Nadine and ken you are lucky, Wish I lived close to her business. Have purchased on line. Nice to deal with.
Aren't her plants awsome!!..not little bitty things either...
Nadine, I now know who is on my " going to have to trade with list". wonderful ginger collection you are gathering. Gingers are my first passion, followed by brugs, and alocasia, colocasia and xanthosomas. But ginger are always my first love. It is hard to find many things more beautiful than a white butterfly ginger and on top of that,it has the most divine fragrance that just hanggggggggggggs in the humid Mississippi night air.
Barbara, Nadine is kinda on your trading list already. When I finally get around to seeing to our trade, Nadine will be filling in the blanks. She and I really do not trade, she just gives me anything I ask for and she can surely have anything I have. Our friendship has gone way beyond just someone we have met at a plant swap. There is no restrictions on FL sending to MS, so you could act as our half way house. If you trade with people in FL, then in a year or so you would have offspring to trade with Texas. What goes around comes around.
LOL..sheeze don't I feel so special..hahahaha..I have gingers that are rare in these parts..Ken..99% of my gingers that we seperated the first time around are growing new sprouts..some are still not up but will be soon I hope..2 nd round is looking good too...tomorrow I am suppose to get some rain for the next few days too...
We have rain in the forecast every day for the next two weeks. I will take that in July anytime.
Me too!!!
