page) on Tue, Mar 28, 06 at 20:33
Judging by the number of posts I've made I think I must be getting greedier lol. Does anyone have an abundance of "Stella De Oro" or "Happy Returns" or any other reliable reblooming daylily that they would like to trade me for? Heck, I'd even love the old orange or yellow ditch lilies too if anyone has extras. Figured if anyone's interested we could either swap at the trade or I could even come to your place one day and do the digging as long as it isn't clear across the state. My father-in-law asked me to landscape his new house but didn't exactly provide the funds needed to do it all so I'm going to give the barter system a try lol. I was able to purchase some decent shrubs for foundation plantings but it's a large lot that I think could really benefit from a good daylily population even if they aren't the fancy ones. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Sincerely Squirrellypete |

- Posted by squirrellypete z7b GA (My Page) on Thu, Mar 30, 06 at 20:06
Hi Sharon. Glad you will be attending. You mentioned you wanted Verbena -- would good old fashioned Homestead Purple do the trick? The butterflies are crawling (or rather fluttering) all over mine right now. I can always use more Iris in the landscape if you would like to trade. Just LMK. Sincerely, Squirrellypete |
Sharon - I can bring some variegated solomon seal for your golden raspberry. I also have bloodroot and heucheras. Please let me know. Thanks. Uli |
Squirrellypete, I have some orange ditchlilies and some yellow stellas for your father. I would love some Homestead verbena if you have extras. |
- Posted by sharon_ga_zone7 (My Page) on Fri, Mar 31, 06 at 18:37
Hi Squirrellypete & Uli, I would love any verbena, solomon's seal, bloodroot & heucheras! I'll bring you all some irises & golden raspberries. Thanks, PS I was just in the yard & we seem to have a bunch of lillies too. I would have to see if I can find some digital pics to let you know the color. If anyone is interested... |
- Posted by squirrellypete z7b GA (My Page) on Fri, Mar 31, 06 at 20:09
Hi Sharon. Sounds good to me. I'd also be interested in seeing what color lilies you have. Are they daylilies or real lilies? Pins, I have plenty of Homestead Purple Verbena to share with you as well. And my FIL will LOVE to get the daylilies so thank you. Everyone enjoy their weekend! Sincerely, Squirrellypete |
- Posted by sharon_ga_zone7 (My Page) on Sun, Apr 2, 06 at 11:01
Squirrellypete, Went thru the photos & can't find any of that patch! Sorry. We don't think they are daylilies.... perhaps they will bloom by the Trade? -Can you get some of your friends out of our attic? I think they've set up an acorn bar. Bye |
- Posted by squirrellypete z7b GA (My Page) on Sun, Apr 2, 06 at 21:47
No problem Sharon. I'm sure they're pretty whatever they are. I'm afraid I can't help you with your attic though -- I'm the black sheep (er...squirrel) of the family so the others don't listen to me. They think I'm nuts hehe (Okay, I know that was bad). Sincerely, Squirrellypete |

I'm looking for few fragrant plants, such as lavender, evening stock, nicotiana, lemon verbena, jasmine etc. Since my postings are scartered, I'll keep my trade page as the central place for what I have for the swap. |
- Posted by girlgroupgirl 8 Atlanta (My Page) on Mon, Apr 3, 06 at 14:25
Wenny, I have a lavender in a gallon pot. It's a "regular" lavender (I don't know what kind, but the kind that grows successfully here). You may have it. I cut it all the way back and it is filling out again. Should look pretty good by the time of the plant trade. You can have it. GGG |
Well, finally I can say that I will be at the trade for sure. I have been given permission to miss one softball game on Saturday so I will be there. I might even bring something to eat too. Unfortunately Aristolochia seeds (Dutchman's pipe Vine) are taking a while to germinate so they may not be ready in time, but I have more seeds for those who wish to try them. I think only Snoogie and Wildflower wanted them. Gottahosta, I cannot determine where exactly the Spider Lillies are yet as they are not up yet. As soon as they are up I will happily dig one or two up for you. Lindagail, I have Sago Seeds for you aplenty. I also have more Hens and Chicks if you need some more. Sure would love those Bluebells you have. GGG, I still have a Red Banana for you that has wintered in the greenhouse waiting to go home with you since last fall. I will be bringing it along. SquirrellyPete, I have saved you for last. For you I have Pink Astilbe, some Muscari bulbs, a large antique metal scythe blade and 11 Wrought Iron Compound Fleure-De-Lis Styled inserts that measure approximately 20" by 10". Which just happens to be enough to create a 36" diameter circle around a favorite tree or shrub. If you want all that! All I would like is everything on your list. Just kidding! That would be too much like work to plant all that. However, I would love to get some hardy Hibiscus if not 'syriacus', some golden Guara and Lilly Bulbs that aren't orange (I have too many of those now). I plan to bring very little other than seeds for Moon Flower Vine, Purple Hyacinth bean Vine, Blood Flower(Asclepias currasavica)annual here, and a variety of Morning Glory Seeds too. Here's my wimpy list: 2 white Angel Trumpets (from seed in fall) What I want: |

