THAT is a very special gesture, I know that Mike will appreciate this generosity more than anyone. I tip my hat to you.

I am so sorry to all. I am touched by all the support this family has offered and given me. it has been the hardest and most humbling thing i have ever gone threw i guess i am not superman LOL

I have just regained full internet access other then use of a i phone from a friend for a min here and there. I have a new email address for everyone due to my other is being cut off in 3 days it is [email protected]. I am going to be moving to my sisters in a few weeks to a month She lives here in Florida and it is my best option at this time. until then i am selling all my plants and house hold goods to regain control of my life again. A fresh start i thought i was getting with a job offer and well i guess the job fell threw but ho much fresher can you get but give everything up and start new. I will have help in mass mailing of plants for a few days starting tomorrow and now i am back on line i can actually access my records and ship. My paypal is remaining the same account. that will not change. For those that know me i have quite a plant collection and it is all up for sale/replacement of other plants i do not have from the sale or are not up to the quality i owe all of you. If you know what i have and like some in replacement or extra please let me know threw email or threw tree mail. Until then i will try my best with full steam ahead and will be glad to get threw the next moth or so .

AGAIN my heart felt sorry for this taking the turn for the worse if i could have changed it i would not be in the situation i am now its not a good place to be.

thanks and back to treemails

Mike: I'm so sorry for all that you've endured this year! I don't know you personally but I do know (from what I've read on here and on FB) that you are a good and caring man with a huge heart! I'm sure you are probably planning a yard sale of some sort but maybe you could post a list of what all you have for sale (plants, household stuff etc.) and we could all take a look and maybe help you out by buying something!

What part of the state does your sister live in? I hope you get settled there quickly and find a job. A new start is sometimes "just what the doctor ordered", a fresh, new beginning! I wish you all the best on your journey and once you are settled I'm certain your friends here (me included) will gladly help you get your plant collection going again!

(((((Hugs))))) and Blessings,

Group hug

You'll be fine, Mike. Hardship strengthens us all.

For all those still waiting on plants/refunds, I want you to know that Mike not only recently refunded money from plant(s) purchased over two months ago, those he never received, but also sent me what plants he (finally) received from his grower in Thailand. Just have patience with him. He has a lot on his plate right now.

Mike, I am sending you a Tree-Mail. Ken in Mississippi

Here's a nice little photo of the lovely Starlette lilies that Mike ordered at my request. I love 'em! Thank you, Mike!

Oh, those are gorgeous!

By the way, has anyone heard anything from Mike? I hope he is doing okay and that the move to his sisters went smoothly.

Mike: If you're still watching the threads, I hope you are well and that life is settling down a bit for you!
