I think I am the last receiver! Thanks much to Roxanne who sent a wonderful package. Large divisions of Dancing Queen and Fantasy Island. Both are beautiful and much appreciated. After a long drink, I got them planted in a small bed near my deck where I can see them every day. Cheers. Scrappinmusicm...

There was a little interest in a summer trade, so we'll try it. This will be a quick turnaround. Thanks to Steg for the format of the email (from the spring trade!) To sign-up, send me a PM with the subject “Secret Trade” by Wednesday, August 11th containing the following: Name Address Hallson’s Nic...

As you saw from my previous post, I missed out on the spring trade. Has there been any talk (or interest) in a Summer trade?

Would love to participate.

Wow it's been a long time since I last visited the forums. Too busy in the winter and then forgot about them :oops: this spring. Everybody seems to be really busy with the Hosta Convention in June and all of the great looking plants in the gardens. It is always great to get a boost from the fellow a...

Alright, alright, I am a bit tardy at posting a HUGE THANK YOU to ZZTopsoil (Lelan) for feeding my addiction to wavy, curly, music hosta. I loved the way the box was decorated (I'll attempt to post some pictures) but was more excited at the plants. It was soooo much fun to unwrap. It was almost like...

OK, I'll sign up. Twist my arm a little harder...... my PM is on the way!!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully you're getting more emails than responses to this thread!!

Dorothy- So sorry, but don't worry I will get you some plants! I have sent you a private message. Anyone know the standard protocol when someone doesn't follow through on the secret trade? Do I alert the future trade 'hosts" that person XXXX did not follow through? I have tried conctating the other ...

I'd like to thank everyone for letting me host the summer trade. I really enjoyed getting to know all of you. If you have not received your trade, please let me know.

I'd like to thank Jin (jgh) for sending me Christmas in a box! They arrive Friday at my mom's and she gave then a good drink until I got home!

I received my secred trade and I am so happy. And Scrappinmusicmommy is so cute...yes cute! In addition to sending three wonderful hosta - all new to my hosta list, she wrote almost two pages of informaton about the plants -- everything you would want to know and more. It saved me some research tim...

Laura-

You're too fast, but at least 4 trades were sent out today!!

The hosta fix is coming soon everyone!

Looks like you all had a great time and made some nice hauls. Hopefully one of you is my secret trader (wishful thinking)....

Wish I lived closer to some of these hybridizers. I'd probably spend too much.

Steg-

Yep, I was up late. Got involved in the day and forgot to get the names out.

Nice reminder Alexa. I'm off to ensure that mine's up to date.
