Not sure I can make it to the swap yet but if I can I have many different varieties of Hoya. Any one out there looking to trade hoya or other flowers or vines.

Dawn

Sadly:

I have nothing but mud to swap. I am seeking any TX Native perennial that is drought resistant. I have a whole front yard that I’m converting from grass to as close to Xeriscape as I can get. Any offerings will be accepted graciously. I hope to repay the favor with pay-it-forward after I can get something growing.

I have lots of yellow cannas that grow 48″ plus and a few red cannas that grow 36.” I may also have some orange “Oklahoma” that grow to 48″ plus.

I will be at the Lewisville location and am looking forward to the swap. I am starting almost from scratch and am looking for plants that will do well in the shade. I do have some John Fanick Phlox and Datura - seeds.

Does anyone have any pine trees?

Doug,
Where are you located. I am in FW and have purple cone flower. They are native to Texas and grow with little care in full sun. They spread by the many seeds that each head produces so a few plants will be many in a couple of seasons.
capride@aol.com

How great! I have daylily and iris to trade. Do you trade seeds, too?

All i have to offer is italian oregano clippings from the only plant that survived the winter, but it’s nice~ I’d love to get some starters for anthing that will work well for pots on my 4th story windy balcony, or that will work well accompanying vegetables in my parents garden. If anyone is willing to share or trade, let me know~
i’m located near n. dallas tollway and 121. anyone going to lewisville?
have a great day!
chrisg33@sbcglobal.net

Don’t forget to post which swap location you’ll be visiting so gardeners can plan accordingly. Hope to see lots of Texas gardeners swapping perennials, cuttings and seeds on April 4th!

I have a Salvia Gregii that volunteered itself, a salmon color, already potted up and about a foot tall. Also have plenty of empty pots of all sizes to share. For cuttings, I do have a Jasmine - do not know the name of it, has white flowers, and could also get some cuttings of pink or baby red oleander, also could bring green sweet potatoe vine cuttings, and a few clumps of various sedums if anyone is interested. Not sure what I want, if anything. I will try to make the South Arlington swap.

I’m north of Dallas. Lewisville store would be my closest location.

I have a white butterfly bush, about 4′ now, will get to 6′, have a smaller light purple one will get appx 4′, yellow iris (early bloomer) and white iris trimmed in purple (mid bloomer).

Looking for blackeyed susan (not the thick stalk variety), as well as tall and mounding mexican petunia.

If you’re digging your yard, I need St. Augustine to plug.

Kim, I would like a couple of rose cuttings.

Pat, I would like an aloe vera.

I will be at the Lewisville location on Apr. 4

Here is what I have:
Tradescantia (2 kinds)
Various succulent cuttings
Sunflower seeds (various varieties)
Coneflower plants & lots of coneflower seeds
Cuttings from various houseplants
Spider plants (variegated & solid green)
Christmas cactus

I am not looking for anything in particular, just interested in sharing what I have.

Doug — where are you from? I have a couple of cuttings that would probably do well in the conditions that you describe

please email me if you are in the Denton area & are interested in any of the above: hogue_jessica@yahoo.com

Doug:

It’s time for you to be happy!

I have a nice cutting to share from a plant I acquired from a roadside two (2) years ago in East Texas. It is a perennial and has broad, coarse leaves like a hosta and produces a long, tall stem with a small “sunflower” at the end of the stem. Each year it is comes back larger and more beautiful. It loves sun and is easily cared for without much ado. You may want to transplant it to other places in your yard for showing. Some people will ask you, “what kind of plant is that?” I don’t know until this day, I just know I enjoy looking at it’s beauty.

In addition, I have an abundance of clippings from another perennial plant resembling shamrocks with a pink bloom. The honey honey bees love it and will eventually pollinate your other plants with white flowers! These plants, too, grow bigger and in abundance year after year and make excellent border plants. Mine are 5+ years old and simply beautiful!

Is there anyone else out there who wishes to share with Doug some clippings, cuttings, plants? Let’s get him going and growing!

Is there anyone out there who has some bachelor buttons to share with Doug?

Arlington
I have pretty much a grab bag of irises. Antique bulbs, I have no idea what variety. I really need to get all these bulbs separated and once I do there won’t be room for them! Have seen white, peach, and purple bloom in our yard. These have been in our garden for close to ten years and grow no matter how much attention we show them.
Am seeking Fall Asters/Aromatic asters (symphyotrichum oblongifolium) or willowleaf asters, and comfrey. Also if anyone has a Texas-native evergreen shrub that grows 5+ feet, I would like that, too!
Email me at bouncyball05@aol.com

I’ll be at the Houston-Dairy Ashford location. I can offer red canna bulbs, Aloe vera cuttings, giant elephant ears, a sago palm I can pot for you and compact basil plant seeds.

Oh oops! I also have some Althaea plants which yeild pink blooms. These will be little Althaea saplings but they are very hardy! I have a lot of these from a 10+ year old plant. I grew up calling this a Rose of Sharon; Althaea apparently is the proper name.

