Magic! Please read if you want a Raspberry Sundae

10 years ago

If you want a Raspberry Sundae, the cost is $45 plus postage. It is a single tip, just about ready to bloom. John Carroll is the seller. He always helps Emerson at the PSA sales. These are his first plants he has 8 to sell. He rooted them and was planning on selling them at the Ft Bend PSA sale, this would be his first time selling his plants. Nancy told me about him, Bless Nancy, she has such a good heart. After I contacted him, he called Nancy, she has agreed to help him, figure postage and mail out the plants. Payment for plant and postage will be paid thru Emersons Paypal. This could not have happened without the help of Nancy. If the people that I was getting a plant for in Ft Bend want to go this route, and get their plant faster, that is ok with me. Just let me know, believe me there are people in Texas that want those plants. You will need to email me to get Johns phone number and email address, so you can contact him and make arrangements.

Ohh... so tempting especially the part about "Just about ready to bloom". I'm so wanting one that's ready to bloom and soon! Do you know how big it is? Are all 8 ready to bloom or just the one?

Thank you Barbra!

In ancient times when man had not gotten around to inventing the wristwatch, the most reliable source of telling the time was the sun, moon, and stars. It is more than likely that each farmer had a planting calendar based on the moon phases, and there would be different variations depending on the geographical location. As their calendars were passed on through the generations they evolved to cover the different crops they tried to grow, and the more productive farming techniques used. It was noticed that different plants grow better when they were planted during different phases of the moon. Presumably, each of these phases imparts an influence on the way vegetation grows on the planet, through whatever forces may be active. To provide more accurate records it was even noted that certain crops fared better when planted while the moon was in a specific constellation, not just light or dark. Can you really dismiss something out of hand, simply because you don't understand it? In that case algebra, corporate sports and Miley Cyrus have no meaning for me, even though they all influence the world significantly. Steve, who means no offense

Mmm... I prefer strawberry, but raspberry will do! My DH drives truck for a living (not what he would like to be doing) and called this morning saying that in the Harrisburg, PA area there was a good foot of snow on the ground. In all his years of driving truck, he has never seen that kind of accumulation there. But when he tired of hearing the complaints about the amount of snow, he couldn't help it. He told them they ought to see the 3 feet of snow on the level that he had left at home! When asked where the heck home was for him, he replied, 'Ontario'. They then rolled their eyes and said, 'Oh, you're from THERE...!'

I got my Raspberry Sundae cutting!

Hi Peg, Thank you. I am sure that you can appreciate the level of excitement I had when I realized I was going to get my Raspberry Sundae but I have to say, I am EQUALLY as thrilled about getting the Pink Lemon Swirl!! This to my knowledge is even more rare than my Raspberry Sundae! I am honestly thinking that if either cutting takes more than 2 months to root(there both under my 600 watt HPS light which I try to keep on for at least 12-14 hours a day), I will send them to Luc for grafting. Surgery is scheduled for 1-24-12 at 1:30pm. I have to be at the hospital by 11:30am. I have that I cannot eat or drink after midnight and then because of the anesthetic I have to be on a clear liquid diet until the next morning. That is so hard. I remember the last time I drank tons of chicken broth, and I ate a bunch of Italian Ice and sherbet. Oh the joys of being in the hospital! LOL! Take care Peg and Happy Holidays! Andrew

Please, any idea for a magically disappearing door?
Q
Comments (34)
Okay, I showed all these ideas to the GC and he still likes his too modern metal and glass surface mounted in the dining room thing that I'm not having. :) But I did find out why no kitchen side slider or pocket door. The city said no. And one picks one's battles with the city. They also didn't allow the sink vent pipe under the slab, and made us route it though the cupboads (luckily, it was behind the trash). They passed everything else, however, and fates willing will also pass us on final. Having just read about ... can't remember the OP's handle, and SF's and others' problems with plan check, and I feel much better about giving up my pocket door and getting my permits right away. Rubyfig, that's actually a very good suggestion--but the room isn't big enough. Two steps in from the door and you're at the chairs. It could hang like an arras, more or less flush, but would have to be drawn aside like a curtain. Although... Now that you mention it, if I have to have hardware on the dining room side, I'd much rather have a tapestry rod than a door mechanism. I even have some partially complete canvas hangings I could finish and use. :D Hm... An artcloth opportunity. If I put copper tubing in the sides it would give some heft and framework. It could slide or bend. And I wouldn't have to move the switches. Hm... This version is still really inconvenient, but it has possibilities... I could even do bypass panels, a la Homepro's link, but without the lower track. A narrow panel on the short side. A wide panel that would cover more than the door, and slide rather solidly (maybe a pull too), and a sheer panel in front that could cover just the door, and provide depth over the heavier panel, but just drape over the door when it's open... What an idea!! Turn it into an art project!!!! I'm going to think about this some more... ROTFL! Fori, I love the no-baby-squashing-porthole!! Lynne, that's a great door! Lascatx, thanks for the new link. It's like the old Pella door, huh? It might be possible if it could be recessed. I'll have to check. But the more it settles, the more I'm thinking I like this whole art opportunity idea. It would still be a bit inconvenient and a bother, but it would look good. And I can finish it in my own time and still use the kitchen.

