Kenesha-- I got it off eBay! We'll see how that goes. By two-tone do you mean the yellow-pink? That was Mike who has that in the supposed to be yellow thread. LOL at a new low of hiding a plant in the basement! Karen and Hong LOL at how we all totally do that... trying to hide it long enough to say something isn't new truthfully. or saying "I've had that" and meaning "i've had that since I got it 10 minutes ago." :P Val-- yes, after a while they catch on. I was laughing at this and he asked what I was laughing at. I told him it was about other people who try to hide new plant purchases. he was like "Oh, like you do?" Not as sneaky as I think :P But truthfully, i rarely actually buy something. It's more like trades, and I try to sell something to cover my costs. He doesn't like the idea of getting more though. He feels like indoor plants are inherently dirty (think Adrian Monk kind of personality and you've got it) and that plants outside are great. Coupled with a move, he feels they are wastes of time, space, and totally all cluttery lol. I sometimes hide them in my bag. I will then put them in the back room when he's in the shower and try to blend them in. Then a month or so later, I may move them to the right position :)

The Lily Auction is a great place to buy. But very addictive. Also you can get carried away and pay too much. Plus shipping charges can easily add up if you order here and there willy nilly. Plus while most of the sellers are at least adequate, afew are not much good and some are just absolutely fabulous. Some always give bonus, others never do. If rust is an issue watch out, not ALL gardens are rust free. In fact the very southern ones spray for rust but you can still get it. Also just because something is listed at a particular price doesn't mean its a bargain, prices really varry on there from seller to seller. If it said it reblooms, that means in Florida, not reblooms for you. Read the action description VERY carefully. Some are for immediate delivery, some for fall delivery which means after mid september and some only for next spring delivery. I personally would never buy something now for delivery next spring. Its like you are loaning that seller money so they can go out and buy the plant they are listing and then hope it increases. If they don't have it next spring, oh well too bad. They had had your money forever. You do get it back but like I said, like you loaned it to someone. However late in the fall and over winter it is common to list for spring and that works out well.
