zuzu said:I've seen your plant list, Joy. The hard part will be finding something you don't already have. Hilarious!


Rolling on the floor laughing Well lucky for me, there's so many plants no one can have everything. But I do try. Hilarious!

A BIG hug and thanks to Marilyn and ATP. With my fifth place win from Lazy S's Perennials I am getting two new hydrangeas from the Cityline Series: Rio and Mars! I'm thrilled to death.

Thanks so much Marilyn and ATP. It was so much fun to look for something new for my garden. I chose 3 hostas from Romence Gardens. Pandora's Box, Autumn Frost and Alakazaam.

Since I was already ordering I found a couple of other things I really liked and thought it was a good time to order them too! Hilarious! Hilarious!

It's so fun to hear what everyone is getting with their GC's. I haven't ordered yet, but when Bluestone Perennials emailed my GC, they included a 15% off coupon. What a great company! I've ordered from them before, so I know their plants are just as great.

I just placed my order at Flowers By The Sea tonight. Of course, I had to have more plants than the $50 GC. Hilarious!

This is what I ordered...

Salvia greggii 'Plum Wine'
Salvia greggii 'Lowrey's Peach'
Salvia x jamensis 'Yellow Pink'
Salvia x 'Christine Yeo'
Salvia microphylla 'Elk Velvet'
Salvia x jamensis 'Pat Vlasto'
Salvia microphylla 'Stephanie’
Salvia microphylla 'People's Park'
Salvia coccinea 'Forest Fire'

I already bought more tubs to plant them into. I get the plastic tubs at Kroger's in the storage section isle (the ones with the white ropes on the sides for 'handles'). I drill 8 holes into the bottom and I'm 'go to go'! Thumbs up

Just got my gift certificate for Santa Rosa Gardens. The only problem is they seem to be sold out on at least 60% of their catalog. I'll have to see what's left that will grow in my area.

Contact them and see if you can use it later on. Every year I order on black friday for the following spring and get every thing half price . They let you pick any shipping date you want , for me it is second week of May.

Bob's got the right idea. Often these gift certs are good for a year or more. We'll have more raffles like this during late or off season and the winners will just use them when the right time comes.
