Looks great Kay!

That's a great looking order. I will have to check them out.

Nancy

Thanks, y'all. Nancy, they have pretty good prices too.

How did your cats kill Stealth Bomber? I assume spraying on it. I thought you had a pretty big clump of it. What other plants did you get? I've never heard of Windyhill, but I'll keep it in mind after your recommendation.

Debra

Those look great. What other ones did you get? Stealth Bomber got nipped by the deer here so I'm hoping it will recover. Where is Windyhill?

No Debra, they didn't spray it. the proceeded to play Z"chase me, I'll case you" all around it digging in and this happened repeatedly. The two were littermates and did a lot of play fighting there for some reason, but many plants were a part of their playground. When I found SG, they had mostly dug it up after tearing round in it. They dig holes in the mulch, frequently, thinking it is a fine litter box, but it rarely seems to cause any problem. One of the plants, Bird Talk, was somewhat torn up yesterday by cats attempting to breed Socks. I had tried to catch her that morning, and we will continue until we are successful and have her neutered.

And after all that Kay, we still love them. Hope you have success with Socks. Are all the kittens gone now? Didn't you keep one?................BTW: Here's the link to Windy Hills. They are in North Carolina. I called them early this year to see about the rust situation. I noted that they said they might have some occasionally (in fall only?). Honest folks, which I always appreciate..............Maryl

Windy Hills

Maryl, the boys are gone; Panther to our next-door neighbor's teenager who was so excited she actually got him a day early and Walt (white) to the grands; My DIL: tells me he is rotten; one or the other of the kids holds him all the time. We kept both girls. I was going to keep the little grey one, Lily-bet, and my spouse fell in love with the tortoiseshell, so she became Tilly and they are so much fun together. He has always been a cat lover, so it isn't surprising that he really wanted her,.

I had gotten some plants from Wndyhill last year and they did really well, so I to them again; They are excellent communicators wich I always appreciate.

Kay: I really got a personality vibe off the panther in your pictures. Tell your ndn's teenager to give him a kiss from me. So glad everyone found a good home (including in your home - which - let's face it - is the best place for the two spunky siblings.)...................Maryl

Maryl, They are truly spunky little stinkers who manage to get into just about everything...but they will settle down in your lap for a nap, although play is the object of their existence.

Panther is full of personality and we do miss him. All of them trained to their litter box while they were tiny and that is a convenience. I think Panther is being well and truly spoiled. I had called him Panther from the first and when I told his new Mama she could, of course, change his name, she said "oh no, I think it is cute"...it suits him as he loved to climb and explore. Olan has a hanging night light and Panther would climb onto it and swing.

My neighbor's cat that lives with us is a tortie, a more loving cat I have never seen. Funny thing, a friend & I went to the humane shelter once. She loves calicos and torties. A woman at the shelter talked her out of getting one of 2 torties they had, telling her that tortoiseshells have difficult temperaments. I have had a few over the years, and all of mine were loving, pretty laid back cats.

Maryl, Tillie is much more loving than Lily, the little roughneck! Here the girls are with the boys, shortly before they left. Your cat, Pepper, is a pretty one..Her eyes look really pretty.

Maryl, Pepper is stunning! She looks WONDERFUL for a senior kitty. She is obviously well-loved and deservedly so. Love that photo of the kittens, Kay!

I'm currently checking out Windyhill's website....thanks (I think!).

Out of curiousity, what else did you get besides Stealth Bomber?

Silly Wabbit, Star Over Oz, and four bonuses that I have soaking (and they have done fabulously well). we have had quite a few instances of serious weather, but we now (after today) have several dry days..

kay

Thanks for the tip about Windyhill.....I just placed an order!

Good. I hope you are as happy as I was.

kay

I ordered a couple of plants from them last year, I was happy with what they sent.

Beautiful plants! I meant to place an order with them, but put it off with all that is going on this year.

I've already received my plants from Windyhill and they are beautiful! I absolutely recommend them. I ordered two and got two bonuses. The bonus plants were just as large and healthy as the ones I ordered (and more valuable). Raymond was great to communicate with too. Everything I order now is to further my hybridizing goals and I am downsizing my collection to make room for newer plants. But I still don't have room for the new plants I ordered because I started way, way too many seedlings over the winter! I compulsively order and then frantically try to find a spot somewhere. I will have to do more downsizing it seems:)

I am glad you are as pleased with your order I was with mine. It was a lot like a Bill Maryott order, wasn't it, and the plants are so healthy. Nice large plants too, none of the little wimpy tiny fans,
