I got a catalog from National Geographic and they are selling them as Christmas gifts for $99. Says they are exclusive. Kris

I just received the Napastyle Holiday catalog that's full of things that are not Christmas related, as well as ones that are. Always love looking at the catalog (and Michael Chiarello, he's so cute and young) order very little but it's not one I get every week, like some of them. I could spend big bucks on things I don't need or have a place for.

I have the first two trades done of the year, but I haven't ordered from anywhere, yet. I have a few new ones I've never planted before, so I'm hoping to get some good results from them (Michael and I are both doing white Magnolias from seed, so I'm sure you'll hear updates from both of us lol). I also am going to try Yucca, Lilac, Stella D'Oro Daylilies, and I think that's it for the newbies. My lists are updated if anyone feels like taking a look :). I only have three kinds of seeds to offer, and not much of the milkweed or ironweed, but people are welcome to them. Brad AKA Moonwolf

I got my beautiful Tantau catalog yesterday, plus a second catalog showing their cut roses for the florist industry. Not sure why they sent that one, and it was as big as the garden roses catalog. I hate to see them waste money sending the florist catalog to me, though. Their catalogs are among the most beautiful I've seen. In the florist catalog, they showed photos of their state of the art greenhouses and other facilities. One greenhouse even had a brick walkway. They were the best looking greenhouses I've ever seen. Now I want even more of their roses. Oh, the frustration. Diane
