Yes if you don't mind waiting. But you have to wait for all the non-winter shipping vendors you never know how many order were taken before ours. But all good things are worth the wait.
I ordered from VG on Jan 4th but people may have been ordering all winter . So who know I might get my order in May or June ? I don't mind waiting either !
Ebay seller special offer
yea, better to wait, then you can space out your orders and not have them all arrive at once.
yes well i only ordered from Violet Gallery so far. I will
order Streps from Gary's Out of Africa !
Which streps are you pining over? I want one with variegated leaves but they go for so much!
I'll have to wait on that for a bit. I ordered my petrocosmea from Lyndon Lyons along with a chimera and some other green petal AV's.
Lyndon Lyons I am going to get Alison's Laughter ! And few Chimera too
i may get his ten plan special and some of his EPISCIA
Laurie - I have a variegated strep. When she's bigger and has a few leaves, I can put you down for one?
Oh Thanks Anita! I'd love it! Alison I ordered Allison's Laughter! Couldn't help myself!
Oh my goodness I am getting my order in tomorrw. I'm too tired now to think. Need to nap and wrap plants :))
I got mine today! I must say that some are pretty small. But otherwise healthy.
Here's a list of babies.
Berlin Beauty (she sent two of these darn it! I was hoping no duplicates!)
Ness' Angel Glitter
Wranglers Snowbride (or snow bride)
Wranglers Dixie Dawn
Aca's Eye Knees (bummer, I just ordered this one from LL)

Champion's Dreamland (E. Champion) Semidouble light pink ruffled star/white eye. Crown variegated light-dark green, plain. Standard
Yes I do and I wanted this one :))
Did you buy one box or two ?
I wonder if Lorry got her's today ? Her Dad would have to open them.
Did you get your Russians yet ?
No Bluebirds yet. I didn't get any notice that they had shipped yet so I wont look until they send me an email.
I bought two boxes of Linda's special. I hope Lorry gets some nice ones too.
I can't find a photo of Champion's Dreamland on AVSA photo site. Does FC have one?
No picture sorry
So you paid $80.00 for these special prices plants that included shipping ! Pretty good price. Too bad you got doubles but can share them :))
Well, she only sent one double, and I looked at them again today and I'm pretty happy. I like all the varieties. She didn't know that I had two Maggie Lee already. But then I can bring two to our sale table to share!
Did you see my chimera on eBay was arount 48.00 last time I looked!
WOw I have not looked :))
Will you keep the Maggie Lee I gave you ??
Just kidding. lol
Of course! I'll never part from the original AV's that got me hooked! (wink wink)
I have babies of Pride's Pink Trail coming up and Maggie Lee Babies too, I guess that makes you a grandma!
(congratulations!)
Oh I love my Prides Pink Trail !
Mine trailes perfect and blooming crazie .
It's a Vintage
Pride's Pink Trail (5714) 04/11/1984 (C. Sotkiewicz) Double pink star. Black-green, pointed, quilted. Semiminiature trailer
And mine makes FC look sick !
Well, I almost lost Pride's pink trail to over watering way back, but managed to save two crowns and it recovered. (YEA!) i put one of the wilted leaves down and it made it! (Lost mom Allegro Harvest Moonglow but have two leaves that have pups!)
You lost Allegro Harvest Moonglow ? Oh mannnnn. I paid big bucks for Mom plant and was hoping you could grow me one lol :((
Just kidding ..but they do go for a lot on Ebay did when I bought my from Bufford anyway.
Woodland Sprite is beautiful!
Ok folks, finally got notice that my newest edition has shipped, so I expect that early this week I will be the proud owner of....da da da da...POW WOW!!! Yes it's true, I bid last minute on EBAY and was the only bidder, bought it for $3.95!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have ordered it from somewhere, Allison where are we expecting plants from? In the event that I end up with 2 I can trade, gift or add to my secret bunny's suprise package!
It took quite a long time to ship and I was afraid to say anything until I got the word that it shipped! Didn't want to Jinx it, LOL.
aren't the trailers great? I think they are so different.
Anita I feel trailers are great too ! I think I like the wide bushy types with lots of flowers as that how most of mine trail so I must have that kind. lol I like them nice and full and for me the fun of growing them is to let them grow crazy :))
I'm not showing them so it's ok ! My Fun :))
Congratulations April on your Pow WOW Exciting and a great price ! I ordered from Violet Gallery. Most plants I got from thm last year were blooming and never stopped ! I can't wait to get mine :))
Yes I believe that I ordered from Violet Gallery as well, but as you know I ordered Pow Wow from Bluebird and got the lovely Kathie Denise in it's place. If VG sends me a large/blooming size then my ebay bargain will just have to be gifted! Allison when is VG supposed to ship? I want them to hurry up.
They said they ship in May but if it's warm enough they will ship in April !
I still have not gotten mine yet :( Hopefully soon though!
Don't know if I can wait that long! Maybe I will be in withdrawals by then.
It will be Ok it's worth the wait. They told me they don't ship until May but if it warm enough not just where you live but where they live they might start shipping in April. They also post this on their sight ! Rob's guarentee delivery starts on the 16th. I called them. They will ship but will not guarentee only express.
Lyon's greenhous start in May . But any of these Vendors taking orders all summer first order comes in first shipped. I sent my order in Jan 3rd. ! Still going to do order with Lyon's but probaly won't get it until June as I'm sure in May when they start shipping there will be a lot of orders before me.
I will be sorry but guess I will take a look at what I have and what I rec've before I order anything more. I have to figure out a system that will work for me, I have no shelves etc. and have already rec'd complaints from one of my daughters about the number of plants that I have around the house. LOL. My DH told her that I have nothing on his mom-(I never met her, she had been dead many years before we met).
Oh sorry April I thought you said you already ordered from VG and could not stand waiting ?
I wish I could learn some will power :(
No you were right, I did order from VG. I haven't ordered from the rest and I am sure that I don't have the will power to resist them! It's been all I can do to not order from Rob's w/ his hefty winter shipping fees!
Oh there was no way I was going to pay $22.00 for one plant but then xtra for each plant on top of that.
I order like 4 plants so I could get something my Secret swap buddy was liking so I ordered two for me to at least have 4 plants in the box for $12.00 shipping.
He is shipping April 10 th. and won't gaurentee them until ship date the 16th. crazy. But Lorry got her's Ok so I thought I'd take the chance as they did not ask for many kinds and I had none of them and he's the only one that will ship after Nov. and I was not going to pay $22.00 plus extra for each plant. No way :))
Hmmm, well then I would be more than willing to order if I can refuse the extra "winter" charges.
Hey guess what, I am so excited, the NASA AV Society is sponsering a show and sale on Apr 8th & 9th. Also sponsering a sale on Apr 8th in another city- I am torn because the Sale only is much closer than the show/sale, but have emailed the contact to see where I am more likely to have my goals met.
I had been tempted to drive several hours to Corpus Christi- 2 1/2 to 3 hours away- to attend the show there but this is much closer 45 min the sale alone and 1 1/2 hours to the show. The show's theme is Ports of Call- that tends to suggest to me that there might be plants from other countries? Maybe- possibly wishful thinking, this is after all, Texas. LOL. Anyway something to look forward to for me.
Great Show and Sales are wonderful !
