So many tempting plants!

Brad AKA Moonwolf

Got yours and Carolynn's emails and responded!

Yaay group order! Aurorawra I'm emailing you from New email address same as the old but a number change. Please delete the old one.

Ok. No email yet received from you, but I will keep an eye out!

Do we pay our share through pay pal? Also how soon would the plants arrive?

The plants usually arrive within a week or two of me placing the order (up to a week for AH to get the order ready, then an additional 3-7 days shipping time).

You pay me through paypal and I forward the money to AH. I provide the import permit, so don't worry about that.

If you need referrals, to ensure that I am not a scam artist and that you will actually receive your plants, I have done several group orders with AH before, and a few gardenweb members have participated.

They will arrive to me, I will check them for issues, refund for any deaths (no shipping refund), water them, let them recover for a day or two, then ship them to their respectful new owners.

Shipping will be split evenly UNLESS someone orders only 2 or 3, while everyone else orders 8. I will have AH weigh and calculate shipping for smaller orders, to be fair. Phyto (only $17) is split evenly.

Yes, you pay through PayPal (keeps things safe and secure).

I'll also be doing a spring order through AH and Epiphytica, so if you cannot afford it now, or what you want is not available at the moment, keep that in mind!

That will awesome! I kept adding up everything and it would better for me in the spring,Thank you aurorawa.

No problem!

Oh my. I just saw this post. I placed a pricey order with iyares on eBay last night and forgot all about phyto certificates. Do I need to hurry up and get one so my amazing hoyas won't be turned away at the border? Or, if I ordered through eBay, is that taken care of somehow?

I might need some babying as I start rebuilding my collection. Thanks, all!

when is the last day to send you order details? is it already too late?

Les, iyares SHOULD send them with a phyto. I'd email and ask.

amaranthineglow: It is not too late...I don't have a real deadline, just waiting to hear back from 3 people with their lists, then I will place the order

All is well: they send a phyto certificate with every order. Now they need to arrive healthy and then I need to keep them happy with my less-than-expert hoya knowledge. No sweat...!

OK...deadline for Group Order is NEXT WEDNESDAY, September 6th!

I am SO SORRY, forgot to add to please indicate what size plants you want! There is a charge for larger plants, BUT AH sends HUGE plants, for size listed. In the States, AH's large plants would be considered fully mature, specimen sized plants, many times already having peduncles (cannot guarantee peduncles will survive the trip, though).

Standard listed size is fine by me

Ok. Have emailed all in group, regarding availability! Please check your emails and confirm (or ask for an alternative, should what you want not be available)!

Hopefully, I will have a shipping quote within the next couple of days!

Can i add just one hoya on behalf of someone else? On my last order i got a bella albomarginata for a lady in colorado but the poor thing died. AH is reserving another one. Can this one hoya be included in the group order?

Let me confirm with AH first, to see if the reserved one is available.

AH did find the bella albo(he is replacing the dead plant at no charge.).

If you dont mind (im being really annoying and late to the party.) I would like to add a large coranaria red, a small joy splash, and a small inflata. He has all of them i stock. I told him i wanted to include them in your order.

Aha, confusion solved! Never received an email on Tuesday :-(

Just for fun I went on the AH website to read about them. They said that they are located near the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. I googled this market. It is so cool! We need to take a field trip! If you have time, google this floating market. Then to top it off, last night I bumped into a former student who is leaving in two weeks to teach English in Thailand. I got to share my new knowledge with her....... It all started with one little hoya cutting that I received from a friend.....

Isn't that market absolutely charming?

The hubby is going to Guam for work next Summer and I will be going with him, but then flying West and then South (visiting Philippines and Indonesia)!

Have fun! :)
