Fred, I really like that you sent me extra seeds of what I bought. The gift seeds, not extras, were a treat. I am very excited to see the flowers from all these seeds!
I sell a lot of hostas and I always include a gift plant. I tell those who visit my gardens that I learned about gift plants from daylily vendors. Most people are uncomfortable with the idea of a gift added to a purchase.
My very first online order was from Maryott's in 2007 as a result of a search for spider daylilies. When my very small order arrived, there were twice as may fans because Bill sent me gift spider plants.
Bill and Marilyn are friends.
