http://chumleycycads.com/index.html I just ordered from him yesterday. Tell him that Wes White in Topeka told you about him. He has been doing this for almost 20 years now. He specializes in just the thing you are looking for and also will sell you the trees at a cheaper price than anybody. I ordered a Guizhouensis / Taitungensis cross that he makes. The Caudex is softball size and is letting me have it for $25. Thats just ONE example of his prices. Just tell him Wes White from Topeka told you about him.

I sort of get the feeling we can never "so to speak "get the horse back into the barn" now after so many years of intentional and accidental transportation of various animals, insects, pests, and even plants all around the world, and having any new palm pest somewhere possibly where they could be a major problem should be a major concern, but considering how poorly we're still doing regarding preventing unwelcome species of plants and animals from migrating to other parts of the world, I'm not sure that problem can ever be controlled!! Speaking of beetles though, I've heard of how bad Japanese Beetles can be in a garden ,and it seems they only just arrived in ln my garden in the past few years, though I'm stuck with them from now on most likely, and I'd still curse the person who first brought "infected" plants in that had them many years ago. That of course is only the tip of the iceberg , where unwelcome imports are concerned, but meanwhile I still like to see new exotic, non-native species comming in, since they provide so much beauty in some cases and added interest to our gardens.

Well then look for us next year -- same time, same place. We had a few internet bidders, but mostly it was locals, and, as expected, we had more roses than bidders. So there were some great deals to be had. I was "bottom fishing," (i.e. searching for those rarities that didn't get much bidding attention from anyone else) and ended up spending only a total of $80 for ten roses, all for interesting varieties that are mostly new to me. But now I have them and will post photos as they bloom. I got roses that run the gamut: Ain't She Sweet -- Joe Winchel's hot pink hybrid tea from the same line that produced the rose "Dolly Parton." Beauty Within -- a new J & P yellow floribunda. introduction that won "best floribunda" at the International Rose Trial at Rose Hills just last month. Bukavu -- a Louis Lens hybrid musk that has been winning at rose shows recently. Honorine de Brabant -- a striped OGR bourbon for my stripey collection. Merveille des Rouges -- a red polyantha. New Orleans -- a brand new shrub introduction from Heirlooms this year that I'm excited about. Robert Clements -- an Heirlooms old classic that has many good reports, but I've never seen this orange shrub in person. Schubert -- a mauve shrub that grows like a polyantha Summer Fashion -- a pastel yellow and pink floribunda I used to grow and remember liking. Vif Eclat -- a red hybrid musk, which I bought because hybrid musks are usually pink and white, so this seemed very unusual. Again, I'll post pics when I have them of these, and we hope to see you next year. Btw, Connie was correct -- we don't ship for free, but rather at "our cost," which mean you pay for shipping, but only the actual cost of postage and supplies, nothing for our labor and no markups of any kind.
