That doesn't seem like a very good exchange rate, Bob Blinking

The original price was $26 for one. He paid $3.50 for each one he purchased. It's the new math.... Whistling

I wondered how long it would take for someone to catch the wording on that. Whistling I understood his math wording but got a kick seeing you guys think he paid more. Although even $26 for 3 would still have been a good price. Hilarious!

That wording/math definitely flew right past me. That's a lot cheaper then! Holy geez. 26 for three is really good here! 3.50 a piece?! I would have ended up with all of them!

Sorry about the confusion. But yes I would have been happy even if they were 3 for 26. They were making room for all the Mums coming in and these were out of flower, so I guess time to go since they take a lot of room on the shelves. I would have bought more if I had more room for them. 2 of them are called Perfect Storm which I have been wanting, the other one was missing its tag.

Garden Centers here are in sell off mode now.
Indulged!--- as Itohs were 75% off, and this is the only time that I can afford them.
Several perennials too, and then some shrubs too.
The Itohs will take several years to flower, as I think they originate as test tube plants.
And they had fall bulbs too!

My 'rescued' flowers. These guys were nearly 75% off! Although the greenhouse I go to takes very good care of their plants... no matter how late in the season they are.
Lord please let this seed not be a weed!

If they had seeds I would be glade to send some, but no seeds on these the flowers heads just fall off with no seed pods. When I went back they had a Lord Baltimore or 10 dollars, since I got such a good deal on the others I took it.
