Re: Plant swapping

I feel your pain 7's! I know a lot of people don't love them! My ground outside my gardens is heavy red clay so my daylillies stay put where I want them. Actually, the fact that they will grow in heavy red clay with no soil alteration is very telling in how hardy they are!

<span style="color: #3333FF">We just started so we don't have anything to swap yet. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crybaby.gif[/img] However, if someone wants to take pity and send us some pretty stuff, we'd be happy.

I've been seeing (and wanting) a lot of redbud trees and some others with pretty white flowers.

I'd pick up the lilies. But I think you're a little far from me. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif[/img] We just planted some lilies, they're in bloom now, and we brought a piece of the daylilies that we had in NY. </span>
