Someone told me they dont' mind pictures so I will bring my camera :)
Oh, you brat! LOL!! (I say that affectionately, you know!)
Laurie had great photos from there.....I recently ordered a few begonias from them.........how I'd LOVE to visit that place!
Have fun!!! Don't forget to rent the U-Haul first! lol!!
Well Nan...Get your butt down here for a visit and we can all go together :) I am up for that :) We can all be co dependent together :)
I am actually going to put a new stand up tomorrow just so I will have it for my new goodies (Laugh)
well that and the fact that I need more room for the lovelies that Jill aka Critter sent me :)
Oh, if only you knew how badly I wish I could!!
I have a friend who lives in Plant City (don't know how far that is from you) that I need to visit someday....but she worries me, she tends to enjoy getting into get into trouble, and it's virtually *never* plant related!!! lol!!
Good for you....your are most definitely prepared for your new finds....you think ahead!!
Well Nan..if there is anything you want me to look for for you there..let me know :)
I don't know where plant city is..so I couldn't say how far away from me it is :)
Funny thing is, I have an order in with PHOE!
Just checked the map....as I didn't know where Plant City was either (Ironic name, huh?) and it's way over on the other side, not far inland from Tampa.....but there's a highway that leads almost directly from there to you!
We're home-bodies...and we're always broke....so if it ever happens, it'll be a while!
(laugh) We are always broke too because we spend too much on our plants! We all have our own addictions I suppose :)
True!
OK...pick me up one of everything LOLOL!!!! ;)
Have fun this weekend! Wish I were going, too!
Have a great time, Lorry!
Nan..I did get your hindu rope and will get it out in the mail to ya monday :)
Woohoo..I am off..so you guys won't hear from me today :)
I am armed with my camera and Laurie's list :)
So wish me luck guys..and let us hope I dont' bust my piggy bank!
Lorry...enjoy.......................
Ok I am back :)
They dont' carry gesnersiads any longer :( She said they had one columnea and one AV and that was all :( So I was disappointed but I did get some lovelies *I will take photos to share tomorrow :)
I also took pictures while I was there :)
Ok what I got was
a begonia that looks like a red maple leaf :)
2 sedumns
a HUGE moonlight philodendron
a Jewel orchid for 5.00!!!!!! They always seem to be a fortune online!!!! and it is INCREDILE!
a mini self heading philodendron that looks like a TINY black cardinal (I had never heard of this before either!)
a red leafed hoya (another first for me!)
a pink pineapple bromeliad
another training bromeliad that is a deep maroon color
a black cardinal philodendron :)
great haul there girlie! I've been thinking about trying this jewel orchid

item 7764280891
(I bought the other one here at home depot. they're relatively common for like 6 bucks, I think, strange that they are more prevelent here than in sunny FL?)
show us photos of the philos! how exciting.
Yes, pictures!!!
OH Laurie..I just can't find them there. I am going to be posting pictures on here...If you ever find any other then te one I have..I would be forever indebted if you pick it up for me :)
That is the one I have Laurie. I bought 2 for 5.00..if you want one..you are welcome to it :)
Though to be honest..the foliage looks like the ones she has. I have no idea which one it is.

This is one of their arrangements right by the door
I LOVED this statue
Lovely begonias lining the walkways
Lovely gardens everywhere
Pots of begonias in all shapes and sizes
I was disappointed to hear that they no longer carry gesnersiads but the stuff was still gorgeous to look at :)
This castle was inside the first begonia house
Here is the begonia I picked out for myself.
I forgot the name but emailed the owner to get an ID
Here is one I picked up for Laurie..it is exotica
Here is a yellow pineapple bromeliad. These are the ones that get the little pink pineapples on them :)
Here is another trailing bromeliad to add to my collection :)
I just LOVED it :) ..excuse the spots...One plant had potatoe bugs so everyone got treated before they got baths
This is called Bill's beauty.
Another that was picked up for Laurie (if she wants it) The owners wife said it was similar to one that was on your list
a pot FULL of sedums
This is really something special :)
A MINI philodendron. She says this is as big as it gets!
I had never heard of such a thing and just had to have it!
a lil black cardinal baby
Another picked up for Laurie..I believe it is called raspberry rampage
My new Jewel orchid
Philodendron Moonlight
