Possible bulb sale?

I'm in the Summer doldrums so....I think I'll ask Phil if he'll consider running another bulb sale soon. Last time I was in the greenhouse it looked like he had waaaay too many pitcher plants

Stand by to see if I get clobbered by owner of PFT for even mentioning this

Seems it would be fun for everybody except our shipping dept. and customer service people

It has been soooo long since I have had decent mexican or even texmex food. You'd think that in this area there would be at least one place that could do it right.
 
Good 'ol Texas!

Texas my Texas, all hail the mighty state, Texas our Texas all ... Oh, forget it! Anyways, there are some payoffs for living in 118*F heat

Hey Lithopsman, if you're the driver, it doesn't matter if the passengers care....They can't MAKE you keep going, now can they? After all, you're driving THEM....Doesn't that entitle you to a little diversion, even at their cost?
wow.gif

Ok everybody, watch your emails in the next couple of weeks....I think maybe I talked Phil into doing something special for all of us...Maybe a sale!! He's working on a project right now (you'll see the changes soon) but after that we should hear some good news .

Lithopsman,
Can't believe you passed Willowbrook Mall and didn't call us!!
You could have come to visit.....we're only 20 minutes from there. Sorry we missed you.
sad.gif
And thanks for your offer to help....you just might get a call
wink.gif
 
I don't know if I'll be able to, just have to see if/when my dad is going on business trips to the Woodlands, so I'll keep you posted... May I please have your e-mail adress so I can contact you when I find out.

Ok, i give... what's a "bulb sale"?  I thought ya'll were talking about daffodils and tulips and stuff, but then somebody mentions sarrs...

I SOOOO miss decent Mexican food.  These New Englanders have NO IDEA what Tex/Mexi is supposed to be like.

PS D watches Grim pass out and collapse. "Grim! Grim! Wake up"

The "bulb" that is being referred to is actually the rhizome of the VFT and Sarracenia. Last bulb sale also included several types of sundews as well as a few other CPs.

I'm ready to make room for some new plants. Just say when PFT.

Hey Guys,

Just FYI, we're going to have a sale for the 4th of July. A REALLY BIG CLEARANCE.

3,000 sarracenia
1,500 flytraps of diff. varieties
lots of orchids
unique terrarium / vivarium plants
bromeliads

AND... I'm selling off some of my personal collection mostly nepenthes and drosera.

We're redoing everything around here and need lots of space.

BUT... before all that, I'm getting a new commerce system in place (replacing Oracle) and we're redoing the website to give it a cleaner look.

SO! Keep your eyes out and watch for the email I send out!

-Phil

Well, I can't say for sure, but I think this just went from a Bulb Sale to an Inventory Clearance sale...

So, to sell a vft bulb, you sell it with leaves attatched and healthy!

D. Muscipula... I remember when I went to visit my illinois in-laws a few years back. My family had such a craving for mexican food we were looking all over for it, couldn't find any that looked good.

A Few years ago when I got married and the entire family descended on San Antonio, we all went and reserved a party room at a local Tex/Mex landmark. We ordered huge heaping portions of Fajitas, big trays of enchiladas, Tamalies, Chalupas and Tacos...

My Yankee family was freaking. One of the little girls said "This isn't mexican food! Where's the Taco Bell?" so sad.

I will be pocketing some spare change myself!
