Huge Hibiscus Collection

Hi All DG Friends,

I haven't been online much for the last year or two, so many of you may not know me, but I used to be a regular comment and picture contributor here on the hibiscus forum.

I have a very large (220+) collection of hibiscus, from 1 year old to 6 or 7 years old. Due to declining health (I'm disabled), and rising health care costs, I'm being forced to get rid of my plants. The vast majority of my plants have come from either Hidden Valley Hibiscus, The DuPonts, and Hibiscus Place. They were cut back late fall, and have had their first round of fertilizer, wake-up spray and Super Nova. Most lost their leaves during the winter and my last move, but are recovering really nicely, with little starts of green everywhere. They all have been consistently well taken care of, receiving lots of regular fertilization and love.

Some pictures, from past years (although many don't have a picture up yet), can be found at http://www.amarantha.phanfare.com/

For you collectors, some are very uncommon, and most are already sold out at the online stores listed above. I'm willing to take offers, as I'm moving again at the end of the month, and would prefer not to move them again. All are in beautiful glazed pots, which will also be sold, either with or without the plants. I've attached a few pictures here to give you the idea, but if you are seriously interested, please dmail me for a listing of what's available. I know I could sell these for top dollar on Ebay once they leaf out later this spring, but my health is very poor and frankly, I need money to pay my health related bills. Besides, I'd really rather they go to collectors who will love them as much as I have :-)

I'll be living in Corona, CA until the end of the month, so for any of you locally, send me a Dmail, and come on over. I also have a number of plumerias, tree ferns and named daylilies that will be for sale too.

First picture is one of the large ones leafing out, to give you an idea of plant size.

Thanks :-)

This is not a great picture, but it will give you an idea of what the plants look like right now.

Here's another group.

Karen, so sorry to hear your health is not improving. You have been such an inspiration growing such beautiful hibiscus over the years in spite of your limitations. I hope your collection will go to someone who loves hibs as much as you do.
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi my name is Jake from Manassas Virginia. I am sorry for your failing health. I am very interested in obtaining hibiscus of all kinds. Would you be interested in selling any small rooted plants. I stared collecting tropical hibiscuses last year, I only have a very small collection & would like to expand on them. My dollars are smaller since I retired 5 years ago & can't shop at the nursery & pay does prices. If we can come to some kind of aggreement I would like to do this with you I know that shipping would probley not make this possible but I would like to get your input. Thanks for hearing me out. Jake

Hi Guys,

Sorry, I've been offline moving. Ardesia, thank you so much for your lovely comments, and prayers. We're moved into the new house at least, with boxes everywhere lol. My plants, however, are still in Corona, and I'll probably be moving them in the next couple weeks.

Hi Jake from Virginia, I do have some small plants, most are probably too big, but I do have some small. My desktop computer is still at my mom's house in Corona, and I won't be getting it for another week or so (where my plants and plant listing is). When I do get it over here though, I will see which ones are small and send you a list. I can ship them (but I can't pay for shipping), so that will be no problem :-)

Take care, and thanks again, Ardesia :-)

karen

Would you send me the list of smaller plants with prices. I am willing to send postage money as well. Wish I lived a little closer to Calif. so I could cash in on your bargins.

Good luck in the move!

Sure! I'll send it to you this weekend, after I get my desktop computer to my new house :-)

Thanks for your interest.

Hi Karen: I would love to receive a list of any of your smaller plants that can be mailed. I will pay for shipping and a fee for your efforts. Please get back to me. Thanks Jake

Sure Okyo, I'll send the list to you too.

For all of you waiting though, it will most likely be Monday before I send it though.

Thanks for your interest!!

Hi Karen,

Take care and we'll talk soon.
