We don't have to have any certain number, but I would like to be sure that there is enough interest to make it wothwhile for Curt to spend his time on.
Tropical Hibiscus Coop Anyone Interested?
Yahoo!! How many people do you feel there needs to be to go ahead with the co-op? I would absolutely want in on this co-op!!! I have looked at the website quite a few times and drooled all over everything!!!
Raven
I thought I posted that i would be interested in a co-op, but don't see my post, anyway if you go with it count me in. Donna
At the moment I am just not sure if this is worthwhile or not????
Dstarz is preparing to have one with another vendor and I am not sure if there is really a need to do another one??
Donna has said that she would run hers long enough for us northerners to be involved, so I guess at this point I am feeling a little like I should put a hold on this to see the ones she will be offering in her coop.
I know she posted that she was just waiting approval, so I think we should probably all check the coop thread and see what she is offering.
Alice
If each coop have different ones, I bet there would be enough of us to go for both!!
one of the coops has a limited number to choose from...one has lots more....i would be willing to do them both...i already have my order in for one....but luv hibiscus so i am just waiting....lol
cindy
Hi Cindy and Kell
I will wait and see what is offered in Donna's and then see what we all think then.
I have been on the co-op page and didn't see one. Is the other,for Hardy Hibiscus?
Teresa, I don't think that the other coop is set up in the coop forum yet. There was a coop for Hardy Hibiscus - but that's different to the ones being discussed here.
I know in Donnas post recently she said she had sent an application in for approval, so I would check back occasionaly to keep an eye on it.
I just love these hibiscus. I can never winter them over, so I am thrilled to get them in early spring.
Oooooh! It's my birthday today and this is the first thread I read in this forum! a sign! a sign! Time for me to get myself a present! I am in. I need to be shipped at the appropriate time for my zone though as we are aslready having frost and snow here in MA.
dstarz has all ready started on at the following link:

She has 3 different shipping dates, so hopefully one of those will work for you.
Alice
alice does this mean your coop is off?? I saw some very lovely ones (in particular, the trailing hibiscus) w/ the vendor you planned to use. I don't see any trailing ones featured in the other coop. what's going to happen w/ this one?
yes, I'm weak (or is it obsessed?) I ordered from the other one too.

I hope it is still a go. I've ordered from the other one, but I'm easy!! LOL!
Happy birthday gardenmart. Hope you have had a great day today.
OH..I's signeu here .. but if it isn't running I should order from the other if they are still accepting orders.. where can I find the other co-op .. I've looked through the tropical folder but I didn't seem to find it...
could someone point me to the other one..
is this one going to order
Thanks... Gordon
I tell you what!!!
If 10 of you sign below this that you are still interested I will do it!!!!
I looked too and realized curt had some that are quite different that I would have ordered even though I ordered from the other one also.
So here you go guys and gals!!! 10 People below this post!!!!!
Alice
I would like to order from this website also. Thanks
Alice, I would be interested! :)
Looks good to me!
Hi all
Yes I believe everything will be available. Curt also told me that he might have a limited number of liners that had not been released yet! I haven't talked to him in a few weeks but will contact shortly to see about that!
Alice
Here waiting in line!!
Okay thats 5 we need 5 more!!!!
This sounds great. I would like to be included. I have two large hib standards that I trained and bloom constantly all summer. More blooms than ever since I tried pruning them back to 6-8" inches from the main trunk, and hold them cool and semi-dormant over winter. This one reached 6' ft, a nice clear tropical orange. Count me in!
am I #7? i'm in
Donna when would delivery be? Also where is the link so I can take a look at his liners. Sound very interesting. I might be interested in ordering from both. I have to have a late Feb/early March delivery or even later.
Robin
robin the link is at the top of the thread and anything you see on his site I believe will be offered to us as liners.
There is a difference in price which is also discussed near the top of the thread.
Ihere is the link to the one dstarz has going on now through another vendor.http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/469189/
I'm here and ready to roll.

i think i already said i would want in on this one too, but im saying it again.....lol
cindy
Yes.. I'll go through this one.. and perhaps the other also.. Guess that makes 10 Alice.. they are so lovely.. how could one resist... Thanks to you for the management.. it's quite appreciated here... Gordon
OH one last hibiscus bloom inside getting paler all of the time here 's nestled behind the brugs blooms
Me!!
Larkie
Awe...........Gordon. So nice to see blooms. Both brug and hibiscus blooms are very pretty.
Magellan, what is that pink flower that is contrasting so nicely with your orange hibiscus?
I still want to do this one...
Okay I will contact curt today and see how soon he wants to start!!!!
I would like to get in on this please.
Robbie
Kell, the hanging pink flowers around the orange hibiscus are Polygonum (persicaria) orientalis. They start blooming in June here, and grow up to 10' ft. It's one of my favorites, the large leaves look tropical and have an interesting collar-like growth appendage where the petiole attachs to the main stem. Easy and reseeds but not invasive here. The plants branch but do not over shadow surrounding plantings. Excellent companion for brugs and cannas for color and contrast. I have seeds if you would like...
Thanks, Brugie! At these prices I can hibiscus over my house! I like several on each link. Sigh. and it's winter in MA. I have to wait!!
Exotic hibiscus has a couple that the other coop doesn't have. so I will spread the largesse around. I just got a lovely green birthday present from my mom. just the right size to participate in both coops. It's still winter!
