I'm going to try for the TET WAXEN SPLENDOR instead, I think… although now I'll be terrified that it will croak on me, especially after reading those horror stories here about how the tet conversions croak so easily… I guess it's always something, eh?

The TET WAXEN SPLENDOR is right at the top of my price range, but it says it's very pollen fertile and that sounds pretty good to me.

Betty, I would go for Tet Waxen Splendor over T RFK.

WOW, Mike, that is one beautiful bloom! And I think that image should be in our database, don't you? I would be beyond thrilled if I had a bloom like that!

To be fair, thats $2500 a double fan. Whistling

I've gone back and forth on Tet WAXEN SPLENDOR. I was kind of hoping it would be a bit cheaper this year.

Hey, maybe you could find someone to split it with you -- Michele?

Seems like last year I could only find TET WAXEN SPLENDOR as "Display," so I'm going to go for it this time around.

I just checked the Floyd Cove Facebook page, which people can access via the very first post in this thread, and it's absolutely amazing how far they have come with creating their new nursery. There are pictures from just a few weeks ago, when Guy was out there with a tractor in the big field -- and now they have a huge shade cover built and seedlings planted everywhere!

There is also a wonderful tribute to Phil Reilly, who passed away on Dec. 19. They were great friends.
