ok I know I should not say this but I got the confirmation on our order today with a ship date of October 10 later then i wanted but cant do anything about it. I will be watching the weather and ship to the coldest place first. If there is any doubt in the weather i will contact you so PLEASE WATCH YOUR TREE MAIL AROUND THAT TIME IF ITS COLD. I will pack like crazy and for you who have amaryllis bulbs i have those scheduled to ship to me between oct 3-6 so i should not have any hold ups.after reading some of the tips on adeniumsindia.com i decided to try the up rooting and rinsing of the roots and i tell you all the plants i purchased from walmart homedepot and lowes are all TOTAL ROOT BOUND so now have to re-pot them just waiting for time and them to quit flowering. hope i have pots. anyone have about 100 pots they like to donate to a good cause......me i have a BUNCH of purple rose plants to pot and ALL my plumeria need it. I think i have and will have about 200 plants needing bigger pots or pots period and i just started 50 adeniums and about 98% have sprouted and 30 plumeria seeds now that i think of it i have 2 BIG seed pods on my lemon chiffon plumeria and 1 big one on one of my adenium. i think i need to find a good buy on a great potting soil and per lite and builders sand. lets see who reads my posts those of you who have been in my co-ops before know i usually play lots of games and give away prizes. so i think i need something to cheer me up ( i am in the ER kidney stones!) so rules you have to have purchased in this co-op. only one guess per person prize will be posted tomorrow but it will be good.the game will end on September 27 at 1200 noon. i told all you that i ordered boxes of all sizes and kinds guess how many boxes i have ordered in the past month (hint i ordered 2 times) another hint tomorrow.

i cant wait to get these co-ops done

mike

so here is that plant i rinsed and drying




think i need to cut back also.
what do you think?
mike

OK here is my guess: 280 boxes,

Sorry for your kidney stones....

Perlite can usually be had in very large bags for about $ 12 at any nursery/landscaping supply place.
Pots - check landscapers doing a planting job, or post a wanted ads on Craigslist/freecycle. I haven't paid for pots in years.

Don't pot your plumeria up at this time. Let them be in their pots until early spring, then give them a much larger pot (15 gal is good if you have the space) and watch them take off.

Hetty
you are great i didn't think about Craigslist. yea about the potting thing i was talking to Will (my partner) and said the plumeria would benefit not to deserter then this late, pot them up in spring and they will double in size FAST. thanks for all the advice! hint 32 i have 9 boxes /packets of boxes! prize announced later today maybe another hint?
mike

Save those kidney stones.They can be used for gravel in your potting soil.

the way things are going im going to have to use them. hint : its more then i have ever ordered but less then 500
prize not sure yet sorry i will make it a good one

mike

Back in town, missed the question?

I missed it too and not sure what you are guessing but if it is how many boxes you have ordered I will say 241.
you may have to pose the question again

My guess is 475

Yes you are right i was in the hospital er at the time on lot of painkillers you got the question correct:

HOW MANY BOXES HAVE I ORDERED FOR THIS CO-OP AND MY AMARYLLIS CO-OP PUT TOGETHER CLOSEST GUESS WITH OUT GOING OVER!!!

i was babbling on an thought i would see how many where paying attention and could pick out the question. this is how i stated the question before.

lets see who reads my posts those of you who have been in my co-ops before know i usually play lots of games and give away prizes. so i think i need something to cheer me up ( i am in the ER kidney stones!) so rules you have to have purchased in this co-op. only one guess per person prize will be posted tomorrow but it will be good.the game will end on September 27 at 1200 noon. i told all you that i ordered boxes of all sizes and kinds guess how many boxes i have ordered in the past month (hint i ordered 2 times) another hint tomorrow.

so i will try to give another hint:::I ordered small,med,large flat rate boxes mailing tubes and regional boxes also.

the WINNER will be given a choice of 3 different things!!! I will announce them in time

good luck
mike

4-5 yo=8.98 +shipping and paypal fees
purple rose=7.93 = shipping and paypal fees
