Definitely easy to find in this area. Have to go buy batteries and stock up on cat food (just in case of Matthew) so I will pick some up today. Do you just sprinkle it on the surface, or will I need to work it in?

Sprinkle it on the surface where the little buggers are. They also eat healthy, tender plant roots. They come to the surface when the soil gets too wet for them to breathe in it otherwise you would not see many and not think you have a problem.

A thank you from me too!

Everyone who listed what they wanted, please go to the first post to see your names next to what you got (and what's still available). Let me know if you're still interested in them, because I'm going to assemble the boxes today. If my count is off and there are more (or less) I'll let you know. I've got a busy week ahead of me, so I have to get these packed up today.

I'm definitely still interested in what I requested and would love it as soon as possible if you indeed could send it out today. Send me an invoice for the shipping and I'll settle up now.

If there's time and A lady in purple in existence I'll add that. If not, I'm good with what's in the box already.

Gimme it and I'll grow it!

Looks like Daniel now has dibs on the remaining Looky Loo now that it is not on Greg's list anymore. I'm good with what I'd requested, with or without Looky Loo. Please let me know what I owe you. Thanks and much appreciated!

Greg didn't drop Looky Loo, that was my mistake for leaving it off.

I forgot to list the NoID luminata. I think it might be Fancy Woman.

There's around 8-10 rhizomes of it. Anyone want some in their box? It's a great grower and once established, it puts on a great show that lasts a long time.

Gabe, if there is Lady in Purple left, I'll add it to your box. Liz, I wont have time to make it to the post office today. I have to run soon and I'll be back later to list any others that are still available.

edited to add:
Found last years clump shot of the above NoID. This photo is more true to its color.

I did some testing on it and after some failed matches, I found one seemed like a perfect match. They had the same height, same bloom time and the torn apart blooms matched. The only problem is, I didn't record which bloom matched it.
