There are approximately 56 plants requested on the Zone 9 list (separate thread). Below is an updated list for Zone 10, again, this doesn't include whoever e-mailed Lisa directly. ZONE---GW NAME---HOW MANY 10-----annafl------------------3 10-----barbcoleus-------------2 10-----butterflygardener-------2 or 3 10-----chrisaggie--------------5 10-----cindeea----------------2 10-----coffeemom-------------? ? ? 9------floridays----------------2 10-----gcmastiffs--------------12 10-----growgrow--------------? ? ? 10-----jupiterplants------------2 10-----katkin------------------? ? ? 10-----lady--------------------? ? ? 9------msmarion---------------2 10-----pamelainfl--------------1 10-----trini1-------------------? ? ? 10-----tropicalfreak-----------3 10-----vireyafl----------------4 10-----wanda662-------------1 or 2 10-----wanna run faster--------? ? ? There's a couple of zone 9's on here, because it's easier for them to pick up plants from Lisa. Looks like this Zone 10 list is pretty close to 55 plants requested. Lisa, will you need any of the 2nd flat to supply plants to everyone that's requested them via e-mail? Are we anywhere close to needing to say no more are available?

It would be too confusing to try to keep up wiith I think so you will just have 2 lol. :) Fran

lol I have a little room upstairs where I keep all my seed stuff. After I mailed out the last package last year, I just closed the door and did not go back in there to deal with the mess for weeks! Downstairs there are too many cats, and it takes only one to make a complete disaster of a seed box. This year I am going to take photos of the seed sorting and result mess! Mary, I'll update your list right now!

Here is a status update on our single mother of five: The male never returned. The nestlings were due to fledge between 6/21 and 6/23; however, on Saturday (6/19) we witnessed two babies successfully fledge in the afternoon. We could see at least one remaining in the box. Sunday morning, I watched the mother bird entice what was the one remaining baby out of the box by teasing him with a grub and calling to him. He flew out of the box and onto the ground. He was very small, compared to the other two we had seen. The mother could not get him to fly, and he was attacked on the ground by the neighboring TRES parents! All the while, the mother BB was trying to protect him. (The TRES had also attacked one of the other fledglings on the ground the day before, but he managed to get right up and fly to the trees!) My husband picked up the little fledgling and put him in the grass away from the TRES and closer to the hedgerow of trees, where the other fledglings were. Finally, the mother got him to fly to a low branch! By last night and today, the mother has been making all mealworms deliveries to the tops of the trees, so I guess the little guy has been reunited with his siblings. This mother BB is simply fantastic. What she did on her own with the fledgings was a wonder to behold! So, that is where we are now. I'm still feeding mealworms and wax worms, but Mother still has much hard work left to do all on her own.
