I got my tickets today, have you gotten yours yet? It only takes 1 to win and you can't win if you don't play.

If you haven't got any tickets yet get to snapping those photos and start earning some acorns. Our database needs your input like you need a ticket. Thumbs up

I think that it will be the last one this year. If you had an October raffle prizes would be going out in shipments in late October into November. Not a good idea in a lot of the country.
I guess any prize involving live plant material could be held over to the spring. But honestly Dave organized 6 raffles I think, April-September, it may be a good time for him to rest on his laurels!!! Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!

October was the last one last year.
Oh, and I just noticed that Dave posted this as "The penultimate raffle of the year", meaning "The second to the last raffle of the year".

Please remember that if you post more than one photo of a particular plant's bloom you only get one acorn. It's kinda in the fine print.

But I could be wrong. (Surprisingly, it has happened.)

From 1 plant you can get multiple acorns you just need photos of different parts of the plant. For a photo of the bloom you get 1 acorn, for a photo of the leaves you get 1, for the seeds you get 1, for the whole plant you get 1, ect.
