Is anyone interested in an EE/Ginger co-op

Dee and I found a site that has plugs(small plants, just starting out) of 72 to a tray, one kind per tray. They have a nice selection of colocasias, alocasias and gingers. I've got their EE available list, waiting on the ginger one. This is a wholesale only company, so the plants will come in one big box(or 2) to me and I'll have to send them out. Oh, they have bananas too.

yes

Count me in!

Me too!!

YES, Yes, yes!!!! I'm goin' be broke, but having a wonderful time getting there :~)

cala get me a copy of the list or post one so we know what they carry.......(((HUG)) thanks! :-)

I'm very interested, but I would like to know their offerings before saying for sure.

Suzie, Count in me and Marie. Thanks

cala my sis is going to email you her name is rindy-shes a member here too!

OK, I just got her email. I sent her the list and some info.

I know that Colocasia "Nancyana" is available. What about Colocasia "Nancy's Revenge"? Is it to new on the market yet?

I would be interested in 2-5 of each of the following:

C. fontenesii
C. e. nancyana

I might be interested in illustris if it is possible to see the variety/color pattern they have.

A. villeneuvii
A. x amazonica
A. frydek
A. longiloba
A. “Hilo Beauty”
A. wentii

I’m not familiar with A. caladora, and Google says that no one on the worldwide web is either. Is there any more information available on it? Can anyone locate a useful link?

Since these will be micro-pups, can you tell us if they provide any guarantee ... at least re. arrival in good condition?

Rik - it must be A.calidora http://www.aroid.org/gallery/kozminski/Alocasia/x_calidora.html

Oh I want in. Please!Please! Please!

They guarantee them to be in good condition upon arrival. I've bought from them before, hostas mostly and they were in great shape when they arrived.

Susie, you already know I am in, but just thought I should put my name out here too.

Dee, I was hoping you still wanted in.

Me too!

What a great idea, this will be fun. I hope enough are interested to get several varieties. I'm casting a vote for the big and ununsual ones.

Hi Marieee, me too!

I HAVE to get in on this one!!!!!!!
These are my favorites!

My DH reminded me that my little greenhouse will already be stuffed with brugs, etc soon. I know he is right, but I think these would make wonderful Christmas gifts!! Also, as I posted sometime back that I supply our church with small plants at the door for new visitors. I think these would be greatly appreiated.

I think we should pay for ms cala's plants, since she is obviously gonna be so busy with this. i know what you're saying cala, but fair is fair, maybe an extra buck or per person's order would help pay for some of yours.

Sounds like a plan to me!!
