I got my trade from Dorothy (Astilbeblu) this morning! She was called out of town and had computer problems when she returned. I'm just so glad she is ok. Natalie and I were worried about her.
I got nice divisions of:
"Allegan Fog"
"Independence"
"Otome no Ka"
and a dwarf Goatsbeard (I had one at my old house and didn't get it moved, so I am glad to have another one!)
Thanks Dorothy, it was worth the wait!!

I got mine last night from Hilbourn1985 (Stephanie) and she obviously figured out what I wanted.
All these are big divisions:
1. First Mate (tetraploid of Kabitan, so it has some substance to it with bright yellow center)
2. William Lachman, which I had gotten last year but it died over the winter before I could use it in my hybridizing program
3. Pandora's Box, looking very healthy, so hopefully it will grow for me instead of dwindle
4. Warwick Comet, which I love the look of, and tried to grow last year but somehow it escaped from the ground during the winter and I found it, replanted not knowing what it was, looking like Cherish when it came up. (Cherish is a mini from Baby bunting, so I'm tallking really small.) I'm still not 100% certain if that's what it is. But I know this one is the right one and it's really nice!
All arrived looking perfect.
Thanks Stephanie, You done good!! And thanks to Nathalie for organizing this!

Hi everybody! My computer is finally up and running! Jo I'm glad you recieved your package. I hope your plants arrived in good shape. It got pretty warm that week. I'm enjoying the plants I recieved. My puppy thought she needed to help me out in the garden and dug up my new Hadspen Samphire!! I wanted to wring her little neck! I think I saved the crown and roots. We'll see what happens. It was looking so pretty next to my Big Daddy.
Dorothy
We've saved the best trade for last! 
Due to my being away and my trader having unexpected trips out of town we agreed to a later date thru Nathalie. Cindy, (sorry i don't know your forum name) sent me 3 fabulous, nice sized divisions of, Swirls, Dress Blues, and First Frost, all new to me. She also included a photo album where I'm placing all of this years plant pics and new garden gloves. How'd you know I needed a new pair of those? My old ones have holes in the finger tips. Thank you very much, I love everything you sent. And a special thanks to Nathalie for doing the additional work of getting this trade finished.
