The other day I received a package from Lorry, mostly AV plants and leaves. But she was so gracious and sent my DH a beautiful sago palm. I know this is an AV forum, but we all spend so much time with one another here, I just wanted to show you all the palm. Here it is all potted up. My DH was so happy. He had no idea that he was getting it because I wanted to surprise him. So when the package came, I told him that he had to sit down with me and open the box. And when I pulled out the palm, he was so excited. Thanks Lorry for making my DH so happy.

Isn't this a beauty
Oh wow it's gorgous :)) That was so kind of you and Chir to share this wonderous plant ! No wonder your hubby was so Happy Jesse !
And of course all the African violets and leaves ! You go girl hope you have lots of babies :))
Allison,
I thought that was so nice of Chris and Lorry to share that palm with my DH. They also sent him a parlor palm too. It is really nice too and he was so happy. And when a plant makes him happy, that makes me happy. I finally got some money to send to you now. I will get a money order in the mail to you tomorrow. My DH's work finally paid him, but only a third of what they owe him. We are just praying that they pay him the rest soon since we are behind in our bills because of their poor financial management. But I made sure to save out enough to send to you and to get my shelves that I needed. I want to grow as many AVs as I can because I know that they make my DH so happy. And when he's happy, I'm happy.

WOW I'm so happy you and your husband are enjoying the Palms and African violets together :)) This is so Speical ! I am happy for you and excited !
It's crazy they don't pay him his money. What kind of work does he do ?
Oh Jesse..I am just glad he enjoyed it..and you enjoyed the AVs :) The sago needed a new home :) Someone who really loved him.
And please..take care of your bills first sweetie..We have all been behind a time or two...and I am really not worried about the shipping.
He is a VOIP engineer, among many other things. He writes programs for internet phone service and all kinds of stuff like that. I am so proud of him. He is so smart. When I listen to him talking on the phone, it sounds like he is speaking a foreign language, all those technical terms that he uses. The guy that he works for does not know how to manage the company's finances very well and has gotten them in trouble. My husband last got paid on Dec 1s. He is owed 4 paychecks now and we are behind on our bills. Our landlady is ready to throw us in the street because we owe her for two months rent. So it has been hard. At least we are getting something. Hopefully enough to get us caught up. But with all of that going on, he feels that it is important to set aside a little money for me and my plants. He knows how important they are to me so he made sure that I got what I needed for my plants. He really is a great husband. And he is so young. Much younger than me. But more mature than my ex every thought of being. He takes really good care of me. That is why it was so important for me to find something that he likes. And that is why the AVs are so important to me. Anyway, we are just praying that he will get caught up on his pay soon. We surely do need it. I was so happy about the sago palm. He has wanted one for so long. And they were either too expensive or too damaged where people liked playing with them and breaking off branches. This one that Lorry sent is so beautiful. It has a certain way that it curves around, making it very unique. What was so funny is that when we got through going through the box from Lorry, he told me, "make sure you pot mine up first". I thought that was so cute. Anyway, I can hardly wait until the AVs get bigger and start to flower. Not to mention how excited I will be to see a baby pop through the soil. I will be so excited to be an official AV mom.

I hope they pay him all his money he worked so hard to earn and you need.
I know about $$ shortness and I do believe also :)) it's important to have a little fun $$ . That's where my plants come in too !
We never go out or do anything my hubby never even buys clothes. But one day It was so pretty out I said let's do something fun ! So we went to Lowes and bought bunch of flowers and organic dirt we like and made a beautilf front garden :)) This is our fun together ! This was down out other home. Couple years ago.
He love plants and gardens too and we have a few garden beds but with both our health and all we don't have as manyas we use to but sure treasure what we do have :))
Thanks Allison. I hope they pay him too. The money they are giving him right now will only pay past due amounts on all of our accounts. It will not let us catch them all up. So I'm praying that soon they will pay him again. They want him to fly back to CA and do some more work there but I told him that he is not going anywhere until ALL that they owe him is paid in full. I'm so glad that you and your DH have something like that to share together. I am trying my best to get my DH involved in growing our little AVs. He is coming along pretty well. He expecially likes the ones that are spotted or varigated. He is able to appreciate their beauty most of all. I did buy him a cute pink one last night. Has anyone noticed that Optimara has gone up on their price by $1.00? They have here. Now instead of being $1.98 they are $2.98. Is that just here or have you all noticed this anywhere else?
JesseK
Oh my goodness Jesse but named Optimaras are so hard to get and so expensive. There are two sights that sell them for aboyt $7.50 for one leaf. Plus shipping.
DID your's have a name on it ?
