Happy: I think I'm picturing you now, I'll have to wait and see though! (I'm terrible with faces so I'm probably wrong)

I can bring you a few yellow, perennial foxglove plants, and red monarda if you would like.

Would you like any nepitella calamint, lemon balm, tarragon, or some mint? (chocolate, lavender, or mojito which looks suspiciously like apple mint)

Linnea: ooh, I didn't know you'd started "laminating" your tags! My hand also cramps when writing on the mini-blinds. Like you I want to make sure my plants find homes and giving more information helps a lot with that. From your comment, I'm now thinking I could format my info to fold over and fit into one of the tiny seed bags I have a ton of, then I could duct tape that to a mini-blind.

I'll bring one or more Bill Wallis geraniums for you, Linnea. They're not blooming yet, and are really a lavender. Do you want some calamint?

What I have blooming right now is: (bulbs: late daffodils, scilla) Hellebores, calamint in lav/purple, lunaria, white perennial candytuft, forget-me-nots, rock cress just finishing up, brunnera, your silene, wild mustard in yellow, and non-native greater celandine in yellow.

The greater celandine is invasive in some states but illinoiswildflower.info seems unconcerned. I do rip out most of the plants as the blooms get fewer, but they bloom during "the gap" so I love them. I'm not sure about sharing it, though

Pollinators really love the wild mustard, it may be this one:

I collected the mustard seed last fall, if anyone wants some.

I hope Mickey comes by, last year I absentmindedly put irises meant for her on the regular swap table. I can't recall what colors she'd prefer.
