drdon,

My envelope went out yesterday. I enclosed 5 or 6 .63 cent stamps(can't remember now), if you don't use all mine and someone else is short, Please use whatever you need from my leftovers(if there are any) to cover a fellow DG member that didn't quite send enough for return postage.
Thanks again for the amazing act of genorousity!!

You the man!!!

Bill

hiya Caladiums4Less,

Will do, and thank you for your act of generosity.

don

I sent extras too..so do the same as Bill said...

Thanks again drdon....

hiya Demstratt,

See what happens.......It's a DG giving festival. Thank you for embodying the great spirit of sharing that sets Dave's Garden apart from the pretender sites.

It's a joy to be associated with you people,
don

Dr Don....Hi there! If someone else drops out...I would love a few also. My grandma used to grow these in an old dishpan...(metal)....near her outside pump and sink. In fact...we have pictures of me backing up to the flowers and picking them....lol. I was about 2-3 yrs old. Brings back great memories!
And it's good to see you posting again. I was wondering what happened to you just the other day.
Marcy

hiya Marcy_1

It's good to be back. I'll will certainly keep this thread going until all requests are filled or some stand-by folks get some too.

best to you,
don

The following envelopes went out in today's post

Cordeledawg
marieortiz

Enjoy the Zephs you guys!
don

Well thanks for you offering...So nice. of you to share..Hope you get some beauty's...lol..

Smiles..Diana

All right, I got my stuff ready and then I read about childhood rain lily memories....

I'll drop so that someone else can have these. :)

Dr. I really appreciate your kindness, and maybe we'll swap on another occasion. You truly are a wonderful person for doing this!

Tropicanna,

Don't drop out, I think I can do something for the other person with fond memories. You have done everything right, there is no need for you to give up your spot in line so to speak. No need at all.

Marcy_1

Please send me a dmail


best to you both,
don

My envie went out with extra stamps also. Same as above, LOL

Thanks!
Susan
=^..^=

Oh gosh, Tropicanna...please don't drop out on my account. That isn't why I said that at all! I was just reminiscing. No...you go right ahead and take those. Hugggs....Marcy

DrDon
I think there should be some left over in mine, also. Please keep it if there is. I addressed an extra bubble, so at least you'll have the one I sent you that can be reused. hahaha I was scared it might get damaged so tucked mine inside. I didn't see Critter's post until after I mailed but think I covered my cost with a bit left over. If I've goofed ... please please let me know so I can rectify any mistake I might have made. :-)
~Elaine~

All is well,

Any "goofs" can be fixed easily

best,
don

I too put a bubble envelope inside...If you can reuse mine...just keep the other...

I got confused here about 10 posts ago, so I'm gonna be
quiet and just say I mailed mine at the post office and
thank you very much, DrDon. :o)

Today I received envelope(s) from

lizren

Will be off in tomorrow's mail

don

Wonderful! Thank you so much again for your generosity.

Dr d....If there's any extra $$ with mine...put it in your pocket!!

Hi

My envelope went out yesterday

Thank you so much for doing this!

Erin

DrDon,

My envelope went out to you yesterday. Sorry for the delay, I had the opportunity to go to the "big city" on business over the weekend and couldn't help but plant shop.

I firmly believe we reap what we sow. You are sure to reap the kindness you have shown to all of us.

Hi Dr. Don,

I just sent the envie out today -- had trouble with size, stamps and computer printer, but it is winging its way to you as I type.

Suzy

Drdon, your bulbs arrived today and I planted them in my flower bed. I'll pay forward when they mulitiply. Thank you so much.

okie dokie,

So three have gotten their bulbs and a bucket load went out in today's post. Please announce when you are in receipt of your bulbs so that the list can be updated.

Some 9 envelopes went out in today's post. Several more go out in tomorrow's

ty Cordeledawg for the comment . That was nice.


best to all,
don

Well I did not ask what to do with these..but what I did..was cut the roots..off the bottom...plant...about 2 inches..into clean dirt...potting soil...I did not cut the tops off? I hope that works..I am so excited..they look so cute..oh also watered them...lol...So nice..DrDon...wowow...they are a breathe of fresh air...hehehe..snow is still on our ground...so they are in my sun room...basking... hahaha....Thanks again..

Smiles..Diana

hiya smilin....lol,

Looks to me like you've figured them out. I'm beginning to be curious about your screen name as you seem to have intuited Zephs all by yourself. Maybe you should change to Alreadyagardener....lol.

best to you and enjoy their bright flowers during your summer rains.
don

Dear..Don...oh I wish I could take the credit...but...I "Wantabegardener."...is what I want to be...but I have help.. My friend..in China...told me about the cutting of the roots...to bring on...a better display..of Rain Lilies.. He has only white ones there.. We share many things..lol...He is my reinforcer---- Nice to have one behind..me..and he has youth..lol... Really I have been in DG...many many years...but I learn every day...so many things..and then often..a person like you shows up...and I get to have a try at new things to me...lol...Never too late..to enjoy..special things.. I am sure..you are used to Rain lilies.. But to me..they are going to be a pleasure in my life..thanks again for sharing..them...lol....More smiles.. Diana

Don, just curious, are you sending out bulbs for the pink ones pictured? I saw that you have all colors, so I was wondering! I have the pink ones like the one pictured, and may have some white...can't remember..lol what other colors do they come in?

I'm wondering the same thing now, because I thought they were all white!
I'm sending a mailer today, I guess I'll rely on the luck of the Irish that it'll get to California by St.Patrick's day... :)

Zephyranthes candida are white flowering. I've collected several species in my travels but Z. candida grows so well here that it multiplies sufficiently for me to give away a few hundred bulbs each year. So year soon I do hope to be able to share some of the other species (colors) in this forum, but as of now and for the last several years I've only offered Z. candida.

best,
don

Thanks Don, for the info...I think I may have some white ones too, I believe I got them in a trade last year, will know when they bloom..lol, but my pink ones like the one posted above multiply very nicely for me...I just love them! They bloom on and off all year and always make me smile!
