Sheesh I just checked, and we're a little over 4 hrs from Danville...we're reeeeally southern illinois. So, I think we should chance mailing it - be cheaper for me to buy a bunch than the gas money we'd both spend getting together! Though I hope to be going up that way one of these days when I go back to NY to visit - may be we can get together then...I'll plot out my route on here, and get together with anyone that wants to on my route like Loz did - I think that would be so cool

You should be able to send them in the mail. Get a start like you did for your garden. I am assuming it has roots? If so place them in a baggie with some soil to protect the roots and wet it to keep it moist during mailing. Seal the bag around the stem and put it in a box and send right away. Oh and I would put some shredded newspaper to keep it from getting tosseled all over the place.

I don't see why that would not work. I am going to have to look up passion flower and maybe I will beg you for some too!

Triss if you want some just holler at me!

I have an orange trumpet vine. I love it! The hummingbirds love it! It does send up shoots all over, but if you can mow around it, you just mow them down. It does need a post to grow up, will grow 40 ft tall. It does take a few years to get started but once it does, you will love it. Petuna

Where are you coming in NY? I live in Genesee county, near Batavia,NY Wondered if you would bring me a passion plant also? Petuna
