We'll wait for Lisa before I mark them SOLD OUT>

Sorry, but I have no cold storage here from where I ship the Lilies.

They go in the same box with Robin and Jill, right? If so, Robin will let you know what you owe her. OK?

Sounds good to me. Could you add 1 bag of either Gironde or Matrix? Need a splash of yellow in the garden.

FWIW, I don't think we'll be getting any other whites from Ednie (Yehudith wants 20 of the white orienpets and is sliding the remaining 5 to my order). So if anybody wants classic white, Casa Blanca is the one!

@Bert, I'll take one bag of Casa Blanca, please.

I understand about not having cold storage. Robin, I'll start your caladiums if you pot my lilies! :-)

Lisa, Robin and I figured we (and anybody else who ordered) would split the initial $8.95 shipping plus 10% of your total. We'll figure it out.

LOL Critter--sounds like a good deal! Thumbs up
Critter, if I send you the latest invoice from Bert, can you figure it out? I've never been good with numbers...

Sure, I'll work out the finance end of things.

Lisa, since you have the most bulbs in the box (so far), could I have Bert ship to you and ask you to pot the ones that Robin & I are getting? I think you can cram all 5 from a bag into a one gallon pot, as long as they have a little root room and can sprout up they should be fine.

Lisa, maybe you could take care of paying Bert, too. I'll deduct my share and Robin's from your total for the Ednie lilies. (Robin, you'd pay me for yours along with caladiums or whatnot). Let Bert know your email address so he can send you the latest invoice.

@dutchman , Lisa is now in charge of "the box!"

I know Catmint found it... but in case anybody else hasn't seen it yet, the Caladium group buy has been posted on this forum! Bill has COLOSSAL bulbs this year of many varieties; so far we're looking at a white ('Grey Ghost'), a red (probably 'Red Flash') and a pink (maybe 'Florida Elise' or 'Carolyn Wharton').

I was hoping lilies would arrive this week but haven't had a shipping confirmation yet... just sent a note off to Dave (our "guy" at Ednie).

When they arrive, I'll post to see who is available to help sort/pack them... or, if you could come over Friday the 6th (the day before the swap) to help sort bulbs or to help with other setup (pickup place signs, etc.), please let me know! Thanks.

I just got an email from B & D Lilies, as they have several varieties clearanced in 12-packs, 50% off. See http://www.bdlilies.com/specia... My thought is that we have plenty of lilies coming already, but if there's interest we'd have to move quickly. I think this is likely an annual sort of sale opportunity, with varieties and discount amounts varying year to year... so we could take advantage of a spring lily sale another year.

LILIES from Ednie arrive tomorrow!

Calla lilies DID get added. happy dance! Lisa, you're down for 15 of each, with a note that you'll take up to 22 of Captain V (I get 3-5).

I won't be able to sort them this weekend, but if anybody wants to pick up next week, LMK! For that matter, if anybody can pick up all of them Friday and sort them out for the swap, that would be fabulous.. and you could get yours into the ground this weekend. Smiling

I'll have the final invoice from Ednie tomorrow after our boxes ship. Looks like shipping plus $5 for packing will be either 8 or 10 cents per bulb, depending on how many crates we ended up filling.

I'll try to get invoices tree-mailed this weekend or early next week.

I know its late to request the bulbs but if there are any left I would like:
5 Carbonera lilies
5 red , 5 white, 5 pink caladiums

If none are left, that's okay too. Hilarious!

Frenchy, you're in luck... we have 5 or 10 left on most of the lily varieties, including 'Carbonera', so I'll put you down for them. $5 for 5, what a deal! :-)

I have a mix of mostly smaller caladiums available, a generous handful (about half a pound) for $3...

I might be able to shake loose 3 Caladiums... will check once I have planted Mom's containers. Smiling The colossal bulbs are equal to at least 3 regular caladium bulbs and are $3.25.
