Want to trade plants?

[Cheering472]

What a nice idea. I live too far to join you. I'm getting rid of some lambs ear. I think Ms Kitty may have some lambs ear she'd love to give away too. Be careful, they were loaded. she got stung.

In case you were waiting to see the plant that makes you swoon before you want to trade - here are two more plants that I could share!

Purple Heat - A happy little plant that you can put almost anywhere. Do make sure to take a bit inside over the winter - because it doesn't always do well in the cold. Having said that, I've left mine outside for years. It is a ground cover that blooms the pretty, delicate flowers.

A mimosa tree - I have a couple shoots (babies) that I would be happy to share. They are easy to grow, and can get really big. But, you can cut them back, personal choice. I love the fluffy blooms! I use the leaves to flower arrangments sometimes, a great sub for ferns. The supply on this tree is a little more limited, so let me know if you want to put your name on one!

I'm sure I will come up with something else I can share before it is over!

I'm so jealous of you guys with green thumbs. I kill everything. I even kill succulents- granted it takes time- but I kill them none the less

st--I have tons of this purple jew (that's what we call it) in my yard. I just pull it up and throw it wherever I want it to grow and it does...sometimes too much! I also have several huge mimosas in my front yard and they come up everywhere-- I do love the blooms and the butterflies do too.

When you move down here I would be happy to give you some pointers. Some plants - like the century plant - just can't be killed if they are in the ground! I love plants like that.

This is the first year I have noticed mimosa sprouts - and we have lived in the same spot over ten years. I think when it got cut back by the power company it spurred the unusual growth. Unfortunately this tree in right under the power lines. Guess that was planned out right...

I've never seen those mimosa trees in sowal....just at brunch. ;-)
They are very pretty. How long do they bloom?

Mine get those "bean" seed pods after the bloom--and the seeds go everywhere!

They are pretty--but most horticulturists in this area consider them to be weeds...what do they know!!! They bloom here in June for about 3-4 weeks.
