Lilies, water plants and containers must go!
« on: June 10, 2011, 06:12:42 PM »
The good news we are going to contract on my PA house.  The bad news is the new owners don't want the ponds.  I find it hard to let my collection go on a trash heap so those of you in the tristate area shoot me a pm and we can set up a time to meet to get what you want.  Clearly I have already taken what I want to VA, but there are a lot of varieties  of lilies: Colorado, Sunny Pink, Crimson Red, Mayla, Peaches and Cream, Georgia Peach, Yellow Comanche, Wow, Almost Black, James Brydon, Perry's Baby Red, Hermine, Hevola, Masinello, Little Sue,  Perry's Fire Opal, Red Spider, Texas Dawn, Dallas, and others that I can't remember.   Lots of Eloda, Water Celery, Variegated Water bamboo, Corkscrew, Water Hibiscuss, LA Iris (Brazo Gold, Gamecock and Knockout).  Also lots of comets and fancy tails.

While I would like to ship, this is a once in a lifetime pick up and go offer only, i.e. I'm too pooped to do anymore!

To bad that you don't have time to pack and ship, then you could have just sent all the water lilies to me.   ;D
Happy ponding,

If you think that your question is dumb, imagine how totally stupid you will look if you don't ask it.

Annette:

Don't let Jerry scare you its only 3 days back and forth...straight driving though.  With Jerry, Mikey and Mike it shouldn't be too bad.   lol Maybe we could have West coast party out in Chadds Ford.

Jessica thanks for the suggestion, I will have to give Tim a call.  My other approach was to go to local dealers and swap out for things I need.

Lucky people that are able to come get your plants  O0  You may want to try Craigslist.  Good luck with the move.

There is never enough room for all of the water lilies that I want ;-)

Longwood has been on my list for a long, long time but not in the cards for this year though...I wish!

Gary,

Glad to hear the house is sold! Would love to get out and pick up some lilies too. Visiting Longwood Gardens is still on my list but just a bit far for now. Hope the rest of the move goes well and you can put your feet up for the rest of the summer. My best to your lovely wife and daughter.
