You pay me and let me play with your animals and I'm there!!! :) lol
Hibiscus cultivars to die for...
OH MY, other people live my life too......
there is no way I can handle a co-op,I tried last year with a SMALL one and still managed to screw up......
You can't work 60 hours a week,run a farm,be a housewife,and still find time to run a co-op.....
besides ,I am sooooooooo disorganized......
Moretz said she would do it, didn't she? If we could get enough people involved and several colors, I'd order at least two of each, but maybe more.
Those are soooooooo gorgeous.....you lucky, lucky people!!!!
And I shouldn't have even taken a peek at this thread! :(
they had some of them at the House and garden show but they were 20 bucks each.....
That is a litle much! I would pay $5. to $10. for some really, really nice ones that I don't have.
Country Music was $1.25 ea. from Susie and think I bought about 8-10. Used them for trades, it blooms very easily and is a really pretty one.
i do not have a clue about running a co-op. i wouldnt even know where to begin ,dont you have to have a wholesale # to get those prices? i dont have anursery to get those great prices.
Brugie thanks but no thanks was you going to help?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
moretz
"i would love to do the co-op ,that is if we do the liners i would be glad to order alot for 2.00 each plmk if you all decide to do the co-op "
I guess I misread your post Moretz. I sure wish someone would do this one, but I just don't have time right now. I have a greenhouse full of plants and it is bursting at the seams the way it is. LOL! I'm sure everyone is pretty busy at this time of the year.
i just googled "Schizopetalus"
but all i find are pics of solid red ones
:/
hrmmm....
i wonder!
lol
Every year you all do this to me--and I have to repeat--I can not start collecting another type of plant- over and over. I love those and Hot Ticket is something. I must confess I sneaked a few hibiscus in the greenhouse this winter. Have the Schizopetalus which I always love to see bloom. Kyle great photos.
Barb did your Country Music I sent you, ever bloom?
Kyle great pics--but I know you did it just to see us all in a frenzy. LOL Barbara repeat after me "no more plants!" Better yet why don't you use it as your screen saver!
Brugie did you say your in charge of a co-op? LOL
Oh my!! I would be very much interested in a coop for Hibiscus and the Coleus....and guess what??? I just went through their whole site and I would very much be interested in more! LOL I wish I had the time to do a coop! But right now I can't even keep my head above water with two businesses! And somehow, I'm going to have to convince DH that I will HAVE TO HAVE TIME OFF FOR GARDENING!!! I'm trying to think of how I should bring this up! LOL
ROFLMBO!!! Shirley, I just couldn't resist this one! Did you click on the home page and scroll down??? You should, I think they are calling your name to do the coop! LOL In big bold black letters it reads....
Need 500 Cajun Color plants shipped to Iowa?
Luv ya!!!
Brin :)
Brinda, if my greenhouse had room in it, I wouldn't hesitate, but it is overflowing and hibiscus need to stay warm. Iowa wouldn't be the best place to start them from. Darn it anyway!!
I know Shirley....I just couldn't resist! I thought it was funny and I laughed so hard when I read that!
Oh pleeeeease could someone down there do a co-op???????
Yvonne
Oh My..look what I have started....LOL LOL LOL..need more pics?????? :-)
Do you think that more pictures will get us past this intense desire to have every single one we see? If so, bring them on, I'm ready to drool some more. LOL!
I'll second that Shirley, I love to look at Eclipse's pics. They're so exotic.
Thanks guys, in the last day or two I have bought 4 ... but I am all for more photos.
Well where is he? I'm waiting for those pictures. How about that one that is pumpkin color. I loved that one.
Here is Pink Wings. It wasn't a big tropical, but it sure was a good bloomer and pretty.
Sahara Wind, from Kyle. I killed it. I lost almost every one of mine over the winter last year.
Here we go again...this is "Molly Cummings" from Logees..huge flowers of the richest red in a hibiscus.Pic doesn't do it justice.
This is "Rowennas Wedding"...a small but unique bloomer.
This is "Lagos" unfortunately it froze in storage last fall.... :-(
This is Sahara wind in summer..changes colors with the heat.
Sahara Wind is beautiful. So was Lagos - sorry you lost it. Can't wait to get mine ... so excited. Do you think I will get blooms this year .. they are in 4" pots right now.
Keep them coming Kyle, please, please, please.
Kyle your killin' me! Now I have to search the web. ughhhh!
"Jane Cowl" hibiscus. This one survived outside all winter and was totally neglected. A keeper!
Eclipse,
Where did you get "Rowennas Wedding"?
They are all so pretty. I still have a couple of hibiscus, maybe three, so bring on the heat!!
I'm with flowerjunkie...I love that one!!!!
I knew I shouldn't have came back and looked again. I love them all.
Rowennas wedding came from a nursery in calif that closed many years back..I saw it in bloom and had to have it! So here it is! I will try to root some cuttings this year and spread it around. Meanwhile look at this one... Fiji Island
These were from a hot day last summer........
Oh, thats a pretty one. Sahara Wind is still my favorite.
I've been following this link to see if it will result in a co-op and nothing as of yet. This is what I found from one supplier..
Pricing- Liners-$3.50....Qts-$10.00....Gallons-$15.00....2Gal-20.00....3Gal-$24.00....
....Specially ordered grafts are $10.00 ea.
There is a $30.00 min to ship plants -Liners are as available with a
minimum order of 30 and are guaranteed only to arrive safely-Please note that growing liners is not for the beginning collector
What exactly is a liner? Do any of you have experience with "liners" and why is it much more difficult? Thanks.
Sorry Bugfreak, I have no clue.
Every year I buy a few of the fancy hibiscus and every winter I kill them! I really think you need a GH to keep these happy during the winter. This year, they lasted till just last month. Almost made it!
