I've been putting together a group buy (local pickup or spring plant swap delivery) for lilies... I have a pretty good order in to ADR plus one for Bert's TouchofNature sale
http://www.touchofnature.com/s... . By working with 2 vendors, we're getting a pretty wide selection of pretties!
And while it's not plants, I just got an order from Watersorb (polymer moisture crystals) that I'm splitting with some friends and sharing with family also. They were nice enough to give me an extra discount, so the medium size crystals (the size of the ones you find in stores under brand names like "soil moist") came to $5 per pound with shipping. Their prices on smaller amounts are also a really good deal compared to store prices (per pound generally works out to less than what I've seen marked on 8 or 12 oz. containers), and a little goes a really long way! I've "sold off" half of them, and hopefully I won't have to order any more for a long time! I do go through a lot of them, though, just as with potting mix... I like to order little plants (or propagate my plants from little divisions & cuttings) and then grow them on for a season or two so I have big plants for the garden.
