Angelica gigas.......i so want this plant

Well Vixens milk is finally coming in
They had to do a c-sec to get the last puppy out
Her milk has been real slow coming in
I've been doing a lot of bottle feeding
But this a.m. I fed everyone ,and all but one were pretty full already
The one blue at the top of the picture is the runt and
doesnt have the strength to compete with the others
Also doesnt suck well
He chews...or gumms the nipple
If I pull the nipple away he sucks though
He does the same thing to Vixen
If I hold him on one of her nipples he does ok
but if I let go of him he falls off or just chews

OH, CC you can send me the runt, I feel so bad for him. They are just
the cutest.

CC, they are beautiful! If I didn't know how big that runt would get, I would be begging. LOL

mama is a real pretty dog cc. what did daddy look like? you take the best pictures. honestly they make me almost yearn to pick one of those babies up.

Back to the orginal subject Angelica gigas. I ordered 2 from Blossom Farm. They arrived today, and are just gorgeous. Big healthy plants. Only $5.90 each and the shipping was the actual cost. I will definitely buy from this place again. I had a question on the tag, and the owner emailed me right away with the answer.

blossom farm? and blpender, you are saying that you paid 11.80 period for two of those? and what were they growing in ...4 in. pots? are there stalks purple now?

I purchased 2 Angelica Gigas @ 5.90 each, one Black Pussy Willow for $8.90. Sub total was $20.70, shipping was $6.05 for the three.
The Angelicas are 8 inches tall (not including the pot). Here is a picture of one. Looks pretty good for only arriving yesterday.

well is that plant going to get purple foliage/stems?

I'll have to let you know. I believe the foliage is green.
blpender

so are you saying that there is a green gigas and a purple gigas?

Mamajack
The stem and "flower" are purple,but the leaves are green on my gigas

well CC, look at the picture that shokami posted above...........is that what yours is? so gigas is purple flower/purple stem/green leaves? plus you have that other one i know. is your soil very damp where they live?

how're the babies?

hey guys.....
here is the pic of the whole plant in the anchorage botanical gardens.... if you check up thread there is a close up of the blooms and stems....... there are BIG plants!!!

thank you for that shokami. they are big and so beautiful. how tall were those plants?

the foliage alone is probably about 3-4 easy ft. the blooms stalks were well over 6'

well if CC doesn't have these available i might just get some from the company blpender mentioned. thanks for all the infomation.

I have'm
Just don't know which is which

well you said earlier that they are too big to trade by the time you can tell. how big is that? you know they have that long mailer. and if i don't have anything you want i will be happy to send postage. and i would like both kinds if you have lots. or shoot i will take them now and hope later if i don;t get the purple one that i can get some more seeds and hopefully can get those to germinate. i had a few left and i have them in the refrigerator now. maybe those will germinate.
