Sandra - someone will have to lay out the ground rules of plant selection to get this thing rolling - someone has to be a leader in the project - (honk, honk) - after reading what everyone has to say thus far why don't you start narrowing down some of the options - you will never make 100% of the members happy - though this is obviously our goal!
Jerry replied correctly in another thread - if we purchase from Oak Hill we WILL get the wholesale price, but we will also pay teh $12.50 minimum shipping fee. My guess (?) is that this will also be the price for anyone who might want to purchase several since it is touted as a "minimum"? Using Jerry as a source of plants would be less cost if we can find the quality and size of plants the majority of members are interested in - most of us definately want something that can potentially bloom in a year or less.
I concur with Connie's note - one thead only while this is being determined - PLEASE.
