I have asparagus starts, red and orange cannas, the long mexican petunias, maybe some bearded iris and anything else I can thin out. Would like some agapanthus, holly fern, and spider plants if they can make it outside over the winter. I'm happy to trade or give away my plants as I'd rather see them get a new home than end up in the compost pile.

Hi there,
After having a baby this spring, my beds have been neglected. I am afraid that all I will have may be orange canna lillies. I might have some asters, too, but I don't really have much left.

I would love any extras anyone has - the orange day lillies sound beautiful.

Day Lilies and Lantana

On swap day, I'll have dark orange and yellow day lilies. They were stunning this year against yellow/orange lantana. I'll also bring a mixed bag of perennials that need a better home than their current locations. Will anyone have any drought-tolerant prairie grasses?

I have lots of iris bulbs and some miscellaneous flowers. I am interested in anything that can make it through the summers.

Cockscomb seeds

Linda, are your seeds for the old fashioned tall variety of cockscomb?

If so, I would like to try them out. My mother had the tall variety and I haven't seen it anywhere since the 1970s. I kept wondering what happened to it.

I do not have spider lily to trade, but I do have a pretty and interesting perennial called Belita ground orchid. My version has a hot pink/magenta flower and green leaves which you need to cut off at ground level when they turn brown during the winter.

I am fairly new to all of this. Gardening has become my stress relief outlet, as I have recently finished radiation therepy for brain cancer. I have to take 1 day at a time, as I will never know when it will end. Flowers give me the chance to see new life... Hopefully more the better. :)

Since I am new... I dont have anything to swap. But if anyone could help me get started I would greatly appriciate it!!! I have both sunny and shady areas. Have recently experimented w seeds, bulbs, succulents, cactus, vines, perenialx, and annuals. I wont be picky at all, will gladly take anything that I can get.

Please just let me know. I am looking forward to meeting fellow garden lovers! I live in arlington, but will be coming to hurst for this. I can also be contacted at Lsarabia14@yahoo.com please put flowers in title so hopefully it wont go to my junk mail.

Thank you in advance!
Linda

That would be so great! Will
