Apparently the others on the forum are not suffering through subzero wind chills, which turns one's thoughts automatically to spring.
I have never ordered from Victoria's, but I did email last year - after they were out of stock. I wrote last month to ask what she would have available in the spring and she said:

Quoting:We will have them first week of March.
Take care.

Also other plants not on the website.

Vickie Graves is begonia9868 on ebay. I've bought cuttings and some plants from her. The cuttings are small, but she has plants you can't find anywhere. I got Vivian Hill, Jackie Brookshire, Miss Prissy,... I'll have to post pictures of my nursery tables. I don't understand it, but the rhizos take off much faster than the canes. Of course, the canes hated the non-stop downpours from August to October. And she sells actual rhizos, not leaves.

Now for my exciting news (to me, no one at work or home was the least bit interested). Michael Breneman (fuchsia galore) returned my phone call this afternoon and is going to walk me through the available canes this Saturday (literally - I'll have the list from Pedricks and he is going to add to it as he walks through the greenhouse). I can give him my list and he'll ship in the spring. He thinks he still has most of the list on the Pedrick's site, plus more. I think I may have to give up Kartuz this year. But, the convention is in San Diego in August. And I have Southwest tickets. His list on Pedricks;
