Pink Crown of Thorns
She always keeps several tables of pot already made up of beautiful plants for sale
Another beauty
I want every single plant container she has
Each is so unique and she is talented
I really wanted this begonia basket
You can drool with me!
Just awesome, Gail! Do you know the name of the one in the third post? I MUST have one of those!!! I love anything black! :) But that is the coolest!!!
Maybe someone can help me but I think it looks like an alocasia or calathea..........someone help misty and me, please.
Look at this giant Whirlpool begonia in bloom for 16.00
That is P. 'black cardinal' in your first photo.
Just one of a hundred baskets of hoyas of all kinds
Thanks, Cicada...............I should have known that you would known that first one. She had them in size up to 4 feet tall.........amazing.........but I couldn't figure out how to keep anything alive until spring.........my front porch is crunched now with the space heaters going........
Please, oh please, someone help us on that one! I do have a Calathea Medallion and I LOVE it! It was a small plant, but I love getting them that way and watching them grow! :)
I can't believe the prices she has on her stuff, just amazing!
Third photo looks like Alocasia x amazonica.

misty, I will be going back many times this spring.............I found a few 4" fabulous philodendrons for Cicada to put in one pot...........
Yes, her prices are fabulous for what she has...........
Begonias galore
There were blooming bromeliads every where
I have some real pretty fern baskets but I will have more room on the porch this summer. I am hanging all the hoyas out on branches under the mesquite trees when spring comes.
I love the way she puts all kinds of bromeliads in one basket
I will show you my favorite 3 orchids
Oh Gail, a 4 inch pot of that would be just what I would want! If you would pick me one up I would GLADLY reimburse you!!! I haven't seen anything like that here, YET! LOL I almost bought a small pot of that squirrely looking Hoya, but it was like 15 or 16 bucks!
number 2 orchid (they were 23.00)
I want more Orchids, too, just not willing to pay 15-18 bucks for them.
I will be more than happy to pick you up anything you would like............I also posted back in October I think under tropicals, begonias and indoor gardening this same place. She does all the growing herself.
Gessiegail....I'm gonna guess you were in Greengate....am I right???
Oh, thanks for the ID on the EE, Cicada, I added it to my want list! :)
Gail, you know you make our mouths water when you do this, right?! LOL
jannich in the av forum picked up some at Walmart for 5.00 each and sent them to me.......so we just have to look for the bargains......trust me if I find bargains on orchids I will buy up the place and then share (LOL)
I was about to die for this particular begonia in bloom
Our Orchids are TINY for what they charge, it is unreal! I couldn't afford postage if I had you get everything I wanted! HA HA HA
What about me standing in a big 4 bay greenhouse this lush everywhere you look............she knows me as I start in the front door (LOL)
That is why it is better when she has them to get the small ones for postage reasons.........but she only charges 6.50 for a big 6" begonia anyway.
I have this begonia and she looks terrific but not blooming
Now is this nice or not!!!!!!!!!!!
just a bit of heaven
I simply cannot tell you Cicada how many cactus she carries
I can't tell you how mad I was at myself that I forgot to pick up one of these natal plum bonsai for 9.00 each!!!!!!!!!!
I could have photographed cactus for an hour if I had had the time......
How would you like one of these hanging on your porch!
I am in pain wanting these
I have been giving right at 7 bucks for all mine in 4 inch pots!