Forgot to say what I am looking for: daylilies or other bulb plants that do well in TX sun. Also I’d love some groundcover (but not monkey grass). Thanks!

Houston-Dairy Ashford location

Doug:
Puja:

Which location are you going to attend for the swap?

Orange Canna, Ginger Flower for swap @Dallas/Plano/Frisco area.

I have Hinkley’s columbine (loads of it). Will bring to the Lewisville swap. I’m looking for purple coneflower, plus any butterfly friendly plants.

Just went out to pot up some of the stuff coming into my yard from my next door neighbors yard, pretty sure it’s Vinca, purple flowers, very invasive… I have a tree that it is growing all around, and it is coming into the other beds where I am pulling it from. Have 4 potted and can bring plenty more bare root.

I also have plenty of seed from various Texas natives, some are a few seasons old, but worth a try if you need them. Will just bring everything I have and see what Doug wants

I have some firespike ( red or pink ), butterfly weed, cassia, american beautyberry, poassionflower, angel trumpet cuttings ( yellow or pink) ( brugmansia ) and 1 Desert Rose ( Adenium obesum ).
Seeds … butterfly weed, and Cassia.

I could use a Blackgum tree ( Blackgum, Black tupelo, Sourgum, Tupelo ), or red oak.
Maybe something colorful for butterflies, that is dappled shade friendly.

Houston Dairy Ashford location.

Forgot to add I will most def. be at the Arlington location, barring unforeseen circumstance.

Do people Swap for free even with People who don’t have anything to swap? I’ll be at the Lewisville location.

Sherry: I’ll also be at the Lewisville location & will be happy to give you anything you would like… on the condition that you promise to pay-it-forward one day.

Houston, Dairy Ashford store

Dawn, I didn’t know what a Hoya was and looked it up. How gorgeous! I would love to trade you for one of those.

I have 2 Pride of Barbados plants I started from seed last fall. I am rooting some yellow shrimp plant cuttings and will bring if they get started. I will try to root some raspberry colored shrimp plants to bring also. They are so easy.

I also will bring anything else I can get there!

I have lots of purple jew and a green sedum (flat round leaves about the size of a nickel) that come back from the roots every year.

I plan on being at the Arlington location.

Hey folks I just moved to Texas last June from Oklahoma. I at this point have nothing to swap. We are trying to redo our beds (in Lewisville) from our modest (downsized) home. I would just like to purchase some perennials. Can I come to the swap? my e-mail is holeinonefour@gmail.com I’d like some coneflowers - anything that will grow in this heat/drought. Of course I will be buying a lot from Calloways also. Looking for a hardy hibiscus - red!!! Can’t wait to get planting. Anyone know where I can buy a gardening auger to fit on our drill. I am a senior and it would so help me dig some holes for whatever. Thanks for reading. I’ll be at the lewisville location also. Nancy

Forgot to add that I’m interested in perennial shade plants.

CJ Ridge - which location will you be going to? I know that roadside plant you are talking about and would love to have a start of it. I will be at the South Arlington Location. You can email me at bjmots2001@yahoo.com

I won’t be able to be at the swap (Houston), as I’m working that Saturday morning till 1pm. I do hove some sword ferns, taro (lives in water or soil, good bog plant), lemon grass, and if someone wishes to come to my house and make a garden bed in my front yard, they can have the very healthy St. Augustine.

I have lots of 4 O’clock seeds and 2 started purple coneflowers. I also have some extra seeds for a three sisters garden including Hopi blue corn, hidatsa shield beans, white and yellow scallop squash, and buttercup squah and mammoth sunflower seeds. Also have a packet of wildflower seeds from Florida. I dont really know what plants can sucessfully grown from clippings but I have mexican sage, autumn sage (red), and what I think is milkweed. If anyone would like what is listed above feel free to contact me at tmir@mirgroup.com.

I am interested in purple shamrocks, pigeonberry, horseherb and any low water plants.

Hi,
I have rooted several Angel Trumpets (pink).
And I have a climbing dortmond rose that I need to dig up and pot. It has lost it’s sunny location from nearby tree canopies.
This is a china rose, and it is a deep red in hue.

If anyone is interested, in any of these, leave a post to say you are interested.
I live closest to the Cornelius Nursery on FM 1960, and prefer to swap there.

Hi, it’s me again, Pat W.
I forgot to request some plants I would really love to acquire.

Hi there! I’ve never been to a plant swap before; since this is our first year in our new (to us) house, I also don’t have anything to share. If it’s all right, I’d love to stop by and meet folks and see what sorts of things there are that people share. We are working on planting not just for our home, but also for our new business, and would be interested in just about anything, I suppose (so long as it’s not poisonous- we have kids and animals, and I am especially interested in medicinal/edible plants). We (my hubby, if he comes too) would be going to the Lewisville store.

I have red and yellow cannas and some Boston fern that has naturalized . I would like some iris or lilly bulbs . I am also looking for a fig tree or any small fruit trees . I will bring extra plastic pots if any one would like some . I had to remove several trees after the Hurricane and would like to replace them . I will be at the Dairy Ashford Cornelius on April 4.

