I am in Nashville. : ) Got the Optimara lady to tell me where they deliver to locally. She told me the Flower Mart on Greensboro. I have never seen such beautiful plants in all my life, and I don't mean AVs. They have begonias and ivys and geraniums (and AVs). If you are passing through or live in the area, it is worth a stop. It may just be that I hit at the right time of year. Not an impressive place on the outside, but the plants are GORGEOUS. Anyway, got 2 huge everfloris, and several smaller AVs. All very healthy, and very reasonable. In great shape and the smaller ones are in the cutest pots. Has anyone ever taken AVs on a plane? I wonder if they would let me. Some of these are for my stepmom, but I want to take a few home with me. Hope everyone is having a good day. The dogwoods are blooming here. Just beautiful.
Run, Don't Walk, to Flower Mart in Nashville
Nice Pam ! Sounds so wonderful. Beautiful plants ! Your so lucky. Optimara grows a noce lone of Begonias , ivys and geraniums too !
Can't wait to see pictures of your plants. How long are you gone for ?
Lali brought plants packaged in her suitcase and carried some on too !
Hi Pam...Nashville is a wonderful area..so glad you got to see the plants etc..and pick some up...shouldn't be a problem taking in plane...spring in Tennesse is very special..and the dogwood and the forsythia and the red bud...oh my ..how glorious!!
Hi Pam, I carried 9 home with me from Florida earlier this month. I put what I could into the plastic sleeves that they cam with and set them down into a priority mail box. I could fit 9 4" pots in perfectly. No one bothered me from the airlines etc.
Very nice that you found such a cool source!
Thanks, Begonia!!!
I've carried orchids home with me on the plane and have never had a problem.
Whew! I'd be *really* tired if I ran all the way to Nashville, lol!
(couldn't resist!)