Vroom: I can offer at least one medium sized hosta which would be a division of a hosta Uli gave to me a few years ago. I'm pretty sure it came from Uli and it's Golden Tears. Lime green leaf with golden edge. I bet I have more minis. Some are late coming up. I also will have LOTS and I mean lots of really gorgeous mini and other hosta in the fall...I started them from seed. Do you need any plain green hosta white white scented flower...siboldiana? Can't wait for banana... ALL: I am looking for Mondo grass. Not the dwarf type, and not loriope (Monkey grass, I have that out the wazoo). I need the longer sort of "weeping" Japanese mondo grass, and I need a LOT of it. I'd be happy to trade some goodies with you for the mondo. I have a slope that needs to be covered with the stuff to stop the weeds. GGG |
pins, i would ADORE some strawberries and mazus. do you know what color the mazus flowers are? |

Hi Glynis. I just create another bed around the patio so I'm filling in some fragrant stuff there. Lavender would be great. Vroom I'll have Sedum Autumn Joy, since you speak up you can have it :-)! Wenny |
Thanks Wenny! I am sorry I don't seem to have anything on your list. How about some nice metal Pig Lanterns for candles? |

Hi everybody. I was waiting until I knew for sure I could make it to the swap before posting. I hope I'm not too late to get in on some action. I will work on revamping my lists and you guys will hear from me again very soon! I had such fun last time. Looking forward to it again and staying for lunch this time! Heather |
I'm getting very close to filling in my shady backyard with stuff. Still need about to fill about 20 spots though. Also, I'm bringing a friend who is starting to do the same. So any part-sun to full shade plants would be appreciated. To give in trade I have dozens of hellebore seedlings growing around their parents, oakleaf hydragea cuttings (generic, Alice, Snow Queen, and Pee Wee), some blue lacecap hydrangea cuttings, purple hyacinth bean seeds, a few moon vine seeds. A couple of big leaf magnolias saplings. From the mildly invasive list: morning glorybower and japanese bush honeysuckle. Sorry, not able to give as much as I'd like to receive. |
Here are my lists: Haves: Wants: I can send photos of pretty much everything on my haves list. Thanks for looking. |

