I thought that would be nice for Mark's tropical Garden. Since he's been giving me money hand over fist lately I thought it'd be nice if I actually ordered something for him!! LOL. You get whatever one you want to get tho!

Laurie,
Well, if your shipping was $50 they certainly did lose money! I'll have to check my lable out really good when it arrives. Right now my e-mail isn't working, so they may have mailed me and I wouldn't even know it!

I looked around their site too much tho, I really did. I think I looked at nearly every page except for the Cactus page. I can't have Cactus. Too ouchy for kitties and too cold outside. Their prices are great, they just need more pics...but you can look up the pics on PlantFiles. I just told someone else that on Frugal Living...they wanted to know an inexpensive place for great plants...sent them there.

I want some of their Lantana. It's hard to find here until mid-summer, it's sold as an annual. I saw someone here on DG trained one in a pot as a standard last year and I really want to try that, but I'd need my plant early...and a good strong, straight main stem. I have a few Lantana seeds that I didn't get started, and I have to send an SASE for more. That's probably what I'll end up doing. But, their's are gorgeous...and mexican petunias. Oh, I could go on all day! If I remember correctly the Lantana was only $3.95!

I know I'll order from them again and again. Once that Brome starts to grow I'll be hooked! LOL This is the pic of the one I'm getting. It looks like 'IT's having a bad hair day. His name is really 'IT'. That cracks me up!
