Quote[/b] (Jason Wong @ May 04 2004,7:27)]Problem might be, if you order the more expensive variety (ie. P.laueana and I order the cheaper species (crimison red) and we trade, won't that be a little unfair on your behalf?

(Do you mind?)

Jason

havent tot abt the $ problem; if its a few$, its ok.
or perhaps we total up everything and divide it evenly or split the plants in a "biase" manner..
we'll deceide abt that when the oreder arrives

Was under florescent lights. P.agnata, cyclosecta and ehlersiae are do very well under the same conditions.</span></span>

Cindy:
Where have u been?? didnt c u for quite a while...
Anyway, can you kindly give us advice on what ping varieties to get(considering we are novices)?

 

[Jason Wong]

When? today?

Okay...change of plans

Do you have P.agnata, cyclosecta and ehlersiae? Maybe we can order and share...

 

[Cindy]

I've been a maid to my new home!

Anyway, I find p.xweser a tough one for our weather...yah yah, I know many of you have killed at least one, me too...but I haven't got any problem after I grew it on top of perlite. And all my plants are in my stuffy study room with its windows closed half the time!

p.ehlersiae is one of its parent so I bought it. p.moranensis is the other parent so I'll count that a good choice too. I'm quite pleased with p.cyclosecta and p.agnata. Soon they'll be exposed to the elements...when I shift place.

 

[Jason Wong]

Does your new home have a garden?

 

[Jason Wong]

Which of the three pings (P.agnata, cyclosecta and ehlersiae) are easiest to grow? Thinking about starting off easy...

 

[eBeyonder]

Ok guys, I've emailed BC with some uestions but they've not replied after some 4-5 days. Jason, did they reply to ur emails?

 

[guqin]

I just came back from Paris to find most of my plants dead! Sigh...

Thankfully, a ping under my mother's care flowered in my absence. Maybe I should get her to grow the plants...

 

[Cindy]

Jason: No garden...but hoping to turn balcony into a forest!

From the way they look, all three pings are growing well in the heat.

guqin: Poor thing. I'll be very upset if my plants die. Btw, how's romantic paris?

 

[guqin]

Well, if you are there to work, there isn't much of a romance to talk about!

Anyway, the last two weeks of April is great, with nice temperature and weather. However, the last week has been quite horrible. Hardly any sun, rain and strong winds. Thank goodness I am back, hopefully I can save some of them.

Been 6 days now, no luck with the emails. Maybe they didn't want to reply to demanding customers...

Oh well, guess we'll just have to go with what they've got...

Guqin, did you get to taste any french cusine? Lots of cheese there...

 

[vistary]

Could it be that they have closed down their business?
They havent updated their website since end 2003 - based on the "available in spring" tag
Any other online nurseries to order from?

 

[Jason Wong]

I myself was thinking that COULD be the case, however unlikely

 

[Jason Wong]

Another fact that leads me to believe that they've closed down is the fact that they've not replied to my emails for over a week now!

That could, hpwever, be due to crappy service (which I'm sure they're capable of)

(Or the fact that they've closed down for some unknown reason...should we try contacting other stores (don't know which yet) or do you guys want to wait to see if they reply in the next few days? Ebeyonder, have you sent off the order yet?

 

[Borneo]

Kamil Pasek and Jan Flisek are in Germany this week which could be the problem with delayed e-mails. I hadn't heard they had closed down.

 

[The Griffin]

That is a relief. I owe the money and wanted their postal address, and they had not been replying. I did not want to end up on their "black list".

[Jason Wong]

Phew!

Rob:
Thanks for the reply, glad to know that the nursery is still around.
We would have otherwise thought of sourcing for an alternative nursery.