Good day all I was hoping that mabey some of yall would have a little something for me to get started, my back yard is bare. I dont know much about names. So if some of you could help I would truly be thankful and whos knows I might just have to name my flowers after yall I have some shady but mostly sunndy I live in denton so I will be at the lewisvill store I’ll be the one with nothing to share except a great big thank you
Joy

I am hoping to attend the Arlington swap meet. I should have some bleeding hearts, purple heart jew, vinca, mexican petunias, rose of sharon (white w/red centers), wax leaf ligustrum, varigated airplane plants, and garlic. Anyone interested?

Judy - Lewisville: I have some red cannas, wood fern, umbrella plant, maybe 1 or 2 begonias, possible some lantana.
Nancy above, all of these plants love Texas heat and do well returning year after year.

I have a rose bush that was found in a TX cemetary-from Rose Emporium. It is covered with blooms-starting now-until summer,scattered blooms all summer and reblooms in fall. Once established it requires no care except heavy pruning-deep pink blooms. Needs space. Shade or sun. Drought or snow. I’ll be at Lewisville. Will trade for anything that is TX tough. Also a pomegranite that produced over 200 last fall-birds love it. Also have cape honeysuckle. Another tough to kill plant that needs little care and can be invasive.

Some kind of decorative grass….gets very large and doesn’t fit the space it’s in. Looking for some “hens and chicks”

Hi

I recently purchased a home. While I am still discovering my plants it is with curiosity of discovery of my plants.

I have bulbs that have recently come to growth but with no flowers. I have another plant that has several shoots possibly a lily family. The others are lilies and iris.

I am looking for:

Hostas
River Fern
Christmas Fern
Clematis
Coral Vine
Passion Vine Flower

I want to create a woodland garden, a flower/ornamental grass/vines near my driveway around my mailbox.

I don’t have much to trade but would love to have connection with others to learn and create.

William Coberly - interested in your plants
Carol
Betty
Jessica

Would love some cuttings
I live in Bedford. Also anyone interested in helping me to design and plant?

Krissi

hen and chicks

I have arugula plants (the peppery lettuce that grows year round in snow, ice or sun), moon flower plantlets and a couple of small wisteria. I will be at the Lewisville store. Would love some coneflowers and most anything that does well in sun.

I have lots of purple jew, seeds, coneflowers in pink, white, black eyed susan, hyician bean seeds-hundreds, sage in hot pink, purple and red-white combination. White Iris blubs, canna bulbs varrigated, a million other things I can not even remember. Just started here last year but have been hard at work. Also cuttings from verbena/lantana-purple spreading & hot multi color bush. Kate I would love some of your blubs. I had collected them from all over USA but had to leave them with our last move. I will make the trip to Arlington just to pick them up. I am in the Murphy-Plano area far east. I also have sedum red/pink, and another succulent that blooms yellow. I can bring cuttings of yellow jasmine also…geese, whatever I have out there….airplane plant…I’ll have to look! Kate, I can be reached at akivy@aol.com….I will also love anything anyone wants to share! See you in Arlington!

Tim, I would LOVE some columbine. I’ll be at Lewisville.

Debby

We have Cherry Laurels (both in 1 and 3-gallon containers) and English Ivy in 4-inch containers to offer at the upcoming Lewisville Plant Swap. Cherry Laurels are dense evergreen schrubs that can be used as excellent large privacy hedges and screens in your landscape. (See more information and photos on Mississippi State University’s website at http://msucares.com/lawn/garden/msgardens/03/030317.html ). We’re open to trading them for other kinds of plants. Contact us at pondpda2@aol.com and let us know what you have to trade at the Plant Swap.

Hi! I do not have anything to trade except Monkey Grass, which you would have to dig up. I live in Hurst.

Krissi,
Would love some of your hen and chicks, please.
Debby P

I live in far west Fort Worth. Would anyone out there like to meet at the Hulen Store? I have some irises, larkspur, and Mexican Petunia that I could certainly share!

I would enjoy trying some Hosta for under our shade tree, or some Coneflower for our cutting garden, or perhaps some Aloe Vera to pot inside for when we have a burn!
Hooray for Calloways! I love this idea!

krissi –

the bulbs that have no flowers — do you think they are ‘daffodils’ that just didn’t bloom? if the foliage is dark green with a paler green stripe, then you very well could have spider lillies (also called naked ladies or surprise lilies). there are a two or three variety of bulbs that send up foliage in the spring (then it dies down) and in the fall, up pops this great flower. before you disturb them too much - you might try to wait them out a full year to see if you get something. if there are spider lillies (or some such type), then these are great trading plants!

terri

Yeah, count me in-I have passion vine, soapwart, and varigated penstemmon to share. I will be at the Arlington swap meet.
julie

Betty - I would love that purple butterfly bush

Tim - some of your columbine.

I also have both the tall Mexican heather - pink and the mounding kind - purple.

Looking for most anything, can’t wait to see what everyone has to offer.

Working in my garden last night, I found that I also have lots of phlox coming up everywhere so I could bring those to the Arlington swap, too.

I also am looking for an American (or Texas) Wisteria.

