Seems I'm the only one who did not order from Michigan Bulb!

No, I never did either...I get enough of the other catalogs to last a lifetime!

I did a few times years ago before I knew any better, any mistakes they do take of without any question( but after twice not getting it right, didn't order anymore from them) what irks me about their catalog is there is no Latin name

I've escaped the Michigan bulb co. as well. Some of the other co. s have gone downhill, but that one seems never to have been uphill.

LOL

I, too, have avoided them. Didn't know they were so bad.

Karen

Ha ha - never went uphill. Or started so low there was no down?

I think it was they were probably starting low and never went up.

Karen

Right.

think that is how I ended up with so many noid iris ... they had names when they came from MB... and were not the right ones

Sounds like my DL story.....

and it was like christmas again... my order from new garden plants came today.. what great shipping!!!!.. and a nice big box from Celeste came too!!.. AWESOME SHIPPING!!!... Randy was very proud!!!!

^_^

cordiallis from Celeste... (SP?)

a boat load of calibrachoa too.. forgot to take shots of the agastache... they were upstairs

from my order... get ready to ooohhhh & aaaahhh petunia phantom

ok I already ripped out the right side of the box.. but wanted to show you guys the great packing on these.. the plants were in either those cloth sleeves .. or paper bags... all hot glued to the bottom & sides of the box... they were not going anywhere

can't beat it

Oooohhhh, yes, gorgeous petunia! And nice packing!

Karen

The petunia got an oooohhhh form me too. Very Striking!

Love the petunia!!! Great packing too...im taking notes :)

Noticed the calibrochea in bloom is yellow? Yippee!

received my jm order from topiary today - FANTASTIC TREES!!

Yay for Bill!

Nice! Hope you'll be posting pics.

Karen

:)

allison looks like you were a happy camper today too!!

ooooo, ahhhhhh

LOL Jen... Celeste I spotted a purpleish looking one too.. first thing I thought Celeste.. gee I have several glue guns.. and I am going to hold on to the cloth sleeves

they sent a cat mint as the freebee.. anyone grow those?... too crazy in the ground?

I love cat mint. They can get large, though. I have the Walker's Low. After the first flush of blooms I cut it back and it makes more for another show. Probably has a good 20" spread.

Karen

I had gotten a cat mint too as a freebie from Bluestone, pretty well behaved so far, in full sun

If you're wondering if it's invasive, then no. It stays in a clump. Nothing like the spearmint and peppermint.

Karen

Not a fan of it, unless it's low. It tends to flop.

I have nepeta too. I like everything about it except the smell. Makes a beautiful back drop for pink tulips.

You know what I think smells worse? Certain salvias, like 'May Night'. I call it the cat pee plant.

Karen

So after many weeks of looking, I finally took the plunge and bought 2 JM. Thanks Bill!
