Only real pic I got was of the yellow tree that my wife and I love in Leu Gardens. (which it won't seem to let me post right now for some reason) I was mostly interested in tropical fruit and some butterfly/hummingbird flowers. I came home with a Starfruit tree for $15 and a Sweet Almond bush for $10. My wife got a small gardenia for $8 and a blue flowering bush I've forgotten the name of. I was absolutely amazed that Hopkins Nursery was selling 3 gallon peach trees for $10 and loquats for $5, but unfortunately I have those already or I would have snagged some in a heartbeat. I was very tempted by some honeysuckle that smelled amazing, but I'm worried about how invasive it is, so need to do more research first.

Nick and I are going to hit it today too. He wants a new CP and then he wants to to go to Hollywood Studios, LOL, but he's still just 10. Did anyone get anything good? Was anyone selling carnivores? Last year at all the plant sales I bought gingers for under the Oak and Chinese Lantern tree on the border of my garden. While I was in India the neighbor cut down the Lantern tree and trimmed back the oak severly well over my yard. I probably had $300 worth of gingers under it that are all going white with sunburn. That was my only safe spot to grow them. But I don't want another 'enemy' neighbor. I already don't get along with my south neighbor. when he move in (we live in a circle cul-de-sac) he didn't know where the property line was and he cut down all of my plants in a flower bed including a papaya, a bay leaf, and a bougie. Then he argued about the property line! Like it had magically moved just because he moved in. Oh well.

Short report: nice show and nice gardens although the roses weren't in bloom this early. It was nice to be IN Orlando instead of driving thru it going somehwere else. Nice city. Lake Eola (sp?) is so pretty with it's swan boats (for rent?)and fountain in the middle. Good selection of OGR roses as well as roses on fortuniana, hard to find stuff. Bamboo,lots of tropicals, fruit trees, blueberries, butterfly and hummingbird plants, flowers, etc. Gardeners walking around in a daze, not looking where they are walking due to head swivelling constantly, lol. Babies being pulled in wagons and being displaced by plants, so added to the pedestrian melee. I never got MY wagon (stopped at many many places, too much $$) but saw what someone else did to imitate (photo to follow in another thread). tampasteve-thanks again for the vendor map link. parking was INSANE (9:30) but we got lucky. Never would have gotten a map because once you park inside you don't walk past the entrance to get info. Best to come prepared. Denise

Because I'm bringing a friend who has never been to Leu, we will have to get in at 9 a.m. My husband is going to drop us off because I KNOW parking will be a bear. Then he will pick us up when we are finished. What a deal! He will even help us load up our goodies. What a blast!