William-I’d be interested in the bleeding hearts, mexican petunias and rose of sharon (white w/red centers).

I’ll be at Arlington and I have the following:

white jasmine (not sure how to get the cuttings, as I have not done that before, would appreciate any tips)
oak shoots (not sure if red or live)
yellow/orange striped cannas - lots
fern
hens/chicks
ground cover that sprouts pretty purple flowers
clover looking plants that have pink flowers

I will be at the Lewisville location.

Anyone:

I am looking for some hosta if you have any. I will be attending the Arlington swap.

Thank you much!

cjridge@dallascounty.org

William:

“Please” reserve me a cutting of your bleeding hearts should you bring some! What color are they? I have posted a request for some hosta, which grows and showcases nicely with bleeding hearts.

Second request: Anyone out there with some hosta to make my dream complete?

See you at the Arlington swap!

cjridge@dallascounty.org

Marcia:

I know you are going to be attending the Lewisville swap, but do you think we could meet halfway to exchange some of your arugula?

I have to swap some shamrocks w/beautiful pink blooms and a few iris bulbs, I believe purple in color.

Let me know.
cjridge@dallascounty.org

Houston — I have ginger and more ginger (corn plant appearance about 5 foot tall AND 5 foot tall-long oval leaf variety) — both have drooping large pink/coral blooms that smell like sugar in the fall. I have aloe vera and ruellia (violet). I have asparagus fern and angel trumpet (white). I have asian jasmine and mondo grass (ground cover).

Looking for day lillies or lily of the Nile (white or dark purple, please), gerbera daisies, and/or or something colorful and off the beaten path — surprise me.

I’ll be at the Lewisville swap IF anyone wants any of what I have.

I have a bunch of little althea (rose of Sharon) seedlings coming up under the parent plant if anyone wants some. One way or another, they gotta go. The parent plant flowers in lavender/pink and it’s been very vigorous.
My grape hyacinths are getting out of hand and I can dig some roots for tall ruellia (Mexican petunia) if anyone wants that. (I had to give it a righteous whackin’ last year. For those of you with Texas-tough concerns, that stuff will thrive and flower in the worst heat. I’m pretty sure it’s aiming for world domination.)
Hm, lemme see, I could bring up some nice sections of feather grass, I haven’t divided my daylilies in a while and I’ve got way too much English ivy (but then who doesn’t?).

I’d LOVE some turnera. Got some last year at the Arboretum but I didn’t make it to the plant sale this year.

Hi I would love some of things yall are talking about like I said be fore I sorry I have nothing to trade but I would take any thing and give it a try and as far as English Ivy I dont have any lolo how dose it grow. wait my husband just told me about the crazy cactis that we have on our back fence I could cut some of that and bring it if any one wants some Thanks for you kindness

I will be at Lewisville swap. I have some small Texas Mountain Laurel that I grew from seeds, white butterfy bush plant, datura seeds, and can divide some iris, white and purple. Looking for old roses, cuttings or plants. Daylilies, different colored irises, Mexican petunia(ruella),cemetary lily bulbs(crinum) or spider lillies or just whatever will grow in Texas!!

I am looking for “cast iron”.
Fort Worth

My garden is a fairly new one, so I don’t have much to share right now. I would love to pay it forward and root some of my plants for you. Few are ready to be divided yet, but I do have some artemisia, some onion chives and garlic chives that I can divide right now. I would love to have a start of hydrangea, althea (purple), passion flowers, purple wisteria, bridal wreath, and cone flowers. Is anyone interested in starting a swap meet here in McKinney? lb_linda@yahoo.com

I hope to be at the Lewisville swap.

I am new to Texas gardening and unfortunately do not have anything to swap. I am hoping to plant a butterfly/hummingbird garden in my front yard and a variety garden in my backyard.

I currently have nothing much to share. I might have black bamboo cuttings if they play nice and grow roots. (they can be so picky) My husband and I just moved back here from Boston last year. My garden is started but most of it isnt big enough to do anything with. That said if anyone is still willing to let me have their extras…..

I am looking for Angel Trumpet cutting or seedlings (my dog ate mine …vet trips are oh so fun) Any rose cuttings, bleeding hearts, ferns, hostas, grape hyacinth, artemissa….and anything that is black red or silver wether foliage or flower. Mostly need shady plants. Have one annoying spot in the garden that stays wet and shaded all year and everything dies except the bamboo.

Hello … I live close to the Calloways on Hwy. 26. I would love some Black Eyed Susans and some cone flowers to add to my perennial garden.

I don’t have anything to trade right now .. but in the summer will have some day lillies that I can give you.

Let me know if you plan to be at the Hwy. 26 location in Colleyville and we can meet.

Thank you!

South Arlington
Pink Oxalysis
Wild Petunia

Will be at the Dairy Ashford location

Available for swap: variegated ginger/ variegated swedish ivy/ jewel of opar/ red firecracker/ society garlic/ tall pink cosmos seedlings/ variegated pedilanthus (redbird or devils backbone) - these will only be cuttings; not enough time to get them rooted

Also oregano and bay laurel plants need a big hair cut; so if anyone would like some of those herbs to use for cooking, please let me know. (email: cholung@comcast.net)

I am interested in acquiring pink angel trumpet, louisiana iris (flower colors other than purple or violet), cybister amaryllis, orange amaryllis, candy lily (non orange) and snail vine.

