            I, now, like the look of the variegated Yucca too :)

            Let me know which Coleus / Iresine you want? and I'll propagate some for you.

              Good idea for a thread Sal.

              Are we exchanging cuttings or rooted cuttings?

              I was assuming rooted cuttings - as I was thinking they'd be a bit poorly after a couple of days travelling and thus the losses would be higher.

              But maybe that makes no difference to all your green fingered folk? !!

              I like the sound of the Japanese Medlar, but alas I have nothing to offer in exchange at the moment :frown: , I'll have to see what I can come up with :)

                I don't have any cuttings to swap, but at least this thread has spurred me on to take some. Hopefully I'll get some rooted and have them ready to swap in the spring.
