Here's another place I've ordered from before-

This morning I went to breakfast with a friend and told her that she really needed to consider trying to grow a Plumeria. I told her how beautiful they were and how easy to grow they were and how they made great patio plants that could be brought inside for the winter (shhh... I didn't exactly tell her they grew into trees and that she'd need a 25 gallon pot sooner or later). I also told her how beautiful the blooms were and that some were even fragrant and that a Plumeria would be great for her (How am I doing recruiting Plumeria addicts Clare?). She agreed to try one. I told her I had really good news for her and that I just happened to have a really nice spare that I could give her as a gift (Shhh... let's not tell her she got a left-over that was free). We went shopping and she picked out a really nice pot for her new baby. We went back to my house and I showed her the trays of seedlings that I just happen to have sitting on my sidewalk and told her to pick one, pick any one her little heart desired. She decided to try one labeled JL Trumpet. I was really sneaky and waited until after she had potted up her new prized Plumeria and put it in the back seat of her car to tell her there were strings attached to her "gift" and that she had to go to a workshop with me.

Here's Garden4Birds (my new workshop assistant- tee he) with her prized "free" Plumeria-
