I'm haven't even been to the farm to see what is coming up & ready for trades, but I know I'll have:

elephant ears, a good range of varieties
butterfly gingers, several named varieties
variegated Ficus benjimina, one or two small plants
Oxalis triangularis/Purple Shamrock
Hopi red-dye Amaranth plants (stunning accent plant, 3-5', reseeds)
Ti Plants/Cordylines, maybe some newly rooted stock of different varieties
Ruellia, tall purple, divisions
Ruellia, short pink, divisions
mini ivy (Hedera helix), very finely cut leaves
Hoya sherpherdii ("green bean hoya"), rooted and growing
Portulaca grandiflora, full sun succulent, large flowers, several colors, including nice bi-colors
Acidanthera/Peacock Orchid (Gladiolus callianthus), bulbs - bloom late summer when little else does!

That's all I can think of off the top of my head for now. I figure trades will vary depending on the plant (not all will be 1:1) and on whether the coleus are cuttings or established plants.

I'm hope someone will have Schizophrenia, Japanese Giant, Plum Brocade, Fright Night... among many other favorites. I'm open to suggestions.
