It totally makes sense that the church's schedule needs to be worked around as they are so gracious to allow the swap to be hosted in their lot. I just wanted to make sure that it wasn't an oversight (I know that I personally can never keep track of holidays that change dates every year). I wanted to make sure that I could make the swap before posting, but I can (hooray) so here is my post:

Offers:
-red-leaved amaranth seedlings; not sure if it is red spike or LLB or something else (?)
-borage seedlings
-lemon balm
-celandine poppy
-tomatoes (heirloom or OPs. Some grown from seeds from the personal collection of the late Carolyn Male). I do not know exactly how many or which ones yet, but I should have around 50 or so to offer for the swap. Not sure if any will be cherries.
-climbing rose-I can't remember the name. I think that it came from oerickson. It is a dark pink flower with 5 petals and low scent. I dug some up a week or so ago. It didn't like it and most of the leaves that were on it shrivled, but it looks like there has been some regrowth starting and I think that it will bounce back well.


Wishes:
golden raspberry
wild black raspberry (not blackberries)
milkweed-mine doesn't seem to be coming back and the butterflies will be hungry!

antsinmypants:
If you still have the pomegranate tree available and it is perennial here, I would LOVE it, please.

lgoffen or verdantapt:
if either of you have any red monarda left, I would love some.

Thank you!

Happygardener23,

Until it blooms, I won't know if the Monarda is red or purple. Is that ok?

Sure, thank you. I make an herbal oxymel with monarda to help with sore throats/coughs and I've always used red monarda, but I imagine that it will work with purple too. My monarda patch has dwindled to almost nothing, so I'd love to be able to build it back up.

@VerdantApt, I would assume it's Ostrich Fern. Do you still want it? I believe the brown-eyed susans are native. I can save daffodils, brown-eyed susans and ferns for you. And yes, I will take the bee balm. Either color would work! Thanks!

@pitimpinai, I will pass on carex grayii. I will take the green leaf brunnera, 2 tomato plants and the others you mentioned. Thank you so much!

@Jq_sen, I'll have some raspberries for you.

Hi Nora,
OK, not Carex grayii

What about the following?
- Variegated Solomon's Seal
- Mayapple
- Wild ginger
- Phlox paniculata
- Miniature Solomon's Seal
- Epimedium rubrum
- Lady's Mantle

All these plants do well in the shade.

@pitimpinai Sure! I'm interested in Miniature Solomon's Seal, Epimedium rubrum, and Lady's Mantle.

NoraSM,

Yes, I would like the Ostrich Fern, daffodils, and the likely native brown-eyed susans. I will give you Monarda.

Thanks!

WOW! So beautiful!

In the Backyard, what's the plant on the bottom left with lavender Phlox-like flowers?

In the front yard, what's the low growing plant with lavender flowers and what's the plant with the orange-yellow flowers that's directly above the copyright mark?
