Kong in Hawaii

Keaau, HI(Zone 11)

After frantically trying to get some Kong Coleus sent to me, Diva was great and packaged them up and sent them on... I was so happy, thinking that at the Master Gardener Plant sale we would Ace everyone.

NOT! If only I had visited WalMart more often! They have HUGE plants of Kong (yes, all varieties) in a 4" pot...$2.50 each.

Just pays to check EVERYthing out! They were grown by a nurserman friend of mine, as well.

Darn.

They still are beautiful and I love mine even more!!!

Thanks, Diva. Did you get your box?

Been there done that.............just when you thought it was safe to go outside!! LOL

Yes Aloha I got the awesome box you sent me - thanks esp. for the costus and the pineapples! My kids very excited to get box from Hawaii too (cept they are always disappointed that its "only plants") Now I feel terrible that you could have gotten Kongs without so much trouble! Figures ole Walmart would catch on to a new trend fast - they don't suck our wallets dry for nothing. sorry I didn't get back to you abou tyour box but the dog got hit by a car that day and has been in hospital :(( Policeman too! Stopped for a minute and then took off!!! Lives right down the street! Can you believe? Vet bill $800 and counting...
At least you can get some laughs at the sale telling the tale! "Adventures with Kong" :)

Diva, I'm so sorry for your doggy. How is he doing?

Keaau, HI(Zone 11)

Goodness, Diva...you mustn't feel terrible...it was I who jumped the gun! Your Kongs are better anyway because they came with Aloha! Next time I fall in lust with a plant I have to check with that nursery...they are very innovative and usually have top stuff...

Hope your puppy is OK...

PS Once you have eaten one of those Sugar White Pines...you won't be able to eat another kind.
