I would love any and all but Black Beauty, I do have it. Well my cosmos didn't survive for me here, and I dug all the F. persica so I could spring plant them (for bloom), plus I moved anything of value out of the front yard and behind the fence so it would be safe. I did lose a few woody things due to bad cold w/o snow in early Dec. Last spring I lost some lilies (yes DEAD, they were small bulbs and brand new) to a late spring frost so this year I am mulching them deeper to keep them from growing too soon. Plus I will copper spray them if they come up too soon. And maybe break out the buckets. My back is fenced with a 6 foot wood fence and it creates a frost pocket.
I have bulbs I can send in the fall, I only have Satisfaction and Pink Trumpets left out right now, I planted all weekend, it got nice. I have Acidenthera, Calla, Canna, Tigridia, Babiana, Sauromatum, Amorphophallus konjac, Amorphophallus bulbifer to trade (none of which are hardy), and Arisaema sikokianum(small bulbs-supposed to be hardy to Zone 5) to trade if you want any email me at myhandle AT hotmail.com or treemail me. I won't be planting those for awhile yet. I do have an order in at Faraway Flowers -had a bit of panic when my old link didn't work and emailed Ramona who reassured me she is still in biz. But those are all new - finding those old cultivars is hard.
And I could send you some F. persica in the Fall, if you keep it cool and in dry peat or sawdust it may last until spring, I did mine in Early March, we thawed and they were sprouting. They do not like pots much, they shrink like lily bulbs but in OR it was the only way to keep them dry.
Just let me know if you want anything and if you do any moving in the fall let me know, I will have more available in the fall.
