Hi Sheila, Getting our webmaster to do anything is a job in itself, but I can send you the list of vendors if you like? See you next year! Geoff

It was such a lovely day for the Deep Cut Plant swap...I had to work until 11 so didnt get there until 11:30... I took home a couple new items, enjoyed chatting with the volunteers/employees? as always... they are so nice and walked the gardens with my son. Love that koi pond. Im glad they had herbs and I took home an apple-mint. I was mad to see that a gallon container had one, just 1 wild violet plant in it. The ones that grow in your grass. there were many like this. one rose of sharon in a gallon pot... sheesh. I stuck about 15 individual rose of sharon in a quart container for anyone looking to make a hedge. Sorry, I had to vent. I feel bad for people that showed up when that was all that was left for them to choose from. I will still go next year... I just make sure I don't mind giving away what I bring and only wish to find one good item that I don't already have at home... anything more is cherry on the cake :o)

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum, but on my third year of plumerias. We went to the show last year and this year. Since we are kinda new, we aren't to picky about which one/type yet so we went on Sunday at 2:00, so there was only two hours left of the show. Let me tell you last year there was plenty to pick from, this year, there was almost nothing left! JJ was the only one who had quite a few left. So that being said a couple vendors were offering to make a deal with the couple that they had left. My husband and I each went with $50.00 to spend, of course we brought the checkbook just in case!! Right away my husband struck a pretty good deal with two of the larger plants that were outside on the patio. The seller marked them both down right away for a total of 45.00 for both, one white and yellow, one yellow and white, both with current inflows and both having an inflow about to open! So then it's my turn, we have plenty that are one to two years old, I kinda wanted one larger one and no more white and yellow. I already have three JJ's... but they do seem to be my strongest plants so why not another one, again a lot of small ones, a couple larger ones for $100, but that over my budget.. so I was going to settle for one for $40.00, I don't even remember what is was, and John saw me and said, no don't get that one, take this one, it was a Rio, with an inflow about to bloom, it was marked $55.00, but he marked it down to $40.00. Still white, but has colored edges, he showed me in the catalog. So I was happy. Then I came across the Aztec Gold, I loved the smell, but they only had a little one left, but the vendor automatically took $5.00 off for me. So for going at the last minute we are very happy with our afternoon at the sale. We left at exactly 100 with a good group of plants. The two on the left are the ones my husband got for a total of 45.00, the one in the back is a JJ Divine for my mother in law, she loves mine, the little one in the front is the Aztec Gold, and the one on the right is the JJ Rio!

OMG! Stapelia hirsuta Mitchell's PassA friend just gave me most of is Stapelia/Hurenia/Orbea collection. About 60 plants in all. Only a few duplicates and a few on death's door. ;-O
