Ok i dont want anyone to start freaking out!!! im just being honest about the numbers. I have added jills great order and adjusted patrob's order what i did id go threw and if it was 1/2 cs or less i put it up for possible cutting. BUT im still hopefully for a few more orders before we need to go to payment phase. so be still and keep the good conversation going I am 99% we can as a group cut and add to where we can even get some dahlias and if you know anything like this is a proven winner of claimants that makes a HUGE deal with me. NEW variety's are nice but proven winners are a great foundation to start with if someone relay has there heart set on one of something say something. like I really want large glads BUT if no one relay wants then i can get the ones somewhere else im not thrilled with the tinytot glads but you might be thats where we need to discuss these things. I know the white tiny tots that Robin told us bout will be ordered for sure.

now about my post last knight i talked to my supplier a few hrs ago about concern in vitality of all the products. she stated " you know our legal standing warren tee on the products" but we dont have hardly any one have to ask for any returns . they are at the mercy of there suppliers. and how well they grow the plants and us how well we take care of the product. she will be willing to work with us to some extent but if you get one plant and in 2 months you complain it dies its not the plants fault you need to treat them with TLC they are in shock they need to be slowly introduced in to there new loving family. these are dorm it and need to be treated as such.

so we all know what we are getting

One Year Old Dormant Clematis. 2 1/4" pots wrapped in plastic, staked and labeled with picture tag. Bagged in 10's.
Pruning instructions and hardiness information are also included.

so they are NOT bare root which will be better for the plant but they are in a small 2 1/4 in pot but we are not paying 4.95 or more.

will be on most all day to discuss everything


oh yea the heaters. I have been sold 40 hr and 72 hr heat packs for 2.00 per pack. if you are in a cold area and worry about the weather i can insulate the box with my own insulation(no charge) and place one of the heat packs in the box the should insure that no damage will come from the cold weather. I will only ship in early part of the week to insure you get before week end. and priority mail 2-3 day delivery.

But once it leaves my hands i cant guarantee if you leave on the porch for 2-3 days they will not die.

Looks like I was the only one that wanted Oriental Lily 'Brunello,' so please cancel that part of my order and add one Clematis 'Tie Dye.' Thanks.

Are the Tiny Tots available in a mixed collection? I'm ordering five each of five of the seven as it is, so I wouldn't mind simply ordering 25 mixed Tiny Tots.

From what I've seen of our weather here, I think I'd prefer to have one of those heat packs in my order. It stays cold here for a looooong time!

I'd really like to get some of those dahlias! Especially Uncle Hankie and Peaches and Cream. And, sigh, doesn't anyone else like purple?

COOL! (does that mean we might get some purple dahlias? Green Grin! )

Mike, I have been a staunch supporter/defender of gay rights for well over 40 years, long before I had friends who were gay. Gee, I guess that makes me a Liberal, huh? Hilarious!

I wonder if people know that Midnight Showers clematis is more commonly known as WARSAW NIKE. It is beautiful. I would love love to get this. Maybe others will order if they know it by the more popular name?

I'm not sure how to post a pic of it here...

Oh, I came across that, but didn't realize it was a more common name for that clematis! Maybe Mike could post us a nice picture of it here?

Hi, Maureen. I left many cherished friends in Dave's Garden and I really miss them (but not enough to go back to that hellhole). Green Grin! I'm glad they remember me fondly.
