          @pete Mrs Shiney says that she would like a couple of Rhodos, if you still have them and a ginger lily if you have one. :dbgrtmb: Her ginger lily died over the winter. :sad:

          Thanks :)

            Ok @shiney the rhodos are not big, only a couple of inches, but should do ok this summer.
            You probably know it's never to be considered a "rampant" climber, more just a bit special.:)

            Got gingers coming out my ears.:biggrin:

                          I'm interested in some of these @pete . I'm trying to think of things that I have that might appeal to you: I've a couple of small plants of Furcraea grown from seed last year from @longk .
                          Furcraea

                          I also have a few seedlings of Oryza sativa Black Madras growing from seed sown this spring. I have just bought seeds of Campsis radicans, Veratrum nigrum and Ferula communis I don't have many but you are welcome to some.

                          If you are interested in a Dahlia with a very exotic/unusual flower I have well rooted cuttings of Verrone's Obsidian.

                            Well we will be in Essex.:snork:

                            Strange place Essex, they actually charge you to enter and leave, unless of course you do it under the cover of darkness.;)
                            Just going to apply for my visa and then I should be all set, (checks passport):scratch::biggrin:

                            Thanks John, must admit I'm not really looking for swaps, i've got too much stuff as it is.
                            Having said that Ferula and the dahlia both look interesting to me.:)
