Yep, gardeners are nice folks, Lauren! Nice haul! YOu've got it bad now! :P Here we go: 1. Ledebouria socialis, Silver Squill 2. Aloe 'Pink Blush' (most likely-on the market now) 3. Haworthia retusa (maybe var. retusa, as well) 4. Sempervivum sp. 5. Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi 6. Sedum nussbaumerianum 7. you got it, Euphorbia milii ~Rosemarie

Barry, So glad to hear from you. That is so cool that you met Damian Maynard and that you extended your hospitialty to him. I bet he does have a lot of interesting stories. Sorry your brugs weren't more productive but don't let that keep you away from here. Dang, if that was the case I would never be on here. I waited all summer for blooms and finally had 2 this past week and that's it for the rest of the season. But look at all of the splendid looking tropicals you have. I love tropicals, hence my name. They look like happy campers. And behind the nanner and EE looks like some tall healthy brugs to me. Hey, OT pics are just as good as brug pics in my book. Hope you drop in more often because we really did miss ya. Deb

Well, I've been away so long that I'm sure nobody misses me any more, but I'm trying to come back! Had a little confusion getting registered but that seemed resolved, so I posted to say I'm back. Now I can't find that, so who knows! I used to post as Ann in NC but fled to the wilderness when KT went "pay to play". Lately, though, I've been lurking. Will a couple of y'all shift over a little and let me back in?

Update-I found a place that has a shipment of it on a BOAT right now, so it should be here in the next 4-6 weeks. Because they don't charge by the slab, they only charge by square footage used, I figured it was worth a shot to get a quote. THey came in at less that 1K over my budget. I said "If I pay cash, can I get a discount?" She said they could probably do 5% off which brings me to only $600 above my budget. So PLEASE send grantie god prayers to that boat that the stone they have is the lighter type and not the darker one I keep seeing! And that I can convince my husband that an extra $600 to keep me happy is only paying $5/month for the next 10 years. I'll gladly fork over $5/mo if it is as beautiful as the slabs I have above are. annakatherine-I KNOW that Bedrosians will transfer stock. In fact, the ones I saw were on a transfer order set to go to Salt Lake and they did something in the computer to keep them. The #s of these slabs were 0173032-0173036 If I cannot have those exact slabs, another GWer should have them!
