quinnfyre, My daughter was WONDERFUL at the show...she was well mannered and everyone commented. She made conversation with the vendors and they loved her. The guy from Ceder Creek violets actually gave her a plant named Mikinda Girl because she is such a good helper. She tried to explain to him in detail how she pots plants (which she does) and waters each one. She was quite frustrated that he didn't have his in baby food jars with water like ours are and she tried to scold him...we all got a good chuckle out of that. As far as what she wanted to choose - I must say that she's got the exquisite taste of her mom....we were walking around and she was looking at everything and she waslked up to Lyon's Table and picked out the one with the $30 sticker on it. It is purple on the edge with the green stripe down the middle (can't remember name) and when I tried to tell her that she didn't have that much $, she walked off to another table and then chose for herself - with her own $$$ the Mac's Infra Red. She kept her hands to herself - which I wasn't sure what to expect and really had to watch her but she wanted to know all the names and then when Cedar Creek picked up an Allegro Cupid Pink - she announced, "We'll take that one. Allegro is music and my daddy is a musician." My two favorite from both days that I got for myself are Frozen In Time and Reflections of Spring. MMMMmmmm! beauty! I got another 4 packs of leaves that I'll share with others. They include: Powder Keg Hawaiian Pearl Bud's Melanie Island Hideaway Anyone interested in some of these? Dora

Not that I could attend anyway, but $560.00 sure seems like a lot of money! I guess it would be fun for rich people.

Southernmum, I can't give you any Builders. But I would suggest going to the courthouse and getting copies of the pool permits pulled last year and give some of the homeownwers a call. I sure they would share there thoughts either way...By the way I'm a vinyl builder in Knoxville So If I can help along the way give me a shout...Below is a link that may help....
