Thanks, and YES THEY ARE exciting!

Tradewise, I'm still looking for someone who has 6-12 semps that stay non-green all year.....

Those "More Honey" chicks are now in my list of things I could send in return.

Hi Folks: I am new to semps and just finding my way back here. I do not have semps to trade but have many perennials to trade. Wanting to get started with semps. Have a few I recieved today from a trade from another gardener, but want more to share with my two children. I now have 10 kinds. Would love more, so if anyone still has some so my family can learn about these cute plants, drop me a line. I am in zone 5a. If you want to know what perennials I have to trade just ask. I will be glad to trade with several of you for any semps. Perhaps next year I will be able to have a list that I am looking for and will have some to offer to trade semps for semps. Somone told me there are thousands of different ones, so I am wide open for anything. Just tree-mail me. Thank you, I know I am late joining in. Have peonies, hostas, iris, woodland, shade and sun plants to trade.

Introduction--

Hello Everyone!!!

I'm Kim and from the DC area zone 6b; and new to the forum and to semps. I just started collecting semps this spring and hope to swap in the near future. Meanwhile, I'd love to receive more semps through trades with my other plants if anyone interested. Please be patient with me while I learn to navigate this site and to post.

Thanks for all your info and photos posted as I enjoyed going through them.

Kim

I'm spending a huge amount of time getting my stuff into the brand new lists feature that Dave put up. It'll make creating trading lists, and viewing others lists much easier.
Mine isn't done yet.
http://garden.org/lists/

How to make a list:

I think it's still somewhat beta, but very usable right now.

Thank you so much for the warm welcomes!!!

I hope to get organize with my lists of plants available for trade for other semps I don't have and have/want of semps. It may take a while as I am enjoying being in the garden and monitoring my semps. Big Grin

I'm happy to have found this forum thanks to Kate. Also, I'm glad to know that I'm not alone with this addiction (collecting sempervivum).
