I won the December bingo prize and received a gift certificate for Bluebird Nursery. Due to our cold weather, I had to wait until now to order. I received my order today . I received "PowWow" violet, 'Texas Hot Chili' Strep, Codnanthe,' Lillian's Sparkler' Violet, 'Buckeye Easy Goer' Violet and a gift plant of' Buckeye Rockin Robin' Violet. These were nice sized plants, well wrapped and packaged and I ordered only a leaf of the 'Buckeye Easy Goer' and they sent a whole plant. I imagine you all know how great they are, but I'm new to Violets so I was really impressed with them. Thanks to all who are involved in the Bingo games. I love my prize plants! Lou

reviews! reviews! reviews! (sorry, couldn't help myself)...
If the vendor did a good job, I'm sure they'd appreciate a note in the Garden Watchdog: http://davesgarden.com/gwd/c/2824/
When you refer to the Watchdog to find companies to order from, remember that the feedback you're relying on will remain up-to-date and thorough only if everyone - starting with ourselves - makes an effort to post comments about our own purchases. ;o)
Thanks Terry. I had never left feedback before and wasn't sure how to do it. Found out it was as easy as pie. They deserve a good rating. Lou
That sounds like a win-win all around!
And now that you know how easy it is to express your opinion, you can do the same for all your favorite mail order places, local places (Go Gardening tab), books in the Bookworm, plants in Plantfiles and even bugs in BugFiles (okay, those might be the bugs you love to hate ;o)
:)) Grinning about the "Bugs" Terry!
Lou: What a great selection of plants you got with your gift certificate! Hope you will be able to post pic's! I want that Lillian's Sparkler ... that's one in our Bingo Game for April if I remember correctly! I have the AV 'Pow Wow' .... got it from Bluebird a few months ago. You will love it ... very pretty. Mine isn't blooming righ now, but maybe if I feed it soon I will get some blooms! LOL. I like Bluebird too ... they send very healthy plants! Can't remember if I left feedback but I will go back and check!
Enjoy your new plants, and you know you will ALWAYS get great advice from the pro's on this forum ... don't hesitate to ask! I have received so much good advice and tips from folks here!

I added nurseries and have already forgotten how to give a vendor a good rating;.....thanks for reminding me....I have even found one which isn't even listed and they are great....will do....
Thanks! Every review and new company helps make the Watchdog more helpful and up-to-date!
I think that you will be very happy with the plants that you got from Bluebird's. They are not too far from me and I have been there 3 times. I just love going up and down the aisles and looking at all the pretty violet, strepts, etc. that they have. And I have never been disappointed with any of the plants that I have bought from them.

Dispatcher1 - congrats on your new plants. I was just on their site last night and saw the texas hot chili strep, love the color. I ordered from them before, and their plants are great. I was very happy with the plants and would definitely order from them again. They have a great collection deal, 6 av's for 19.99, that is a great deal. I ordered the mini collection and got great plants.
