Picture of my plants from the PSA sale

10 years ago

I took this picture to show what I brought home from the PSA sale yesterday. 5 have 3 tips, 1 has 4 tips( Mr Ambassador, and one has 5 tips( JL Allison), Bill Moragne only has 1 tip. I measured the distance from the ground to the base of my car window it's 36 inches. I am very happy with my plants, can't wait to plant them at the coast. Yes, Lynn I am over my limit. Barbra

Nice plants. You did a good job packing too. I put about 20 of my plants in the ground this am so I will have to check tags to answer your question about who I bought from. I will try to do that and get back to you tomorrow.

Hi James! Nice to see you! I just went and re-read that article at plumeria101. Thanks for reminding me. I've never used Fungaway but did use Bayer Advanced 3 in 1. Last year, with "life" happening, I didn't use anything. My rust problems were horrible. I wonder if the black tip would have been avoided had I used it routinely. I shopped in the wrong place yesterday and couldn't find some of my staple items. Fish emulsion cost me twice as much and I could not get Bayer products. I ended up with a Bonide copper fungicide that I hope will work. It's almost time for rust to start! Grrrrr on that! K - what are you going to do about 8 tips? Will you try to remove some of them? My Yolanda tip sealed over and she is pushing 6 tips now. The dumbest thing about my Waimea black tipping was that I kept procrastinating on cutting the tip off. Finally one day I went out and just whacked off a good 6 inches, making sure to go that far so I was past any rot. Well, had I taken the time to actually look at it, I would have found that it was already pushing more tips! Hmph! I console myself with the fact that there was probably rot there anyway, right? I mean that is right, right?? lol

Jen, I was so lost without you this year lol. Maybe that's why I couldn't get what I wanted most: Guadalupe Fernandez. Kms2 was actually 2 persons behind me in line ;) His wife and daughters also came later. Did you take any pictures K? Kenny

Awe... that look like fun! You guys make a great team! It's so much more fun going with a fellow addict huh? Going w/ the family was a little hectic last year for me. I kept losing my baby girl! Then at the end they went to load the van and I was still inside looking one last time and I lost them all! No idea where DH parked, so I sat at the step waiting for them to come find me. LOL. If I go this year I need to find a partner. :) Anyway congrats on your haul! Everything look so healthy!

I wanted to let every know what I bought home beside my Wildfire. I also bought a penang peach 14 inches tall, with 3 tiny tips, and a Bill Moragne, 20 inches 1 tip, both are 1 inch thick. K bought 4 plants, all I remember is that his California Sally, was as thick as a log. He got some really nice plants to add to his collection. We got to meet Nancy and Emerson, and Tex. We got to visit with Joan, who introduced me to Ivysmom. I got to meet everyone that I wanted to, and I don't think I even needed those feathers. It was a great day. Barbra

K, did all the packing, he did a great job. He layed the plants on pillows, and they slept all the way home. Joan, I have to say, your husband did a great job packing that hugh confetti. I think he was more excited about it than you were. I am so glad he talked you into buying it. Barbra

Congratulations on your plants. So many multi tips. I am also looking for Bill now (thanks a lot Simi Dude ;)!

Maybe I will get to meet all of you next year. I just hope K or Joan's DH will be there to help me pack my purchases into the car. Those guys rock when it comes to packing plumeria!!!!

Oh, my, Barbra! Great haul! I think most of us could be nicknamed "Over My Limit" LOL!

Cointx, if you're in Texas, you need to make one of those sales. They are a blast, and you get to meet nice people like Barbra and K, and Joan and George from Houston who usually work them.

The reason I went over the limit, was the price, all the plants I bought at the sale were $30, except for Pretty Princess which was $45, 19" from the soil line, it has 3 thick tips (size of half dollars), 5 of the plants I came home with are 29" and taller from the soil line. I have to straighten out Allison and Bill Moragne, that will be easy enough to do. I already have s stick in Allison, all 5 tips are leaning to one side, I had to use a rock to hold up the pot., I cannot plant them until I go back to the coast on July 30th. Now I am wishing I would have bought that Bangkok Fire. Nongrafted for $30, it has 5 stars, and FC is sold out. George do you know its growing habits, and fragrance? Barbra

Hi Barbra,
I do not have Bangkok Fire. Most Thai varieties are not tall growers, even though there are some all growers (like Wakwo). Most likely it is a medium size tree.

I am Pretty sure that Mr. A was actually a left over from the Clear Lake Sale.

We still had all sorts of room even without taking out the car seats. All the ones which were short enough to stand up under the bed cover panels were snug in a large box (given to us by Nancy Willis) and the tall ones were laid over pillows and then beach towels placed over their containers to prevent movement. All except Mr. A which got to ride on the backseat floorboard.

LOL Laura. I'll give you back the cooler if you come. we can pack it full of plumerias and use it as checked baggage (redneck couture).

CoinTx, its worth it to make one of the sales because you do get really good info and there are like minded people all over the place.

It is a team sport. One of us makes a break for the rare plants and the other gets a cart and sometimes we throw in a distraction like faking a slip or fall in the doorway and blocking, etc. You know just all good clean fun. :)
