Connie, that is a good idea to go ahead and label the bags!

Round Robin???
Gail,
I should probably put this on a different thread,but since it is already here,yes the leaf was rooted in half and half and domed.It is still in half and half,but has been out of the dome for at least two weeks.Because of the mix and the tiny cup it is in,it needs water daily.Maybe I should redome it or plant it a regular mix. Your HO is fine for me ^_^.
That said,the RR sounds like so much fun,but I do wonder how these boxes will travel back and forth during the hot weather?? You may need to unwrap and rewrap things to find out exactly what is in there and to make sure things are not too wet or too dry,and get them sent to the next person ASAP.I have things I could add to the box,but I am really very curious to see if it works.

I think it could work but only if people are willing to take what is in the box and then refresh with all new...........that isn't hard..............a set of leaves isn't going to make it more than one trip in this heat................it would be fun for everyone to see what everyone else gets and sends...............if you did this I would even be willing to play...........but feel free to play without me.........I don't mean to put a damper on it..........It is just that I know that unless the box is totally refreshed, it won't work.........
I am so excited because I have a simple corel program but did not know what all it would do.........I have to play with it tomorrow ..........look carefully and I put my name on the picture...........will have to figure out how I want to do it permanently.
Nice job! What a gorgeous photo!
Pat
We have to do something soon about the round robin because I am dreaming of african violets, literally, LOL! There should be a warning label on the pots about their addictive nature.

I completely missed this thread. I went to Texas to visit over the Holiday weekend and I'm just now getting caught up on all the new pictures and threads. I would like to get in on the RR if it is not closed. Lou
I would, too, if it is not too late...............I am having more fun learning how to edit some photos.......Here is Heartland's Lime Sherbet (now I can't find it in my pictures).......boo!
I found it..........
That last one Gail is really nice. I'm experimenting and trying out different things on the Corel MediaOne. Have lots to learn but it is fun!
Here is attempt number one. Unfortunately I used one of my old DG pics and I can't get rid of the imprint on top but anyway It's all just practice right now.
UH oh.........GL........now I have downloaded photoshop elements 6.............but don't know how to use it. A friend is coming out in the morning to show me how..................I will have some fun pictures, too. Yours looks great!!!
Has anyone heard from Dimmer (Kim)? I sent her a dmail the other day, but I'm sure she's busy with work and the new house.
Nichole,when she posted on the 25th she said she had been really busy.
We have take-off!! The box is packed and on it's way to the post office!!
Jannich - keep an eye out!
Tracking info: 420 36474 9101 1501 3471 1697 6628 20
You know, the above number is what printed on the paper that printed with the shipping label, but this is the number that is on the link in Paypal: 9101 1501 3471 1697 6628 20
Weird.
I guess both of them will work.
Still weird!

1 leaf of Frozen in time
1 leaf of Navy girl
1 leaf of Itsuko
Episcia Silver skies
Cutting of Tiny Wood Trail
Hope you all like what I put in the box. ^_^
opps Forgot to mention.I wrapped a couple starter plants in newspaper and taped a plant label with the plants names so if your not interested in it you could just leave it wrapped up.Am I explaining it? LOL
Talk about a fast turn around! Glad most everything made it there ok!
How are the blueberries?
that was a quick turnaround. It should be her tomorrow. I hope, I hope. Can't wait to see what's inside.
The blueberries are good! But when you pick alot of pounds a week you get sick of them really fast ^_^
Hope the box makes it to you fast Eileen.Track andconfirm says it left Orlando today.
Feel free to send as many as you'd like my way!
Nichole,
I have rooted leaves with tiny babies of Pretty Miss Kelly and Handmade for you,but I am worried it is too hot to ship.Should I wait until they get bigger or just send leaves?
Lynn
Blueberries! Ours won't ripen til August! I buy the big containers at Costco til then--they are surprisingly good. I could pick tem all day and eat them all night! LOL
Lynn - my temps for the next 10 days are a bit high, aren't they? Yours are fine, lucky you! If you want (and if you have space), you can let the babies grow a bit for the next month or so, and if I see that we have a cold front moving in, I can let you know? I recently saw on ebay that someone was selling cool packs . . . I could send you one of those, too, if space is an issue for you. Of course, I'll never turn down leaves, either! It is up to you! Just let me know, and I will paypal you for shipping.
I love blueberries! I remember once when I was very young - I want to say it was in Alaska - we went blueberry picking once. I'd love to try and grow them here, but I'm afraid the heat would do them in! Unless . . . are they a winter grower? ^_^
