Plant show

Posted by: spathy, 1:08 AM GMT on September 26, 2010

Ya know when you love plants,you have a good eye for the best,and you visit a show like this (for work).
It is quite maddening when you know your clientele cant or wont buy most of the best specimens.
Not to mention even the least expensive stuff wholesale is out of reach for me.
Dont get me wrong.
I can sell this stuff and people ask for it.
The problem is they ask for it one at a time.
One or two of these beauties I cant do.
Shipping quadruples the price of one.
You want 20 of anything you see here.
No problem!
Done and done and cheap.
In and out,
in your yard next week!
Chicken and egg thing here.
Oh well enjoy the view and salivate like I do.
Here is the show.

He ravaged his mothers house to set up this booth.

Adeniun
AKA Desert Rose.
Plants from cuttings have a thin uninteresting root base.
Plants from seeds have HIPS!
If you want to see really cool ones? Look up the ones from Thailand.
