Plan on being there with bells on. I am in charge of photography for the Amador Valley Quilters show that weekend with setup on Friday. 300+ quilts to shot before I come. I will be looking for ya'

Cool! The C&S section will be down by the conference center.

Are you going to put up some photos of the quilts on DG after the show? I'd love to see them!

Marilyn, are you going to be there Friday night? If you are I'll make sure and stop by the C&S section and say hi!

Yes, definitely. Be sure to stop by - it'll be great to see you again!

Marilyn

Will do! I can't wait, I've got my shopping list of plants all ready to go, now I just have to cross my fingers that something doesn't come up to keep me at work late and make me miss out on the ones I absolutely have to have!

Then come and see me last so you don't lose out on anything!

That's the plan! I have 2 or 3 on the "must have" list and I'll be racing over to those sections first to make sure I don't miss out! The only thing standing in my way (other than traffic) is people at work who might not understand that this is the single most important event of the year and if I'm not there right at 5 I might miss out on plants that I can't live without! I was a half hour late for the UC Santa Cruz sale yesterday and they were already out of two Grevillea's that I really wanted...lesson learned!

It's the attack of the plant crazylady!! HEHEHEHEHEHE If you can, get here early. The parking lot fills up fast, and then you'll have to park at the Lawrence Hall of Science and take the shuttle down to us. On a good day it takes me at least 5 minutes from the time I hit the parking lot until I get into the Garden. I imagine it'll be a LOT longer than that Friday night.

See you Saturday!

Unfortunately I can't possibly leave work earlier than 4, hopefully if I can get out right at 4 I'll get to the garden by about 4:45 or so. I'm assuming I'll have to park up at the top and take the shuttle, that's what happened last year but it wasn't too bad--I still found everything I wanted, nothing had run out yet!

If you can't get there before 4:45, assume the parking lot's full and park at the Lawrence Hall of Science and shuttle down. I'm pretty sure that'll be the quickest for you, and you should be in line before we open.

See you then!

Marilyn

Oh shoot oh shoot oh shoot. I can't come. Oh shoot again!

Marilyn, do you know if they will have a lot of amorphophallus and arisaema. Oh shoot oh shoot oh shoot.

This is a GREAT sale.............

Sorry - I'll miss you!

If they're up and/or blooming, they'll probably be offered. I know we've had a lot of them for sale on the plant deck this spring.

Marilyn

Shoot shoot shoot. LOL

Oh Marilyn, now I am so needy...................
I sent you 2 emails...................

In case anyone's interested, I posted some pictures of the cacti & succulent section's plant display on the C&S forum. There are six pictures. Take a look here: http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/715096/
