Vero Beach, FL(Zone 9b)

They are just incredible :) I don't know HOW to thank you enough Allison :)
And only two leaves even fell off and they are happily repotted :)

Dunedin, FL(Zone 10b)

Lorry did I label wrong the one flowering you named "
raspberry queen " is Simplicity pretty hard to get girl foliage. But I did send raspberry queen but it is not in bloom and does not have girl foliage. Isn't Star Wars little scalloped variegated leaves so cute :)) I just has to send her to you. And I know you wanted Baby Moonbeam :))
I am so happy you got your boxes ! WOW you open fast ! Do you like your Strep Susan I grew by leaf for you ? And you Chirita S. Hisako ( SP ? )
Oh yes and your little Optimara . Oh I'm so excited you got your box ! You did not have trailer Sweet Sam did you ? Or the Midget Lilian and Lilian Sparkler ?
Oh I hope I did not do many doubles.
I am so happy you got Blue Dragon and the bloom still looks fresh !
Wow I stuck a few leaves in I in the end when I fount some room I thought you may enjoy and one Russian .
Hugs and Enjoy :))

Vero Beach, FL(Zone 9b)

Nope..I just checked and I did :) I wrote it down wrong when I brought the list in here for the photos :) You labeled right :) I didn't :)
It is adorable and donated one leaf since it was broken off...so I potted it up to share :) It is one of my favorites in the group :) then again I think I am madly in love with them all :)
Susan is adorable but Hisako wasn't in the box I don't think ...I will go look now.
I Adore the optimara...too sure...midget lilian..yup...midget sparkler I dont' remember I would have to look and sweet sam I may have to look too...I believe there was a trailer though
I didn't see any leaves either..erm I just opened it so I will pop through and look again.
and I will get back to you on hisako, sam and sparkler

Vero Beach, FL(Zone 9b)

Yup on sweet sam :) and he is a cutie pie! amd yup on sparkler.

and nope Hisako didn't make it into the box but still incredibly tickled with all the LOVELIES :)

And there was a russian plantlet...is that what you meant? Velvet something :) and she is grogeous!

Vero Beach, FL(Zone 9b)

I went through the packing again and not seeing any stray leaves ...did I lose them somehow? if so I will be digging for them for sure!

Dunedin, FL(Zone 10b)

Hisako Has to be in there it's real big, with Alice, and Gray Lady , and a tiny Teddy Bear. Did you get three boxes Lorry ?

Dunedin, FL(Zone 10b)

Lorry all the leaves are in cups that say leaves on them and then the cups are covered with baggie. There are about 3-4 styrofoam cups with leaves, there's Chirita leaves and couple kinds of Buckeye leaves ( can't miss them their large and 3-4 in each bag) a large leaf of Russian , Rob's Boondoogle and more :))
Did you open each cup even light ones that say leaves on the outside ? Did you get three boxes ?

Dunedin, FL(Zone 10b)

Oh yes I packed a very large Hisako and Grey Lady and Aussie Alice and cups of leaves. Maybe did you only get 2 boxes I sent three ? As I know and wrote down each plant but I packaged them :))

Dunedin, FL(Zone 10b)

I am pretty sure Lorry the third box did not come ? I also think it has the magazine and Calender with Precious and I in it. Did you get this ? There were two large Priority boxes taped together , and a thrid large Priority box all shipped together same time. Maybe the mail man did not want to carry them all.
I hope you get it tomorrow as it's an awesome box packed Special for you too :))
Sweet Sam (8845) 12/08/1999 (P. Harris) Double pink/variable pink and or white mottled edging on top petals. Medium green, pointed, heart-shaped, serrated. Semiminiature trailer

Oh my GOSH....I'm so excited for you Lorry.

Allison, you are such a giving human being...it seems everything you touch grows.

Dunedin, FL(Zone 10b)

Well Lorry sent me a lot also :))
I hope Lorry comes back to let me know about the missing box. I sent three large Priority and sounds like she only got two of them.
Lorry you have Chimera Trailer too :))

I need a new calendar! So that is exciting :) and I can't WAIT to see the magazine.


Vero Beach, FL(Zone 9b)

Ah yes that is a trailer LOL..I forgot :) And she is just Lovely!


Pam I believe that is Baby moonbean which I am particularly excited about!
I have not told Allison yet but I lost 2 leaves of Baby moonbean :( and I so love it! So to actually get one is VERY exciting!

Dunedin, FL(Zone 10b)

I know you said you wanted Baby Moonbeam bad :))
I'm going to put a Baby Moonbeam in the pot Kenton made me . :))
I'm sure you'll get your other large box :)) tomorrow. Your mailman might not have wanted to carry them all.
Guess what Precious and I are in the calander month of March :)) And were on the front cover of the magazine :))
Ok I am so Happy you like everything. I still have more I want to send you. lol
Now I can't wait for you to get your other box tomorrow :))

Vero Beach, FL(Zone 9b)

Perhaps so Allison..especially since I got my order from Charley's today...So he probably just got sick of looking at boxes! If it doesn't show up tomorrow..I will pop over to the post office and see what is up!
Everybody was totally healthy! And still full of life..I can't believe they didn't even lose more then two leaves between them all!
I really thought the tower of boxes was it though..I have NO idea you sent more then that!
I am not sure I am ever going to be able to repay all the lovelies you sent to me!
