Bought a Red Iochroma plus

17 years ago

I didn't want to do another OT post so by adding Iochroma, I'm still in the brug family, LOL! Went to a plant sale in Descanso Gardens and this is what I got: red Iochroma, Saucer Magnolia, Continus (smoke tree), Fuchsia 'Nancy Lou' (pix not showing the top) and 'Pinto de Blue,' Colocasias 'taro' and 'Illustris,' bearded iris fans 'Martini Mist' and 'Point in Time,' and the canna below that didn't have a name but resembles 'Tropicanna'!

Good score el :)

I'm sorry the red iochroma I send you for the SS didn't make it :(

We stopped by a plant supplier on the way back from fixing my daughters car last weekend, and bought some heucheras for 99cents each!!!...They were awesome!!...I'm still kicking myself for not buying SOO many more...Also got a couple nice sized perennials for 89cents.

I still have 3 plant orders coming, them I'm going shopping for plants that their flowers will work from my daughters wedding in 2010...Will help save money that way so we don't have to order as many...lol

Thanks all. I was happy with my buys although the plants they had for 50-$1. were not the ones I wanted, LOL! I paid $4 and $6 for these, but the taro which is in a 3-gal. pot was $3!

Elizabeth and Theresa, sending you an email.

Daniella, I have been wanting a magnolia, but was too cheap to buy one at the nursery, LOL! Then, when I would find a good buy, they were the ones that grow huge and are white which I didn't want.

Lucy, you were good in only getting the soil. I am sure next time, you will make up for that control, LOL!

Caren, I kept the cutting of your red Iochroma for a while hoping it would sprout, but finally had to discard it :-(

Thanks Linda, I just love shopping for plants! Sometimes, I think that I should have gotten a job as a buyer of plants. That might have satisfied that craving, or not, LOL!

Kylie, they had purple and red Iochromas, so I hope the red I got will be firey red! I potted up the one I got from you and it is doing well under a bit of shade until it gets used to our climate.
