Hey VT, Could you tell me where you get your pots? I know this has probabley already been asked before but I'm new here :o)
WOW! That flower sure deserves to be called Allison!
Yes it's not every one who has an AV named after us- LOL- don't admit it isn't true!
I love that King's Ransom too, very pretty. I haven't ordered from them, suppose I should, huh?
Bob thanks for the photo and description of Allison's Laughter. How very pretty.
Oh just lovely!

Yes I better put my order in. Might take me till June to get it as I know they have a lot of orders but thats ok.
Bob I was thinking of getting september charm .
I just finaly got my order in Bob :))
They don't start shipping until May then they have back orders from Winter. So it will be a good 6-8 weeks from May before they start shipping new orders they said. I don't mind waiting until August or September as I order a few really nice plants. One of course Alison's Laughter !
Lyons' will be bring some plants to our sale in May. I'm saving a space for two.
Well I ordered Alison' Laughter, few Chimeras and couple had to have Chimeras. With their shipping I probaly wont get until August Sept. but I can wait. YUour lucky Nanna do they bring the rare ones ? Cant wait to see what you get !
Don't know! This will be my first show. There will be many from the Baltimore Club members who have been growing since the October Sale. So there will be lots of choices.
Get there early Nanna lol If it's like our shows by noon all the best stuff is gone.
Gosh Nanna were you up at 3,4 am today ?
Yap! Just woke up and couldn't get back to sleep. Guess I was excited about making the wedding cake, today. Bill's daughter is getting married on Saturday and she asked me to make her cake. I'll probable end up taking a nap this afternoon. I really did get a lot of sleep. I went to bed at 8:30 last night.
Please take pictures !

Only thing I think I placed order before you told us about freebies. Lali ordered a bunch od plants too more than me.!
well if order was placed before may 1st...bet you'll get free one...hope so..8))
I'll email and check out Bob Thanks !
Bob I only bought one AV, 4 Chimeras , 3 Chiritas and it says "all free plants are their choice and chimeras not included in this offer..orders must be postmarked by may 1st
ah..allison..i see...the free plant by may 1st comes when you buy 5 plants or 5 sets of leaves..you get free leaves....by the way the white chirita you sent me is blooming....thanks again..8))
Oh wow it's bloom ! It's so aweseom when it blooms many flowers can come out. Do you have a picture of it. My plant keeps growing :)) I love it.
allison..i am so sorry..i meant the alsobia not the chirta 8((.........now i feel that i must make it bloom for you...he he...i will work on it..
You can do it Bob !
no question about it allison..lol
Their real easy to bloom. Mine would get bloom sltaks all around the plant when under lights and I'd have dozens of flowers at one time. Now it's in nautral light couple feet from windows and I still get flowers. They take a long time to form but worth the wait. It;s really neat how the buds form and then come stnading high like Jack in the Beenstalk :)) and one flower opens and out of no wear more flowers keep coming ! I can't wait until you can experience this wonder !
