Spending spree #10

there was a news show about late night drunk on line ordering...guess it really is a problem(or not.... depending on what you're buying)

Probably a congressman or Senator spending our $$.

:D)

taxes!

moved $ from a traditional IRA to a Roth so we pay the taxes now and OMG OUCH!

very few plants for me this year :( all I have to say is I better appreciate this when I retire and not paying the taxes then!!! :D

Oh you'll still be paying! ^_^

Picea glauca 'Pixie Dust'

Acer palmatum 'Sango kaku'

Acer palmatum 'Ukon'

Acer shirasawanum 'Red Dawn'

cowslip....not sure how that got in there

nice, Celeste

Cryptomeria japonica 'Black Dragon'

Picea orientalis 'Skylands'

Vaccinium corymbosum 'Aurora'


BTW, these were all from BLOOM RIVER

Thanks Jen!

Nice! Told you they were good. :)

Yes, Brian & I are very pleased with our purchase, thanks!! ^_^

Anytime!

Received my Holland Bulb order today.

WOW!!! Celeste, love those choices!!!!!

I went to go check them out and had a dyslexic moment wondering why there were no listings for River Blooms

Maybe Jo has a thread for river blooms? River buds? April river bloom buds?

nice celeste - i would plant sango kaku in a container and bring it in for the winter - very tender jm

picked up a black dragon myself last week at a local nursery. And the shipping confirmations are starting, have some stuff from HCG and Avant Gardens showing up this week - last week a large order from Breck's was potted up.

I'm drooling over that sango kaku!

Oh, big time plant envy here! Do you think they say people have "green eyes" because they're jealous of the plants? I especially want Don Eglof Eastern Redbud, and all the conifers too! JMs maybe next year.

Thanks everyone, and thanks Bill for the tip. It said z5 but I wondered if it would be.

I see lots of plants in my future


My American Meadows order shipped today and my Bluestone order is also shipping this week

The only plants I am buying now are groundcovers.....

all that groundcover talk on the other thread really got to you, huh???? hee hee

Yep!

Received my American Meadows order...their stuff is smaller than Bluestone's but looks really healthy

Wow - smaller than Bluestone! Microscopic.

received my HCG order yesterday - plants where bigger than i thought they would be

Received my Rio hydrangea & North Hill primulas from WFF...will plant when I know the rain is coming.....

sure rub it in Bill

if you want cheap.. you get cheap

:)

yep ya get what you paid for but I was so SUPER happy with their Tulips bulbs

in fact...I placed my fall bulb order with them already 50% off pricing...whoo hoo

me too

I always read Lazy S'S differently too

Received a second FW order. Hydrangea sargentiana and three JMs - Tsuma gaki, Dr. Brown and Ruslyn in the Pink.

Speaking of spending. I have wanted to replace this walk with something more whimsical.I talked to a landscaper yeaterday about a casual garden path using some of the stone thats there and recycled materials like old brick etc.
Depending on the estimate I will have them do the job.

Celeste, nice plants, but be careful with the cryptomeria japonica. I had the Spiralis variety in a pot for many years, finally decided to put it in the ground last year, protected it, but still lost half of the needles, makes me sick to look at it. I suspect it is very borderline for zone 5.

UHG! Thanks for the tip, that makes 2 plants to stay in pots!

Went to Lowe's and came home with just mulch...no plants...

I bought some salvia plants that will be in pots as well.. had to try em

Also received my first order from Hydrangeas Plus. Nice looking, bushy plants!
