Hi all, here's what I have to offer this year. If you want anything, please send me a tree-mail!

Columbine - pink flower
Perennial Geranium
Sundrops
Lance-leaf Coreopsis
Black eyed (brown eyed?) Susan
Forget-me-Not
Tall Sedum - light pink flower
Common Milkweed
Lily of the Valley
Locust tree saplings
Green and white hosta
Siberian Iris - purple flower
Bearded Iris - kind of a tri-color thing. Hard to describe; looks sort of like a dusty reddish-pinkish-purplish with a lighter cream colored top part, and some yellow highlights. (I tried to attach a photo, somehow not showing up)

(added) I also have some Tansy available.

Beth

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?


The orange yellow are double peony tulips

May I have the following if possible

Borage 'Alba' seedlings (a few)

Castor Bean seedlings (a few)

Inch Plant (Tradescantia zebrina)

Mother of Thousands (Kalanchoe daigremontiana)

Pomegranate Tree (about 2 months old) These are not hardy here & would need to be grown in a pot & brought in for the winter.

Yes to all you requested Smiling
Would you like more than one Pomegranate Tree?

What color is your Tansy? Do you have a photo of it?

Was it you who brought a Red Bud tree to the swap last year with a note saying "Maybe it will live."?

I think this is Monarda/Bee Balm. Can anyone confirm the ID before I dig it up to give away? It does have a minty smell, stems are squared and hollow, leaves are fuzzy. The plant is spreading. The width of the stems is making me question the ID though. Thoughts?

Uprooted piece of plant that I think is Monarda, but I'm not sure.

Thanks Mone!

To everyone who asked for Monarda/Bee Balm: I'll be giving you a rooted portion of the plant in the photos. I'm guessing the flowers will be red. However, it may be a cultivar, not a species. This means it may not be a good choice for a strictly native garden or if you plan on consuming the plant. If you no longer want this plant from me, please let me know!

It's definitely not Monarda fistulosa (purple flowers).

Sorry I didn't post the Tansy. I don't have any.

Yes, it was probably me that wrote that. I had a red bud that was seeding little ones everywhere lol

And yes, I would love more than one of the pomegranate trees.

Thank you so much Hurray!