This is the first time I’m participating in this swap. Have only lived in the Spring Branch area for 2 years. I hope to meet some fellow gardeners that live in this area.

Thank you Calloways ! What a great idea ! !
I have spider lillies and iris to share or swap.
I’m looking for ferns if they can live in our black gumbo.
I hope to be at the Arlington/Cooper location.

I will be at the Diary Ashford location in Houston. I am new to the Texas area and this is my first swap. I am excited!! I have very little to swap, but refuse to come empty handed. I have some red canna that grows 48”, yellow canna that grows shorter, snake plants or mother in law tongue, vargiated spider plants, a bare rooted ginger plant that is pretty tall.
I am looking for some flowering plants or some fragrant plants. Hibiscus, azalea, love plant, angel trumpets plant of various colors or anything along that line.
Also does the zebra plant grow here? If so, does anyone have one?

I forgot……anyone have any fruit tree cutting or small one that they have started? I am also starting a vegetable garden and would take anything that grows including worms…..ha

I will be at the Arlington location. I have quite a bit to swap - Kamshaticum Sedum (green scolloped leaves, yellow flowers), Crocosmia (dark Orange, blooms mid summer), Japanese Iris, Obedient plant, Sweet Autumn Clematis, Comfrey, Variegated Canna (yellow, mid size), white flowering ginger (Butterfly ginger), Frost Weed, purple coneflowers, old fashioned daylilies, green/gray wandering Jew, Venezuelan Daffodil (if I can separate some from the clump), Crinum lily (small still), Ramie, Rudbeckia Maxima, Yellow Fall Sage (Salvia madrensis, also known as Forsythia Sage - has the unusual square stem) and lots, lots more. I also have some more common woods violets which I let go because they remind me of something from my childhood. I have a woodsy area under my bald cypress and they are all over along with some columbine I have let go.

What I want is anything different and unusual (I know, that is redundant). I go for variegated plants, also the silver, gray, and white ones. I have a giant kalanchoe that I am going to chop up and replant - it grew to about six or seven feet with leaves easily one foot long by eight inches! It is beautiful! If anyone is interested, I can bring starts of Arabian Wax Leaf Cissus (related to the grape vine but has round waxy leaves - it is a hanging basket plant, of course).

Can’t wait - see you there!

I am looking for Xeriscape plants(prefer plants that blooms in spring and fall).. I can only bring one or two hawthorn plants to the swap meet at South Arlington: Calloway’s - 4940 S. Cooper, Arlington, TX 76017 on 04/04/09 from 1200 to 1400

Brenda (B52)

Please look for me at Lewisville as I am having trouble finding HOMESTEAD and truly do want to swap for some.

Plants I will be bringing to swap; Yopon Holly; Flowering Peach; Waxleaf Ligustrum; CHINESE Photinia; white Iris; a sedum(name ?); Blue Mist flowers (Butterfly magnet); Limelight Artemisia; Plants I am looking for: Hostas; Ferns; Joe Pye Weed; Purple Cone Flowers; Hollyhocks; Japenese Maples; Homestead Verbenia; Blue Passion Flower; Cypress Vine; AND anything that will bring in the butterflys and humming birds …I will be at the Lewisville location !

I forgot to mention that i have some beans from the oringinal grape hyacinth beans the came from monticello (my sister-in-law is the president of the tenn. master gardeners club and she got them from some professor that got them at monticello)
I started wil 9 seeds and now have about 100 ( beautiful vines)

I have lots and lots of purple irises transplanted from North Louisiana several years ago. They grow beautifully in my Highland Village yard, even in an spot that doesn’t get much water, but plenty of sun. I usually thin them out in the fall every couple of years or so, but they’re so hardy that I’m sure I can pull up big chunks this time of the year and they’ll still do well. They bloom around Eastertime.

I also have Mexican petunias which I love because during the hottest time of the summer when everything else seems to be wilting, I can count on a thick border of blue flowers. I’ll be at the Lewisville store.

I will be at the Lewisville location.

Plants I have:

Rosemary cuttings
Zepherine Drouhin rose cuttings (fuschia flower - thornless climber)
New Dawn rose cuttings (blush lt. pink flower - super thorny climber)
Louisiana fig tree cuttings
Columbine - yellow
Variegated Artemesia - yellow/lt. green (invasive)

Also, if anyone is interested in coming to Valley Ranch and digging, I have 4 eucalyptus bushes, 2 holly bushes (waist high) and several Indian Hawthornes (2ft.) Mine are flowering white.

I am looking for some white Lily of the nile (AGAPANTHUS)

THE ONES THAT GROW TALL. I have nothing to swap. Starting new. I live near the Arlington store

Does anyone have any red spider lily bulbs? Or know of a source? I am homesick for them.

