Dana, since you have nearly every desirable plant, it will be difficult to trade with you WITHOUT a list of plants you are looking for. "^_^"

Hi,
I would like some of your blue ginger. I have a Cestrum nocturnum to trade. Have not updated my page in a long time but have a look anyway.
Thanks,
Julia

Hey I can get you some wild trumpet vine if you want. It will be cuttings. I live in western NC it grows great around here. Loves full sun, dies back in fall. Just let me know if it's somthing you want. If you do want it will talk trade later.

tess 1893 I am afraid that wild trumpet vines are not good in zone 9 as they are very invasive in our area. They have been known to kill trees even. I have seen them with trunks over 4 inches in dia. climbing up trees and killing those trees. It took me 5 years to kill one on a house I lived in on the coast. The root was over 12 feet long running just under the surface of the soil. I should have used stump killer but did not know at that time. Yes they are nice if they are farther north say even in Colorado, but not south Texas or anyplace in zone 9.

Thanks Wally, I didn't know they were that invasive down there. They do not get as big as you described here. Probably cause in fall and winter they die back. They can get leggy and climb but usually on pasture fences, road signs and the occasional trellis. They like to put out runners more than climb high here. They probably could if kudzu was choking them, along with other plants, out. If they are maintained to be more of a bush they are beautiful. thanks for the info.
