I was one of the first 300 contributors to the plant database!
Tee...your pics are gorgeous! I bought some creeping phlox yesterday at Walmart. I've never been a dumpster driver at stores, but let me tell you what happened to me at Walmart. A lady started cleaning up plants that looked a little sick (needed water) and then she placed the ceramic planters they were in on a cart and told the checker to give them away to people that were buying gardening items. Naturally, I had a cart full of plants already, so the guy told me to get all the pots I wanted. I didn't want to look like a pig, but I did get 6 of the pots. Then as I'm leaving, the lady was dumping plants into a garbage bag. I ask if I could have some of them. She said to take all I wanted. I ended up with 6 - 3" containers of Kalanchoe blossfeldiana 'Flaming Katie' and two begonia's 6" pots (not sure what color). I gave the begonia's to my daughter. I had already bought a large Kalanchoe for her, so I kept the small ones. So, from now on, I many be checking their dumpsters... Rolling on the floor laughing Hilarious! They don't water the plants like they should, so if they wilt, they throw them away. Dumpster time for me...I'm not too proud that I can't look for a sad little plant to nurture. Thumbs up
