So what were your best finds at the sale? I went with $200...buying and splitting with a GW daff loving cyber friend. Below is a list of the named ones I got. 1 BLB....$5....Ace of Diamonds 9w-r 2 PK.....$7....Chaste........................1w-w 2 BLB....$9....Excitement.....................3w-yyo 2 PK.....$3....Jonquilla.....................no info other than that is the name 3 PK.....$1....Keats.........................4w-y 1 PK.....$1....Merry Bells...................5w-y 1 BLB....$3....New Penny.....................3y-y 2 PK.....$1....Oregon Bells..................7w-w 1 BLB....$5....Owyhee........................2y-p 1 PK.....$1....Pentucket....................9w-gyr 1 BLB....$2....PollyÂs Pearl.................8w-w 2 PK.....$3....Rapture......................6y-y 2 PK.....$1....Sunny Miss...................7y-o 2 PK.....$1....Swift Arrow..................6y-y 2 PK.....$1....Thackery.....................9w-gyr 1 PK.....$3....Twin Sisters.................no info 1 PK.....$5....Boslovick......................11A Y-O $80 so far, and as you can see, they are not really common ones, or at least not to me. The rest of the budget went to packs of NO ID ones for various prices, and various quantities per pack...most 3-7 bulbs. The club had gotten together earlier in the season before digging at a member's house, and had tried to positively identify these NO-ID ones. They weren't positive on the names, so they chose to sell them as NO ID ones, rather than give them an incorrect name. I'm kind of guessing that they likely are not the more common ones, or they would have been in agreement on what they were. I got NOID ones from divisions 1 through 7 and 1 in div 13, with the petal and cup colors listed. I've never met a daff I did not immediately love except Rip Van Winkle and Von Sion...both look like they are having bad hair days. Several members there agreed with me on that one...lol I was at the daff sale alone for over 2 hours, with a member helping me all the while. I think I was their best customer of the day, and they gave me a complimentary Society Membership. Whoo-Hoo! I stopped by the iris sale then for a bit. Their TB were all $3, and the smaller varieties were $2. Not really being familiar with any varieties I was looking for, I passed except for buying just one...besides having already spent my budget. There were georgeous daylily pics posted above the fans for sale. I just looked a bit, and it looked like they mostly ranged from $5 to $10...rough estimate. I was not looking for anything in particular, and was on such a daff high, I didn't buy any. The hostas I did not take in at all. They were potted, and I noticed there were not many left at 11 when I left. It was a wonderful morning, and I was glad I had gone alone. No one other than a daff lover would have been content to wait patiently on me to finish my shopping trying to get as many varieties as possible. Sue

I had posted about the sale on another forum and afterwards was asked, "So what were your best finds at the sale? I have copied and pasted my reply from there as I thought others might be interested in a heads up on it and might be interested in attending nest year. It was a great day. I had soooo much fun I went with $200...buying and splitting with a GW daff loving cyber friend.

Melinda, so sorry to hear about your poor health but I sure hope you are on the mend soon. I am encouraged to see that you feel ok enough to post on GW!! Thoughts of good health are headed your way! Margo, so sorry to hear about your friend Mona being diagnosed with cancer. I hope everything turns out for the best. It's amazing how much things like this impact us all. I'm trying to narrow down choices for the yard sale. It's hard!! Shirley, As requested: my pet robin. As of this week, baby robin has finally become independent. Yesterday was the first day s/he didn't answer me when I called, which means the robin raising was a success!

Woo HOO! I wasn't going to have my name in this lotto but now that I see the blocks I'm glad I forgot to tell you! I'll do something fun with them. Thanks to all who made blocks! Kate