Hi guys does anyone have a fairy rose that is at least about a 1 gallon size? I moved mine and one died. I am also looking for limelight Hydrangea and a Penny Mac. If so email me and I will see what I may have from your "wishlist" A lot of what I have is stuff I can steal a little of if requested, but I probably won't dig up for the genral trade. I am really unorganized this year so I still don't have much of a list put together, I won't be bringing a whole lot, but that is my focus for this week, getting things potted up to trade. I have my trades on my page, but I will walk the yard today and see what I can add and hopefully update it again tonight. Here are the things I would like that you all have offerred let me know what you would like in return if you have any of this left. Danielle, is it too late to get one of your 'Tardiva Pink' Hydrangea -- rooted cuttings and a varigated wiegelia? Also is the Walker's Low catmint still available? I have honeycomb butterfly bush I could bring you a couple of cuttings if you tell me what you need exactly, I have never tried rooting one and since we are so close to the trade it would probably be pointless, I will cut them fresh that morning for you. I can also bring you some burgandy bearded iris if you think it won't hurt the clump for me to cut off a section right now, they are still blooming so I don't want to dig up the whole thing. Pins do you still have any of the variuos rooted hydrangea cuttings? I would love a Penny Mac as I mentioned as well as an Annabelle and if Marcy doesn't have a Tardiva still I would take that as well. Beautyberry would also be wonderful. Glynis do you still have any of the wierd Euphorbia you mentioned? Also interested in some of the Van Sion Daffs and Santa Barbara Daisy, I can bring you some various camelia cuttings and Becky shasta daisy as well as a baby red tinged hens and chicks. Linda Gail I have some lemon verbena if you still need it and I think you mentioned hostas, I have some unnamed varigated ones. I would love any of the following that you still have available Spanish bluebells, minature iris, Strawberry Shamrock, Ninebark, Jasmine "winter Beauty" Farmer Pickle is the Blackberry Lily still available? Barb still have extra Mazus? I would love what you can spare. RDhanson-- If they are still available I am interested in magnolia saplings and oakleaf Hydrangea cuttings (any really but specifically Pee Wee) |
- Posted by kathyga_z7 Cumming (My Page) on Sat, Apr 22, 06 at 16:47
If anyone has ony of these items please let me know if it is not too late to trade Plants I am looking for: I promise to post my updated my "have list" by tomorrow at the latest. |
- Posted by squirrellypete z7b GA (My Page) on Sat, Apr 22, 06 at 23:54
Hey Kathy. I still have the 'Tardiva' Hydrangea, variegated Weigelia & 'Walker's Low' Catmint for you. I also have a small Weeping Willow cutting that rooted just last week if you want it. The Hydrangea & Weigelia are small but well-rooted from last year. The Walker's Low catmint "cuttings" are easily 1 gallon size now or bigger. I should have probably listed them as plants rather than rooted cuttings lol. I was outside today and just noticed how big they actually were. I already have some 'Honeycomb' BB but thanks for offering it. As for the Irises I'd love them. I'm no Iris expert though so I don't know how to advise you about dividing them now. I'm probably more brutal on my Irises & daylilies than some folks and will pretty much divide them year-round if the need arises. I don't recall ever losing one but then they're my plants if something goes wrong. I wouldn't want to damage the rest of your clump if this isn't a good time. If anyone else has experience with this please chime in. I think you traded me some of this last year too, but I'd also be interested in more 'Chicago Royal' daylily if it's still available. I loved the blooms on the one I received last year and I have an area I'm doing in purples so the more the merrier. Please LMK if there's anything else you'd like. Thanks! |
kathyga, i can get you a willow cutting. all, i don't remember if i listed hydrangea in my Want post, but I do:) might want to move this back over to the shorter thread. ? |
Kathy, I have one extra Astilbe left if you want. I don't know if it is white or pink though.???????????? |

She broke onto the scene thanks to her role in "Wolf of Wall Street" and now Margot Robbie is gracing the cover of W Magazine's December 2014 issue.
She can render a man speechless with a single glance, and now it sounds like Margot Robbie has landed a part in the forthcoming "Suicide Squad" project.
According to Collider, the "Wolf of Wall Street" woman will play Harley Quinn in the movie, slated to hit theaters on August 5, 2016.
Celebrities love an excuse to get all done up and hit the town, and last night a trio of lovely ladies lit up Cipriani Wall Street with their radiant beauty.
Margot Robbie and Olivia Palermo both smiled for the shutterbugs as they arrived at the 31st Annual Fashion Group International Night of Stars: The Protagonists in Manhattan, rubbing shoulders with a slew of famous folks along the way.
Everyone loves a good crime drama, and now there's a brand new trailer for the forthcoming flick "Focus."
Starring Will Smith and Margot Robbie, the project originally cast Ben Affleck and Kristen Stewart for the male and female lead.
Back in January they were spotted smooching at the Golden Globes, and now Orlando Bloom and Margot Robbie look to be picking up where they left off.
Per a Woman's Day report, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" stud has been pulling out all the stops to beg the favor of the "Wolf of Wall Street" starlet.
She wowed audiences in "Wolf of Wall Street," and now Margot Robbie reveals the secrets to her success in the August 2014 issue of Vanity Fair.
After posing for a few stunning photos with Miguel Reveriego, the 24-year-old Aussie actress revealed why stars from her country make it big in Hollywood and what she really thinks about her own beauty.
Stepping out to show appreciation for the work of The Royal Marsden, a number of Hollywood stars attended Prince William's dinner party at Windsor Castle on Tuesday (May 13).
Making the most of their Humpday evening, Rihanna and Marion Cotillard showed up at the Brooklyn Navy Yard for the Christian Dior Cruise 2015 runway show last night (May 7).
The "Umbrella" songstress and the "Inception" hottie both looked divine while mingling with fellow guests prior to the big presentation.

