Re: A Visit to Jimmmy's
I would LOVE to know what type of elephant ear that is in the last photo with the beautiful white flowers ... any possibility of finding out?
Glad to hear that you had a nice visit and came home with some goodies! Annie |

Re: A Visit to Jimmmy's
Annie and Ray, I have PM'd Jimmmy and asked him the name of the EE. I will post when he replies.
Greg I got Eban Musak:  A couple of Raja Puri:  A couple of dwarf Red Greens:  This one had lost it's ID tag, but it was so beautiful I got it also:  And a Gran Nain (it doesn't look so good right now and I haven't taken a shot of it). ~J

Re: A Visit to Jimmmy's
Jimmmy is a member here so it is easy to get in contact with him. Go to "Classifieds" and click onto one of Jimmmy's closed ads. You can PM him there and see more information in the body of his ad.
You're welcome Annie! I forgot Greg, I also bought a Double Mahoi with a little baby pup on it!   ~JaNan

Re: A Visit to Jimmmy's
OK, so sorry if I'm being dense here. I would like to contact Jimmy about the Thailand Giant elephant ears you'd mentioned he had. When I went to the Classifieds section, as mentioned, I did not see any with the name "Jimmmy" associated with them. Does he use another name? Again, sorry for being a problem child.
Thanks in advance for any assistance. Have a great holiday weekend! Annie |

Re: A Visit to Jimmmy's
He has an ad on page 30 of the "closed ads". Let me try to get a link for you:
[Sale] BANANA TREES AND MORE - Bananas.org No, he sells under Jimmmy with three M's. That worked when I tested it. You have a great holiday weekend too, Annie! ~JaNan

Re: A Visit to Jimmmy's
Thank you JaNan ... and for such a quick response as well. I THOUGHT I had put in all three "m's" in my search in the classifieds, but maybe I didn't actually type with my hands what my head was thinking. Thank you very much for your assistance and I sent him an e-mail.
Much appreciated, Annie |