I have VERY LARGE shade loving plants that I believe are called “cast iron” plants. I have two large planters full of them. I can send a picture if anyone is interested.

I have Iris…I know this is usually not the time to transplant BUT they have to leave my garden. They have multiplied & multiplied & taken over. Anyway, I’ve moved them successfully before & given them to friends this time of year & it worked. May not bloom this year but will next if not put in too deep.

Would love an Angel Trumpet-brugmansia. I’d also love violets, crinum & reblooming daylillies
Only a start of each…I’d rather spread the wealth

We will be at the Arlington location. We have Lemon Palm and red oak trees. Could we swap anything other than plants? We could make cupcakes to swap for plants?
I’m looking for night jasmine, angel’s trumpet in purple, yellow or pink and anythig that grows in partial shade. I have a huge back yard and would take anything to fill it up.

Hello, I have purple yarrow and black- eyed Susan “Goldsturm” to swap. I’m looking for any Hostas and Texas Gold Columbine. I will be at the Lewisville store.

Thanks!
Julie

i will not be able to make the swap, but would appreciate if anyone knows where i can find or anyone has leopard plant, NOT ligularia as prior classification, now classified as farfugium japonicum. loves shade, rounded or kidney-shaped green leaves with yellow spots; flowers on spikes. star T newspaper article about it 2/9/09, but i can’t find it anywhere over here out west in FW. also not on internet retailers; lots of ligularia out there, but no farfugium. does ANYbody have it? or do you know where i can get it?? will drive anywhere DFW to get it. thanks!!

I sincerely hope that every one’s tender baby plants will survive our recent cold snap. I moved all that I had room for into the garage. Would someone out there please clue me in as to what are the most fragrant varieties of jasmine? Also, is “night blooming cirus” the same thing as “moon flower”? I will need a pick up truck to get all of my stuff to the Arlington plant swap. Looking forward to my thumbs getting greener.

I have yellow and pink native lantanas, pink sorral and pecan trees from our trees nuts have nice nuts and fire bush [qunice] a little catus it grow 3-4 feet tall has a large yellow bloom and fruit later in year let me know what you have I am putting in a “native evergreen shrub and other native flowering living fence ” to be back row for an assortment of flowers in front.

Does anyone out there have Iron Cross Oxalis? If so let me know what you are looking for to trade.

Thanks. I will be at the Lewisville swap.

I will be at the Arlintgon swap bearing many varieties of plants to swap or help you get started. In return we are looking for mainly shade plants…groundcovers or flowering plants, but have a pool and need a few for sun too. We are redoing flowerbeds and landscaping on an acre with lots of trees and a creek and have been in our home for 15 years. We have so much shade we can’t get grass or sun plants to grow anymore in those areas.

In return I have clippings of pink lemonade honeysuckle, rosemary, lamium(spotted dead nettle)groundcover and salvia greggi pink-autumn sage and white sage, iris, orange old fashioned daylilies, obedient plant, woodfern, lemon balm, monkey grass, oxalis-shamrock plant with purple/pink blooms, purple wandering jew, and 2 -3 ft. tall mexican petunias.

Currently I have nothing to offer in return, but I hope to return the kindness one day. We just moved into a house and I am starting from scratch. I am interested in some irises and daylilies or any kind plants that tolerates a west facing house. The previous owners have left us a yard full of weeds.

I’ll be at the Arlington store. I’m looking for easy, somewhat carefree plants. I have Lemon Balm, orange cannas, garlic chives, Mullen, baby oak trees, old fashion orange daylillys, artemesia(silver queen), mini purple iris, small aloe vera, purple and green jew, elephant ears?, shasta daisy, chocolate mint, privets, nandina, sedum w/yellow spike blooms.

Lewisville
I’m looking for any clematis or ginger plants. I have some agaves (2 different varieties), mexican petunias, and some oregano. I’ll be at the Lewisville location. I’m interested in xeriscape gardening, but I already have lots of prickly pear/ opuntias.

In case you live near the Calloway’s on Hulen in Fort Worth…they understood that there would be a swap at all the locations, not just the 3 listed here, so they are prepared for people. If you haven’t made arrangements to meet people at one of the 3 locations and live in Fort Worth, you definitely can meet people there.

I have some giant variegated Pothos that can be planted directly in the garden. The leaves grow to be much larger than their houseplant cousins.

I am looking for plants that can tolerate full Houston summer sun. I don’t have much shade at my house. I am looking for something that is very attractive and also hard to kill. Thanks. I can meet you at the Dairy-Ashford location but it will have to be around 2:30 p.m.

I have the following:

purple oxalis
lamb’s ear
variegated vinca (blue flower)
artemisia - silver king
ruellia - low/clumping variety with purple flower
passion vine - cuttings only
chrysanthemum - purple (grows to 18″) and golden yellow (grows to 10″)
aster - hardy blue (very limited)
monkey grass

I would love to have any of the following:
astilbe
columbine - hinckley’s gold
daylily
iris tubers
purple or white coneflower
shasta daisy
gaura
catmint
wood fern
aspidistra
orange, pink canna

Lewisville is closest location to me. If I can’t coordinate some good swaps ahead of time I will probably not make the drive. Prefer potted starts, not bare root.