Any suggestions for growing a fast tall hedge in Waialua in the sun that could be pretty. too? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by garden_isle_dave 9 (My Page) on Sat, Oct 17, 09 at 18:53
Hibiscus acetosella is my number one recommendation. Maybe it's just that I like it so much and it could fit in this situation, lol. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Google Images 'Hibisus Aetosella'
So many possible answers to that question! How much space can you give the hedge? By 'pretty' do you mean flowering or just nice to look at? How tall do you need it to get? How soon does it need to get to that size? Bamboo is fast. So is Variegated Hau. Duranta is fairly quick and bears those beautiful blue flowers and golden berries at the same time. Even a row of bananas might work. A'alii is moderately fast and a native. Since you mention trees, Glircidia might be another option. Keep in mind that how fast the hedge grows is usually a pretty good indicator of how much maintenance will be required to keep it in bounds later. Don't ask me how i know ; ) |

In the news release, "Rosetta Resources Announces Third Quarter 2006 Financial and Operating Results" issued earlier today by Rosetta Resources Inc. (NASDAQ: ROSE), we are advised by the company that the third sentence of the first paragraph should read "To participate in the call, dial (800) 238-9007 or you can log into our website at www.rosettaresources.com" rather than "To participate in the call, dial (800) 406-5356 or you can log into our website at www.rosettaresources.com" as originally issued.

Revenues for the same period were $71.2 million, including hedging gains of $9.1 million, and operating income was $22.5 million. The company's production increased to 8.7 Bcfe or 95.0 Mmcfe/day for the three-month period, a 9% increase from the previous quarter.

Each quarter in 2006 has exceeded the previous quarter's production and net income. We expect that trend to continue and anticipate record production in the fourth quarter of 2006. Rosetta's growth to date has been organic and is not a result of acquisitions. We have now drilled 98 gross and 83 net wells for the 9 months ending September 30, 2006, with an 84% success rate."
Rosetta's production for the quarter was 8.7 Bcfe or an average of 95.0 Mmcfe per day. Average realized gas prices for the quarter were $7.77 per mcf, including the effect of our hedges, and realized oil prices averaged $68.51 per Bbl.

Help!! I'm about to buy the 9080 Majestic by Vermont Castings grill at the Home Depot. I did receive one positive posting the last time I asked. Does anybody else have any experience with either Models 9050 or 9080. I sincerely appreciate the feedback! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Perhaps one should ask lpsage since HE is the CGE. |
I've seen those grills at home depot. Buy a Virco if you can find one. |
I checked out the grills at Home Depot and Lowe's (Jenn-Aire). The Members Mark is $300.00 cheaper and comparable, if not better. I eventually purchased the Virco which was still less expensive and, in my opinion, a much bigger bang for the buck. |
I agree on the VIrco. I was going to buy the JennAir version of the Vermont Castings grill at Lowes, but all the local stores were sold out on July 3rd. So that made me do some more research and I came upon the Virco. I started calling around the different Costco's in my area and none were available, but were on the way. Finally got one yesterday. WooHoo. Comparing the $799 Virco to the $599 JennAir. Adding the side burner and rotisserie puts the JennAir at $750. The Virco is ALL SS, Bigger, Hotter, and Costco's liberal return policy puts way above the Vermont Castings. TRY TO FIND A VIRCO IF YOU CAN. |