Lynn he did all 12 at the same time. I have 4 on hold and the 8 others are all the same size and he said will bloom by next month, so I think they are the same size, if you want to get one from him, that is ok with me. You will have it a month ahead of the other, but it will cost you $5 more, just let me know if you buy it thru him. I made a package deal buying 4 and got a better price. Barbra

Lynn, Nancy is helping him do this, he doesn't know how to mail plants. He needs to go to the post office get the boxes then Nancy will help him figure the cost. He will only charge you the actual postage, so please just be patient. He works nights, he will get in touch with you when Nancy has the postage figured. Barbra

You should get a commission Barb!

Once I read an article in RN magazine about calling patients names like honey or dear and how we shouldn`t do that. Well, let me tell you, in Texas NOT calling people dear, honey, sugah, sweetie, or whatever is considered rude lol

Come to OC if you want to see rude. Don't get me wrong I love the weather here and all the fun things to do, but the kind of people who live here are totally different from what I am accustomed to growing up.

I just have to shake my head when I hear parents giving a boob job as a high school graduation gift. It's no wonder when we took our kids back home to WI for DH's reunion they had a ball! Everyone was so warm, welcoming and so down to earth! They will turn down Hawaii to go back to WI any day.

As for Barbra yes she should charge a finder's fee and we will all happily pay! Thank you Barbra. You make a lot of people happy! I hope you have a great time at the coast. Can't wait to hear what else is blooming!

Hi Barbra!!

You sure are a "sweetie!!!" LOL.. i am one to call people all sorts of things.. mostly, nice things!! ;-) We here in the south, usually are the ones to say "sir" and "ma'am" We were taught this at a very early age to show respect to our elders as well as others..,, I find myself saying this to people while working and some find it offensive up north. They think it is rude to call someone ma'am because it makes them feel old. Once i explain that im from the south and we do this as a gesture of warmth.. they are alright with it. My kids extend their hand to meet someone, they open the door for a lady.. it is just the southern way..

I also can see the difference in people in NY, In all cities actually.. i can find the goodness in all places, some have this shell around them and once you can break the shell, you can find the warm kind hearted ways in people..

Lynn.. i understand about the way they dish out $ to the kids.. i feel the same as you about doing this to the kids.. I believe one has to "earn" to appreciate what they have.. These people seem to do this because they feel guilty...

I also like to visit WI. I drove a huge Combine ( Case.. and John Deere) and had the farmers smiling as i sprayed Nitrogen on the fields.. they couldn't believe we found this fun!! My kids love visiting places like that too!

As far as the people in OC, Costa Mesa.. i have met some wonderful people there as well. Good hearted people who will do anything for you...These are great friends and i am so thankful to have met such wonderful people!!!

We can find rude in any place...in any city, North or South. East and West Coast. We just have to weed out those people.. ;)

We here on this forum understand what it means to find goodness and love to help everyone. That is why people who love flowers, plants are such kind , wonderful souls..

Thank you to all of you here.. You guys and gals are simply the best!! Ok.. ill stop. I just wanted to share what i think of you guys!! ;-)

Thank you Barbra for taking your time to help others find what they are looking for!! We also like to give hugs and kisses here in Virginia!! xoxox to YOU!!! lol..

Take care,

Laura

Hello heartsmart66.
You may want to check out Florida Colors. They have a website, just google them. It would be a grafted tree, but they are very reasonable.

Good luck and let us know if you were able to get one or not.

I know that Florida Colors have them and had some pics, may want to check there for pics. Tex also posted that he will be selling plants at the PSA Plant sale in case you cant find RS locally.

Here is a link that might be useful: Raspberry Sundae Pic

Thank you Barbra for trying last year for the Raspberry Sundae. I think he was just to busy.. Very nice gentleman tho... ;-)

Roxanne, if you are looking for Musk Rainbow, I got one from Matt at Island Plumeria two summers ago. It was a single tip, but it bloomed last summer to give two tips, and I think I see it crowning today. Fast grower! Either that, or it's the Foliage Pro (thanks, Laura)! ;-)

Gidgetsocal,
I think its your Foliage Pro, as I have had my Musk Rainbow since 2006, and its grown but I would def not consider it a fast growers at all..lol. I use to spray my plumies with SNG, double strength 2x a week, would get tons of inflos and crazy growth from it. The plants would grow so fast that the branches were too soft and would droop/sag. I now only use 12 mon time released Nutricote and sometimes Miracle grow liquid hose end fertilizer. Personally I prefer my plants a bit slow growing as they do not take up as much space, plus since I do not live close to my patch the 45min plus drive is a bit much to feed my plumies couple times a week.
So I agree with you that it is most likely your foliage pro.

Congrats though on the amazing growth. George Brown/Musk Rainbow is one of my top favs.

Cheers
