It's that time of year again - time for another plant swap. I feel like I say the same thing in every post, so I'm going to be lazy this time. Here is a link to every other time I've done this: Plant Swaps
Now that that's over I can give you an idea of what I took to and came home with:
Took:
Narcissus bulbs
Root Beer plants
Cream irises
Lavender irises
Giant sunflowers
Tropical hibiscus
Garden phlox
Dwarf papyrus
Pickerel weed
And lots of lots of pots!
So here's what I brought home:
Mimosa tree
Angel's trumpets
Stokes aster
Day lilies
Heather
Giant sunflowers
Spider plant
And a few things that I don't remember, plus different pots!
As we go to more of these things, I end up taking more and coming home with less. It make sense - In the beginning, I saw it as, "FREE PLANTS!" and I brought home everything I could. Generally, 20 percent would die in the driveway before I got around to doing something with them. As the years went on, I became more selective - which meant I brought home fewer plants and a smaller number of plants died in the driveway. All of this is a good - this year I have plans for most of the plants I brought home and they shouldn't stay in the driveway long - especially with as hot as it has become lately.
So that's it - that's my plant swap blog post. Hope everyone enjoyed it. See you next post.
