Hey ya'all... I forgot I had a concert to take my grandson to on wenesday and didn't get to get everyones stuff packed up.. am packing up your plants sunday to mail from my work place on monday... bear with me.. it has been freezing here as well.. I will prolly be adding a few other plants to your packages .. hope you don't mind, the shipping boxes from the nurseries have been coming everyday for the past three days and I have no room! still can't plant out side as it is in the 20s' still for the lows at night.. I had to scrape my windshield this am for work.. ugh!

Debra you have been getting some weather up there. If it's any consolation it's going to be 35 here tonight with a wind chill bringing it down to 23, tomorrow night it's going to be 25 with wind chill down to 11. bbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Don't worry about it, life happens.

same here girly! Been over at Paulines.. came home to take a break and get these ready.. hope I have everyones' address correctly written...

lol I hate that feeling.

Debra Thank you for the Consolation Prizes..We are not able to identify the three plugs.
Where to plant,Sun Or shade,,The mix in sun or shade..We assume sun but we are DUH..LOL

Again Thank you very much..

Tubby

tubby, the only things that are partial sun is the pink flowered impatien.. if I sent you anything else it will be full sun.. here is what I sent out to people, but not in any order:
Impatiens
dahlia "dark angel"
lantana
I.Batata
Salvia "Red Lady"
Lobelia "Crystal cascade"
Coleus

hopes this helps.. the three teeny tiny plugs that have dark green curly leaves are the salvias..

Debra Salvias wow we've never had them. There was a pack of ponderosa beef steak toms..And a package of mixed seeds..So Sun for all.

Thanks
Tubby

I don't know what these are, I'm new to gardening and am horrible at iding things. lol Sandra IDed the Latanas for me, I'm assuming these are the cypress vines?

Debra, I have just went through your seed mix. I recognize--marigold, zinnias, celosia,
datura pod, Hyacinth bean vine--were there some passifloria seeds ??? crepe myrtle seed????, then there was one that seemed to have a fruit like covering on it, I did not recognize at all, what would that be, the seed itself is brown and the fruit looked dark red?
Thank you again for them, I am out to plant the ones I do recognize now.
Sandra

Oh girls, that mix is so full of so many types of vines and flowers.. even what looks like dust is a seed ... I have them mixed for full to part sun, and to get a true view of what you have, go to my multiply site and find the pictures of where they came from, it is free, browse photos and blog faces you will see them all.. the passiflora seeds are the only things that you won't see. Love you all, Debra

Will check it out, thanks again
