    neonposey, your not in trouble. Go visit and I'm sure you will enjoy talking about all the different varieties. You can see them first hand and check out how these are grown.
    If you go report back to us!

    So who is it? What's his ebay name? Maybe you and I could go visit him together when I'm up your way next time!! Do you know if he allows visitors? Need more info here Neonposey....

    If its Eddiewayne he has some nice brugs.

  • 18 years ago

    Yep. Its Eddiedewayne. We've chatted a little by mail. He's already been very helpful in letting me know which ones are hardy around here so I'm thrilled to get to pick his brain since I'm so new at growing brugs. I'm not going to buy any thing else until I can get them outside... I've lost more cuttings than I have left and I grieve over every lost one. LOL. I'm hoping I can arrange a visit in March. Wildflower - your cuttings (logs) are doing just fine and I haven't lost any of them, although I did share one of each with a friend. Be sure and hollar at me when ya'll come this way and hopefully Eddie will let us come visit. WhoooHoooo! Gotta start saving my pennies..but just think... if I don't have to pay postage, I can get more plants!! I'm thrilled to have found a local brug friend.

    Aren't you the lucky one. He's one of my favorite sellers.

    Yes, mine too. I got a great Variegated Jamie from him.

    I've ordered from him & got good plants. I plan on doing business with him again in the future. You're lucky to live so close.

    I'm jealous! I've received things from him also. Good stuff!

    Ohhhhhhh - hide the checkbook! I'd love to visit his place and see what he grows!

    I get up to Raleigh area once or twice a year- are you living near there or are you in the western part of the state?

    He's good seller. OK. Get me a plane ticket, map directions and an increase in credit line on Visa!!! Holy Moley I would be in sooo much Trouble if I lived near this place ... OK, everyone. We need a plan, here ... Must be some way we can make it easier for us to buy Good Brugs!!! LMAO!!! Gloria

    Brenda: I'm about 2 hours northwest of Raleigh. Its not a bad drive from Raleigh to Winston-Salem (where the brugs are). Maybe I could meet you somewhere and we could go together.

    He said yesterday that hes always interested in getting new ones from overseas, so I imagine his collection will just keep getting better and better. He has a greenhouse, Right now thats about all I know except for his ebay offerings look awesome. I can't wait to go visit. I hope I can hold out til march because I know I'm gonna go nuts and I don't want to risk losing whatever I buy by not being able to get them outside right away. And you know, wildflower has a point - I haven't even asked him yet if he allows visitors, but I got the impression that it wouldn't be a problem. He's been very nice.

    I'll be happy to take a shopping list with me from all of y'all and if he has what you want available, I'll grab it for you. I'm so excited! Comeon SPRING!

    I'm such an IDIOT - I just bid on his Sunsport. What the heck am I DOING?!?!?

    Just couldn't help it. What a cool looking plant with variegations from chartreuse through several shades of green.

    Boy if I win - I'll need to get in touch with him and ask him to use a heat pack or ask him to ship it to someone else for the time being.

    Funny part is - I don't even know what color the BLOOMS are - I just liked the foliage so much. (grin)

    Dweeb, I have a Sunsport you can have if you don't get it.

    Napdog - How do you like it?

    Is it as interesting as it look in that picture?

  • 18 years ago

    Napdog - what color blooms? And dweeb, I imagine he'll do whatever you need him to do to get the plant to you safely. Of course, if you need a baby sitter....... ;)

  • 18 years ago

    Neon - I may because the last few that came to me from another vendor don't look like they're going to make it at all.

    I've never seen this "sunsport" before - pretty and unusual foliage.

  • 18 years ago

    Now I know who he is... I'd bid on a Jamie he had a while back. Didn't win it and I'd still like to have that one. Had forgotten all about it until now!! Neon, I will give you as much advance notice as possible when I'm coming to W-S again.

  • 18 years ago

    I have one of his Jamies. It doing well but the mites got it so its losing its leaves. I had it all by itself in the bedroom too. Can't figure out how they got to it.
