I was just at NativeHabitat's site (who I'm very upset with right now for cancelling my order) and read there that Insignis Gold is from Kyle Courtney??? Kyle, this is yours too???
insignis gold
The catalog doesn't say that. Just Kyle's Giant White from the Insignis group has his name behind it.
Jen, if you still have Kyle's Giant White, could you start one for me sometime. Thanks!!
the website says it, so that's why I was wondering. also said it's rare. :)
Wow!! If it is rare, I finally have one. Don't you wish these web sites would have what they say, sell what they have, and do what they say? It can be a real pain in the you know what sometimes trying to get what you think you are getting. Like the Fantasma that ended up being just another shredded white.

I just wish they'd send what you order! I was really disappointed in NH. I ordered in January, got email in Feb. that it would be 2-3 weeks. I asked last week about my order and they cancelled it on me. Guess I complained too much.
I've heard of others having problems getting their orders too. What is going on with these companies? I'm still waiting for my Sept. order from LBJ, only because I really want some of the brugs I ordered. I can find no excuse for not sending the order or at least contacting us when it can't be shipped. They just don't practice good business management procedures. It will probably not hurt their business either since they are probably two of the best as far as getting the more rare types of brugs quicker. Logees has been one of the best for availability and plant condition and Kartus sent me a nice plant too, just wasn't what I had hoped.
I've gotten several emails from people that said LBJ and NH both cancelled their orders.

Cala,
Have you ever thought about going into the selling of Brugs on line?
Cala, I think Glory has a good idea here. I'll be glad to help you out if I have anything that you don't have. You might as well make a buck to help heat the greenhouse.
S.
I'd be happy to buy from you.
Tig,
I might have the gold you are looking for. Will have to check greenhouse.

Is this the regular insignis gold? I have that. unless what they have on their site is something totally different.

Cala, it be worth a try. You dont need to be afraid of lacking customers.
CALA!!! I think we should co-op, send treasured cuttings to you for your fancy propagation techniques, and then get back others we don't have.
sounds like a winner arlene!
tiG, you gave me an Insignis Gold, do you need it back or I can take a piece for myself and send it back.
Cala, I agree with the others. Your are such a pro and I think you would be very successful at this. Take time and give it some consideration. I would also help you any way that I can.
no I have it, just wondered if it's Kyles cross. That's what the website says, and I'm wondering if it's a different cross or not. hoping he will see this.
Yes I sent them the insignis gold...and No I don't remember where in Calif I got it..I collected it at a closed nursery in Encinitas.(Stallings Nursery) NHE said they got it from me up until the most recent catalog.It isn't one of my hybrids ..but is different then Solid Gold.Fragrance is different....might have been a seedling that Stallings grew on..then abandoned when the nursery closed.
:-)
thanks Kyle, that answers my question. Thanks to Eric, I have this in my collection, just hated to think there was one more out there I didn't have:) and I did want to know whether or not it was your work.
Well make my day to. I have it from Eric through tiG. This is the one that I had leaves on almost all of winter. The last cold spell I had put it out and it lost it leaves and I can't get it to put back out. The stalk is still hardy and I hope so much that it comes back. Especially now. I think Arlene posted for me to give it some root booster and I have tried everything.
I love to root cuttings and especially love a challenge. I also love to share, though sometimes I get behind. I've thought about selling tropical plants on line, just haven't "jumped in" yet. DH has been after me to do that too. I bought a yellow mandevilla that I'm going to try and propigate.
Jump girl!! you know we'd help however we can, especially when it comes to buying!

Cala,
I feel sure you can do this...the most important thing is to be honest with your customers and I know you will do that. Offer your customers a good product and deliver on time.
Seems like all the big(I use the term loosely) growers can't fill their orders...watsup with that??If they can't supply the plants, have customers email or call for availability first then send payment. I think we all have had problems with these growers.They need to remember customers tell others...and they tell others...and on and on...soon business drys up.A reputation is more valuable then Gold.Once you looose the publics trust..you might as well give it up. Fool me once..shame on you..fool me twice...NO WAY TURKEY!!! LOL
nuff said. **(Through venting))**
could the reason be virus?Maybe they were told not to ship any more by the inspectors?
Forgot to mention, I got my final inspection on my brugs, no virus found!! Hopefully I'm thru with APHIS for a while.
