sorry but may I ask how many from the list does it take to call bingo , do you have to have 5 or more or how does it work , I will not be home later today but will look for your response tonight or tomorrow , don't have the ones so far , thank you all for your help :)
Connie :)
You have to get your 25 you sent in to call bingo.................we spend the whole month playing this (smiling).............
ohhhhhhhhhhhhh ok Gail I gotcha now , good ,thank you for the knowledge :)
Hugs
Connie
Got 1 too!
A strong start here... none!
Please don't feel by youself......zip here too.
In celebration of my being fully functional (with the exception of FC2) with a computer again, here is the first bonus Bingo call:
19 AV: Rob's Fe Fi
(Gail, would you mind doing the honors? Thx!)
I guess so even though I don't have it (LOL)
Rob's Fe Fi (8173) 06/05/1995 (R. Robinson) Single chimera white star/pink and blue fantasy stripe. Medium green, pointed. Miniature
She is a cutie!
***edited to say that I am not sure why that says it is an unauthorized picture from First class. We print them for every single pot when we have a club sale or show......and it doesn't say 'unauthorized'. Maybe that is because we are using First class software to make the labels.

Got another one!!!! yay!!! She sure is a cutie.
Today's Bingo calls:
10 AV: Mac's Tantalizing Temptation
14 AV: Midget Silver Fox
One today and One yesterday, I'm in the game!!! Laura H
Me too!!! 2 down, 23 to go!
OK>>>>>>let's see if I can find pictures. (only had one today)
Mac's Tantalizing Temptation
http://www.bluebirdgreenhouse.com/html/fimages/img_8185.jpg
I couldn't find her anywhere even on First Class........maybe she is new.......but Bluebird has her......
Midget Silver Fox (E. Champion) Double dark blue. Mosaic variegated dark green and silver. Miniature
OH MY GOSH>>>>>I HAVE TO HAVE THIS ONE!!
B I N G O!!!!! LOL Just kidding....I love this game! Such pretty pictures too!!
I wondered when we were going to hear from you???? (LOL)
Now you see, Gail, why it was on someones Want list!
I have looked everywhere for her.........finally found the name but it was sold out............
Yes, this is a good idea that you took people's wish lists as these are some awesome looking plants.
There is someone on ebay has it listed . . . iceburg, I think.
Good morning (a late one, that is) to all!
Beautiful calls, beautiful photos! Thank you, my ladies! When I finally decided to come play, I went and searched each of the plants listed in this game - a good way to find other beauties to crave for. Hard to pick, but hey, you gotta give just 25, so I developed a method! There were a few that I didn't find an image of, but I'm trusting Gail will come to rescue!
However, you should tell me if there's a bingo term to call when one (no names here...) has no hits! If not, I can invent one? Bummer, Bunger, Bongo? Boongo?
nichole, Iceberg says on her site that she is out of it!!! I am going to look on ebay.................not for the one avPat is looking for............
Someone has already started bidding and it is probably someone on here. I wrote Iceberg a note asking when she would have leaves again on her site.
All I know is that I googled Midget Silver Fox, and the ebay listing was towards the top of results . . .
I did that , too and found it. But I feel like someone on our av forum is bidding and I don't like to bid against friends.......I will find her again.
Just to let you know Violetgallery has leaves of Midget Silver Fox and if you write to them they may have some plants , but at least they list having the leaves , hope this helps :)

Connie
I love the way you all jump in to help each other find plants or leaves. I've only been here for about 10 days, but I am so impressed with all of you. This is a great group of people. So glad I found you!!!
Pat
Connie, I love you!!!
Now, I have to start another want list of leaves on Violetgallery....smiling
I agree with you Pat , everyone is soooooooooooooooo nice to each other , they help in any way they can , I welcome you to this dear group of people :)
Hugs,
Connie :)
I love you too Gail , but then I think you already knew that , you are too dear not to love and appreciate :)
Connie :)
Just for the record, I have been on here for over 2 years and it has always been this way.........everyone seems to wish everyone else good luck in growing with no competition whatsoever. That is why I love to hang out on the av forum.
We are loving having so many new people........plus we always get a lot oldies back during the winter time when they are snowed in........can't wait for you to meet them.

Thank you, Connie. Everyone I've come in contact with has made me feel welcome. I wouldn't have taken part in the Bingo otherwise. I don't think there is any such thing as an outsider in this group.
Pat
Hi Gail,
I can't imagine it being even better than it is now. But I'll take your word for it.
Pat
I have not been around too too long, I would still be bloomless if it wasn't for these people!! I was desperate!!LOL They helped me to figure out I was over watering and had my plants in too large of pots. These are the best group of people, all DOLLS!! My plants are nothing compared to theirs and they have always jumped in to help with a ton of stupid questions that I ask!!
