Talk about timing!

This one was a fun contest...

Congrats Kenzie, once again! Nice guess!
I'll take more pics when the fingers are harvested.

Cheers!

AnnaJW · 06-15-2007, 03:26 AM

Wow!!! That's one big pup!
Kenzie - if you don't have room for it I can provide a spot.

Can't wait to see pics as it progresses!

Congraduations Kenzie.

Hello ya'll,

The plant has arrived. Just about jumped out of my skin when I saw the package leaning against the door.

Here is the box prior to unpacking:

Unwrapping the plant:

Unwrapped corm:

This is me getting advice on how deep to plant:

Here she is in her temporary housing. I need to find the best spot to plant:

Again, this is the greatest website. Will post pictures are the growth continues. Everyone have a great week.

momoese · 06-17-2007, 11:27 PM

Looks like you got some great planting advise! Hope it grows well for you!!

While digging that one out I noticed several new ones starting. We just might have to have another contest!

AnnaJW · 06-18-2007, 01:18 AM

Wow! She is a beauty!!! (And your gardening advisor is, too)

It's always nice to see the young ones take an interest in gardening.

Will be looking forward to seeing more pics. Hope you get lots of pups!!!

MediaHound · 06-18-2007, 03:48 AM

Your little helper is adorable!

Nice plant, too. Looks like it arrived in great shape.

SouthLATropical,
This ended a long time ago,

But the correct answer was 68.

JoeS475 · 08-27-2007, 03:47 PM

Any updated pics of how the pup is doing?

john_ny · 09-10-2007, 02:26 PM

I have some pups, about the size of the one in the pictures. I have a couple of questions about shipping something like this. Do you cut off most of the leaves? From what I can see, there were only 2 leaves remaining. How was it sent; FedEx, United Parcel, Post Office, etc.? If it was by mail, was it Priority Mail, or regular parcel post? How big was the package? (Post office and United Parcel have surcharges for oversize packages.) How much did it cost, and how long was it in transit?
I would appreciate it if anyone could provide answers to any of these questions.
Thanks
John

This pup was shipped via UPS but I couldn't tell you how much it cost because I used my clients UPS number. The box was close to 6 feet long, about 7-8 inches thick and the plant was shipped with all the leaves. The reason it only had a few leaves was because it's a large sword pup. Most people will cut the whole plant in half only shipping about 2 feet of the corm and stem. I only shipped it the way I did because it was a contest plant and I wanted it to show up looking like a plant! I am not sure how long it took to get there. You would have to ask the new owner.

john_ny · 09-10-2007, 02:57 PM

Thanks, Mitchell. I appreciate the quick reply.

saltydad · 09-10-2007, 05:24 PM