Hi

I live by the Arlington Store - And would LOVE anything anyone can’t get rid of - I would love a beautiful yard!!! I have some cannas I can share -

My only problem is - I can’t make the stores on Saturday’s - I am a performer at Scarbourgh Faire & it’s Showtime - Anyone up to Week Day Evenings????

Thank you
Bobbie

Like: an eastern red cedar seedling or any size, lillies, shade loving (but has to survive dry xeriscape), white gregi and almost any perenial that doesn’t spread. The lemon balm wasn’t even mine - it came over from my neighbor’s yard - I love it,but don’t want too many plants that I have to “control”.

This will be my first garden in Texas. We purchased a home in Burleson and I will bring some plants from around the house. I don’t know the names of much, but I will try hard to find out. I will be at the Cooper Street location and look up to anyone that could give me advice on Texas gardening.

I have many nice size cuttings of the Dieffenbachia plant - a lovely indoor plant for indirect light. Looking for Lemon balm, rosemary, peppermint and/or star jasmine. Will be at the Lewisville store on Saturday at noon.

I have thinned my iris beds so have many bearded iris to give away at the Lewisville swap if anyone wants some. They are crimson with velvet yellow beards and grow about 30 in tall… Almost maintenace type of plant. Also have some cannas in red, yellow and orange/pink. This last one is named Miss Oklahoma.

I have some cast iron plants to share.

I would like to find some shade loving elephant ears or other shade loving perennials.

Please meet me at the Lewisville Calloways if you are interested.

I will be at Lewisville. I will also bring some four o’clocks if anybody wants they. They self seed and are everywhere. May bring some apple blossom salvia and some Lady in Red. Both are very tough and thrive everywhere. Not sure if Turk’s Cap has made an apperance yet.

Forgot to add that I would love irises, cannas, daisies, wandering jews, herbs, tough mint.
Anything that is self sufficient once established. Also, would like the purple passion vine that I had to leave in San Antonio.

Single parent, just rented a house with LOTS of flower beds but the elderly couple that lived there didn’t have anything but bushes. So I have LOTS of room, and nothing to get started with. I’ll be happy with any cuttings, bulbs, whatever… I just don’t have anything right now to return the favor except a nice THANK YOU! I had a beautiful yard in a previous home I owned and I realy miss my color in my flower beds. I love daylilies, iris, amaryliss, cannas - anything for sun or for shade, as I have plenty of places for both. My daughter is learning how to prepare and plant beds, so this will be a good experience for her too. Thanks much!

email: tamaratodd@sbcglobal.net

I live in Rowlett which is east. I can’t make the swaps this weekend. I love plants but haven’t had a lot of luck in TX so I don’t really have any to swap. I am from Kentucky and I moved in the wintertime and couldn’t bring any with me. I would love any kind of plant that would do well in TX especially in sun as well as the shade. I live on 2 acreas and have a lot of sun and a few shady spots. I am trying to find plants that are drought tolerant but will accept anything someone is willing to part with. Hopefully next year I will be able to return the favor of swaping plants. I am basically starting from scratch. I would be willing to drive to pick up if not too far. If you have anything to share and willing to share with a plant lover you can email me at barbara.messemore@eds.com. Thanks I can’t wait to get started growing some beautiful plants here in TX.

I will be at the Lewisville store with some wood fern, a little bit of umbrella plant, a couple of red cannas, not sure what else. I would love some WESTERIA and some MORNING GLORIES.

Please stop by and give me anything that is left over from the swap. I just relocated here. Thanks!

Please stop by and give me anything that is left over from the swap. I just relocated here. Thanks! I will be at the Dairy Ashford location

excited for tomorrow!

Hello Everyone,

I”m new to the area, and working off what came with the yard. I’ll be at the Lewisville location with white Iris, and ajuga (Bugleweed). I’m looking for anything that does well in the Denton area as I’m not from around here and still not really sure what works with the hot summers and cold winters here. Looking forward to seeing and meeting everyone.

We hav numerous iris plants to split. Mostly purple and yellow. Would love to swap for wood ferns and hostas or other plants. We’ll be at the Arlington location!!

who needs WEED?

Anyone near northwest Carrollton (I’m just east of the Lewisville store) that didn’t get enough daylilies, asters, or irises at the swap, let me know. I’ve still got plenty. leslie@franksalot.net

Thanks a ton to all the people who gave shared their plants with me: Nan, Sonjia, Wayne, Debbie and the lady who gave me rosemary.
Thanks, Calloways!

Thank you Calloway’s for putting this event on. My afternoon is quite busy getting all of my new plants in the ground. I appreciate everyone who came and shared their plants with such generosity! I hope we all have beautiful yards to share next year.

Thanks, Calloway’s!!

The plant swap at the Arlington store couldn’t have been better! We’re hoping that you plan to do this again soon! Lots of nice people with plants and knowledge to share……

Wow, the perfect thing for me, the cheap gardener. I’m done planting my iris (wifey is happy, she loves iris). Thanks Calloways, and all the gardeners who parted with their beloved plants!

