CB, I had a wonderful day, we did what I wanted to do. We spread mulch at the coast. What is so great about being born in April, is being able to order plants for my birthday. I ordered brugmansia, and iochroma plants. I can hardly wait to get them in the ground. Check out Kartz Greenhouse and see the new iochroma plants they have listed. I am getting 3 of them. I told him to suprise me, since I could not make up my mind. Barbra

Happy birthday Barbara.

Dear Barbra, Sounds like you had a wonderful birthday at the coast, and ordering plants! Continue celebrating, and here's my b.d. wish:

Happy belated birthday Barbera~

Ordering plants for your birthday is a gardener's delight! Hope you had a great birthday!!

Happy Birthday, Barbra. Glad you had a great birthday and you're getting more plants too!

I am so excited, today is the day that my plants should come. I received an email from Mark, he mailed them Monday. I keep running to the door everytime the dogs bark. Barbra

Well I just got the packages. The door bell rang, I was right there, he was gone. When I saw the boxes I knew why he ran so fast. Mark sent such great plants, he had them packed so secure, and you can tell they had alot of leaves. The Postal service destroyed one box. New Orleans Lady and Daydreams are fine, but the other box was totally smashed, someone had ripped open the middle of the box and there was no support, the plants looked like they were ran over. Little do they know the base of the plants are in great shape, thanks to Mark's packing, I just had to cut off the smashed stems, they will grow in no time. I am telling you I bet that guy was running when I answered the door. Thank you Mark for sending such great healthy thick plants, I will have no trouble getting them to grow. Thanks again, Barbra.

Dang, sorry I spelled your name wrong again. Don't know why that spelling is stuck in my head. Glad your new plants are going to be ok. I have never had any plants themselves damaged that I can remember but have gotten crushed boxes many times. Looked like they sat on them, lol.
