Crinum Ellen Bosanquet, deep pink- have several 'teenage' bulbs, these have been fully hardy for me, or you store inside for winter to be safe. Grow fast.
Cuttings - Oyster plant, inch plant purple and silver, orange round leaf coleus

I'll bring a fruit item of some kind for potluck

Sally, I'd love to try the Crinum. I recently heard about this plant and it has been on my wish list! So glad you will be able to come tomorrow.

you got 'em, Terri!

I was talking to Joyanna's agriculture science teacher yesterday (dropped off a 30 gal aquarium for the classroom turtles). She's also the horticulture teacher (the high school has a greenhouse!). She was interested in any houseplant cuttings or coleus cuttings that rooted easily... preferably in water, because they will probably live on my kitchen island until Thanksgiving. If they started a variety of coleus cuttings now, they'd be able to take a lot of cuttings from the plants in Feb/March for their spring plant sale.

Sally, I'd love the inch plant and coleus cuttings you mentioned plus swedish ivy (either cutting or baby).

I have 'Inky Fingers' coleus (from Donner), regular green & variegated spider plant, Thanksgiving cactus, a sturdy purple trailing thing whose name always escapes me, and not much else.

If you could take cuttings (4" or longer, not counting the length of any blooms) of whatever kind of coleus you have and stuff them into a ziploc, that would be much appreciated!

Will do!
Purple thing, purple heart maybe?

I will have coleus 'tidbits Tammy' for you, Jill. I rooted 3 pots only a week ago. Do you prefer cuttings that are not yet in pots?

I can also bring Evolvulus 'blue my mind' cuttings.

Sallyg, I think you did it again! Purple Heart looks like the "purple thing" in my pot.

Thanks, Donner-Sally! Potted or fresh cuttings, whatever is easy will work. I should be able to strip the lower leaves on cuttings and get them in water, and then they'll be ok for a few weeks. Yes please on the 'Blue My Mind' cuttings also. I'll try some of those in water and stick a few into a container also.

Even if you have a coleus that's not named, I think the high school could use it. Most of the people buying plants from them in May don't care about cultivar names.

Thanks!

Jill I have oyster plant, will bring a couple rosettes, they will sit in water and hopefully before srping the stem put out side shoots. And Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi which i guess will root in water but also make some babies from leaf margins. And a coleus and zebrina inch plant and swedish ivy.

Anyone for bead fern, ostrich fern, white yarrow?

I can't ever turn down a fern! I'd like to get white yarrow going again... had it all over the place for years, from a plant found at a 100+ year old homestead. One spring, none came up.

Ill see what I can do to help.you!

Thank you!

I'm not going to make it today. I'm feeling really run down with a bad headache.

Feel free to offer up the plants I dubbed on to anyone that wants them.

Have fun!

feel better
thanks for all you do organizing the swaps

Oh no Rick. We will miss you. Get some rest and hope you feel better soon.

I'll bring a white bean salad, too

Joyce and I were looking forward to seeing you Rick but rest up and feel better.

oops, thought I'd already posted... I'm in about the same place as Rick, headache from yesterday that won't go away. For once I'm following logic over desire and staying home. If I didn't have the knee surgery on Tuesday, I'd be willing to push it. Then again, if I didn't have the surgery coming up, I'd be able to take meds for the headache.

David and Susan, thank you again for the enjoyable afternoon. Got several new gardening ideas. First one is that we need a much bigger place.

Lovely day! Thanks again for being such wonderful hosts, Susan and David. I always learn and get ideas from our swaps, seeing other gardens and having my fellow gardeners to bounce ideas with.
