Networking is good! I stopped at SouthLaTropical's place in Fordoche yesterday and left with enough cool plants to start a roadside nursery.
He had several plants that I've had on the wish-list for a while.
I'll be back in a few weeks to bring some plants.

So get out there, and visit when you can. I hope to see everyone at one of the meet-ups or another!

Hope everything made the trip OK. Did the tarp hold up?
I was looking at your list and realized that you had another banana I have been looking for. Musa coccinea

Thats cool!
Nice Pete, I really have to make an excuse to get down that way. In addition to gaining weight I'd come home broke. Visiting New Orleans would do that anyway:ha: Your yard must look like the jungle gardens at Avery Island.

Got em'. I'll bring some along.

I thought you guys were required by law to have at least a few! Don't forget to shell out your money for a wooden dowel with the end painted red to check for ripeness...........and no I didn't.

Nice haul!!! I've got Isaac's plants growing great guns in my yard too but via the postal service... in fact seeds from some of his cannas are growing over in England now. I think that is so cool!

A shampoo Ginger, a variegated shampoo ginger, a big ol' Stuttgart canna, a Canary Island Date Palm, a CLUMP of stripey bamboo, a MAT of DC, a Red Iholene, and I had to stop at those because my truck was full between inventory from work and all these plants. :bananas_b

Lordy Pete,
that was a big score. You gotta love it when you find unique plants and items that you don't normally run across.

Nice, Pete! Nice of Isaac to share with you as well. Now you need to network your a#s on down to Houston!
