Saturday,October 10th was our fall plant swap on beautiful Lake Jackson ,at Florala on the Alabama/Florida line.Pam Thompson hosts this event twice a year and ,as usual,she did a terrific job.Attendance was down from previous years but ,even so, we had people from Georgia,Alabama and Florida.In past years they have come from as far away as Canada.Trading was brisk and literally truckloads of plants changed hands.In my case,I went determined not to bring back any plants.Famous last words of course.My truck was so loaded,on the return trip,the tailgate was dragging the ground.I received some really nice additions to the Brug collection and some Voodoo lilies
among other things.I think Pineapple and Gloriosa lilies were in the mix and even a variegated yucca plant followed me home.I didn‘t even know there were variegated yuccas.Trading and visiting were followed by a good meal at the local Chinese restaurant,a door prize drawing(everyone wins)and more visiting.I’m already looking forward to next spring.
A couple of last minute notes here;
New people who are considering coming to future swaps need to know that it isn’t all trading.Most of us bring many extras and they are given away just for the asking.Last but not least I would like to thank Carol(ctbig) on Daves
Garden for the use of her photo.My camera was where it usually is when I need it,at home.

And finally,a link to Pam and Toms website;turn up the volumn and enjoy.