WOW! Thanks Calloways & all you awesome gardening folks for the fun swap.
Busy, busy getting plants into the ground. Love, Love, Love my new little babies
I’ll cherish each one and remember the delightful time spent with each of you.

Several of yall asked for seeds. I won’t forget you. Keep an eye on your mailboxes
around august

Thanks again,
Sonjia

That Arlington swap was the first swap I’ve ever gone to, I’ll definately be back if they do another. Thanks Calloways, and thanks everyone, it was so much fun!

The plant swap in Houston was terrible!!!! It was not what I expected at all. It was surely not worth the trip. I wouldn’t call it a swap. The real good plant was on some carst and was not available for swapping as it belonged to someone that wasn’t there. You put your plants out on the table and leave just about. Granted I didn’t have much, but mines was potted and I even left extra pots (8 of them). The only unpotted plant was the ginger. I posted what I and received none that I asked for. I was told that it was over and I had arrived way before the 2pm stated time and well into the first hour that was posted. I felt that they wanted me to just leave my things and go. There was a extremely nice lady whom gave me her plants and that is how I really received anything . When I stated that I didn’t want to take all her plant, but wanted to leave some for other she insist. Thanks goodness for her because I would never go to another swap if it wasn’t for her. I should of waited for the Mercer Swap, but wanted to see what a swap was like so I went to this one. Now I don’t have anything to swap at the Mercer one and will not go without anything so that means next year for me to check and see if that one is the same as this one. I hate the Corneluis Swap in Houston, and I will tell all about my experiences. Do not go there, make the ride and go somewhere else.

Arlington Swap…….it was interesting, informative, and well worth the effort. Thanks Calloways for providing the snacks and water. Now I will stop calling my bleeding hearts bleeding hearts since I found out that they are really turks cap!! I did miss out on some hens and chicks and also meeting C.J. RIDGE!! Maybe next year. Peace!

Thanks, Calloways!! The Arlington swap was the first swap ever for me. Everyone was so nice and generous. I hope to be better prepared for the fall date.

Thanks, Calloways and everyone at the Arlington swap. My dog Molly and I had a great time.

Thanks, Calloways, for such a lovely time at the Arlington swap! Let’s do this AGAIN!

TO: My fellow gardners…

WHO out there wants to join me in asking, “did we have a BLAST at the Arlington swap or what? Absolutely!

Everyone take care of yourselves, your new-found plants, and here’s to looking forward to seeing you fellow gardners at the next swap!

Peace..and I’m out!!!

C.J.

Now, ya’ll be sure to protect your new plants tonight. It may freeze tonight in the DFW area and getting down in the 30’s in Houston.

I had fun in Arlington too and will definitely plan to be in Hurst in September. I promise to try to get my herbs started sooner so as to have larger plants to transfer for the fall. (I had the scraggly tarragon which some graciously traded with me for all sorts of nice things.)

Please make suggestions on here to Calloways for the swaps in September. I heard that Calloways will probably only host swap meets at stores that have the larger parking lots. We need to all wear name tags next time and maybe have separate blogs for each different location to avoid confusion. Those that labeled their flowering plants with the color were smart! And so was the lady with the wagon who could walk and talk and trade at the same time. Those without wagons could probably use lawn chairs and maybe small umbrellas. The photos with descriptions from the web were helpful. Now, what do ya’ll think?

Thank you Cornelius in Houston
It was a small swap but I had fun and picked up a few nice things. Houston has two large swaps (mercer and Galveston county) and this was right in the middle so it may have accounted for the low turnout. Anyway I enjoyed talking with a few nice gardening folks
So thanks to all that arranged it
Dawn

Read the article that ran in the Dallas Morning News about the Calloway’s plant swap. Post your feedback and comments at the bottom of the article and build interest for the next one. The Fall Calloway’s and Cornelius plant swaps should be even bigger and better! In all about 50 attended each of the two DFW swaps and around 16 in Houston. Spread the word and join us again this Fall!

http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/fea/lifetravel/stories/DN-nhg_fool_0326gd.ART.State.Edition1.4a97e0d.html

Thank you Calloway’s for hosting the Arlington plant swap! The drinks were greatly appreciated. Everyone was so generous with their plants and their advice.

I like the suggestion of somehow identifying which store we plan to visit and perhaps name tags. My wagon was a help, but I found I needed a bigger one!

See you all in Hurst in the fall.

I have a beautiful orchid - just received it this past week. I have no talent keeping these plants alive -
If you are an orchid lover, please let me know. The tag that came with the plant says
PHALAENOSIS Orchid. The flowers are white with purple edges and pink centers. And sadly its already beginning to go downhill due to the fact that I own it! It also has very healthy green leaves at the bottom.

I would love to have any perennials that do well in the sun in Texas summers…

I don’t have plants for swapping, but my question is this: Do any of you gardeners have a remedy for the offshoots from Yopon Holly? I know there are growth inhibitors that work successfully on some plants, but I don’t know which inhibitors will work on Yopons.
