Though it is now too cold to ship to the majority of the US, by pre-ordering now, you will hit a home-run in three ways:

1. You will lock in a lower price. Generally speaking, prices will be higher in the spring, 2015.
2. You will get the plant(s) you want, since I often sell out of varieties in the spring/summer (I am a hobbyist and don't have a lot of any one variety).
3. Your plant(s) will be 3-4 months older and larger. You pay nothing for me to "babysit" that/those plants through the winter months.

Check my website, www.tropicalplantsandmore.com. Then contact me directly with what you want. I will confirm that the plant(s) is available (and apply any discounts), and will then invoice you through PayPal. Or you can pay by check if you prefer.

Oh my goodness - I just read your line "It is funny . . . ".
As a wife I now know how to NOT punish my hubby!!!

There you go. We husbands KNOW when we have crossed the line though. After 42 years, I certainly know when I have done wrong!

Whoopee, I can finally ship some orchids, three fiddle leaf ficus, and a mounted staghorn fern out. I have baby-sat some of these plants for three weeks!
