04/24/05 20:12:37 sherry__(Mo): LOL
04/24/05 20:12:43 Denise: Well, I've paid my share of high prices on ebay, so I can't say too much about others that do the same.
04/24/05 20:12:43 Clare_Kansas: On the other hand, if you pay attention and don't overbid, the eBayers aren't any more than the other vendors.
04/24/05 20:13:14 Denise: I've never had a bad deal on ebay, and often times receive extra plants or leaves from the sellers.
04/24/05 20:13:37 Peggy_in_Pa: Denise that good to hear
04/24/05 20:13:42 Clare_Kansas: me, too.
04/24/05 20:13:53 millie_ca: I just got lyons new catalog and he raised his prices to $5.50
04/24/05 20:14:02 sherry__(Mo): I've gotten some that werre in terrible shape and too wet-from someone I thought whould know better!
04/24/05 20:14:15 Clare_Kansas: Actually, I have a pending order with a major vendor since Apr 11. And from eBay, my order from last week arrived two days later.
04/24/05 20:14:44 Denise: I guess that is why I like buying on ebay - everything arrives so quickly.
04/24/05 20:14:51 sherry__(Mo): It may be someone that was busy with convention Clare
04/24/05 20:15:02 millie_ca: I only have Pats new plants coming and may look around for some wranglers
04/24/05 20:15:34 Denise: I love the Wranglers, and Apaches, too.  can't seem to have one with out the other!

04/24/05 20:18:42 millie_ca: Gads if its not one thing its another
04/24/05 20:18:45 Peggy_in_Pa: Millie, have you named that baby yet?
04/24/05 20:18:55 sherry__(Mo): that's for sure!
04/24/05 20:19:29 millie_ca: Yes I have named her. I tryed a lot of names but kept coming back to Molly
04/24/05 20:19:41 sherry__(Mo): Ahhh
04/24/05 20:19:44 Denise: I don't think Deadly Sting and Pretty Poison are from a particular series, just the same hybridizer.  Is that what you meant?
04/24/05 20:20:03 Clare_Kansas: yes
04/24/05 20:20:16 Clare_Kansas: I wondered if there were more similar
04/24/05 20:20:38 Peggy_in_Pa: I think Molly fits her!!!!!!!!!!!
04/24/05 20:20:59 Denise: You like those frilly edges!  If you have the First class program, you can search for frilled blossoms and see what  you come up with on there.
04/24/05 20:21:07 millie_ca: Thanks Peggy it just sounds good and she has started coming to it.
04/24/05 20:21:16 Denise: Lyon's Pirate's Treasure is the first one that comes to mind for frilled blossoms
04/24/05 20:21:54 sherry__(Mo): That is a nice one Denise!

04/24/05 20:23:00 millie_ca: Marlene wanted to call her cuddles. I liked that also
04/24/05 20:23:01 Peggy_in_Pa: Millie do you have other dog, If so how do they like her
04/24/05 20:23:03 Denise: I end up calling the dogs by the kids name and vice versa all the time.  The dogs don't mind, but sometimes the kids do!
04/24/05 20:23:07 millie_ca: Hi Bob
04/24/05 20:23:20 Denise: HI Bob!
04/24/05 20:23:42 sherry__(Mo): Hi Bob
04/24/05 20:23:42 BobJ-MD: Hi Everyone, hope you all had a great weekend
04/24/05 20:24:09 millie_ca: My two year old yorkie loves her but the 18 year old could do without her but she sleeps all the time anyway
04/24/05 20:24:44 millie_ca: Peggy did you get to meet some of the vendors
04/24/05 20:25:17 millie_ca: The pictures look great of the violets but no group pictures yet
04/24/05 20:26:04 millie_ca: Bob how long have you been growing?
04/24/05 20:27:20 millie_ca: *harp*  *harp*
04/24/05 20:28:06 Denise: Millie, are you still doing the grow to show chats?
04/24/05 20:28:25 BobJ-MD: M.illie, I'm not sure. I went a long time before I finally got some good result' I'd guess less than 5 years.
04/24/05 20:28:57 millie_ca: Not every thur just once a month and take a break for summer as the shows are all over
04/24/05 20:30:03 millie_ca: I have two more show in May and will not have much left as they are blooming like crazy not and I am afraid will be spent by May
04/24/05 20:30:11 Denise: Yes, Bob. Sometimes "having violets" and  actually growing violets can be two different things.
04/24/05 20:30:19 Denise: I guess I have some and I grow some!!
04/24/05 20:30:57 Denise: I guess the weather warming up doesn't help, Millie.
04/24/05 20:31:03 millie_ca: I had a problem when I moved to this desert could not get leaves to produce. Finally figured it out but it took over a year
04/24/05 20:31:04 BobJ-MD: Definately, and the secret of success sometimes stays well hidden.
04/24/05 20:31:33 millie_ca: Yes Denise the warm weather makes them fade faster
04/24/05 20:32:28 Denise: One lady that I haven't seen on this chat for awhile lived in Arizona and started her leaves in water.
04/24/05 20:32:47 millie_ca: I am now going to work on my chamir'es to get them to sucker. I have been putting that off
04/24/05 20:33:21 BobJ-MD: Does anyone have suggestions on the best way to wash and sterilize mats and trays from the watering system/
04/24/05 20:33:21 millie_ca: I believe that was Amy Denise
04/24/05 20:33:39 Denise: I think that it was Amy.  She said it was the only thing that worked for her.
04/24/05 20:34:00 millie_ca: I use bleach Bob I bleach everything and have no bug problem
04/24/05 20:34:26 sherry__(Mo): I throw my mats in the washing machine Bob, and I throw my trays in the bathtub with soapy bleach water
04/24/05 20:34:34 millie_ca: I grow my leaves under domes that works well for me. Just can't get them to wet
04/24/05 20:34:46 sherry__(Mo): Same here Millie
04/24/05 20:35:15 Denise: I use trays with domes on them for the leaves, or if there are just a few, the clear containers from the bakery department (mini greenhouses).
04/24/05 20:35:40 millie_ca: I still have seven trays of leaves to seperate. I must have been out of my mind this winter
04/24/05 20:35:47 BobJ-MD: Thanks. I think it's about time to do it. How often should it be done?
04/24/05 20:36:10 millie_ca: Denise I use them also for mini's and for trailers
04/24/05 20:36:30 Denise: It's also a good excuse to buy cookies instead of baking them!
04/24/05 20:36:34 sherry__(Mo): I do it when I get a wild hair Bob-LOL
04/24/05 20:36:55 millie_ca: I do mine every 2 to 3 months. I can't stand them looking rattie.
04/24/05 20:37:12 Denise: Seven trays!  You are a major producer!
04/24/05 20:37:32 millie_ca: I keep to clubs in raffe plants
04/24/05 20:38:48 BobJ-MD: Mine get white ereas
04/24/05 20:39:17 BobJ-MD: OK Sherry, what's a "wild hair"
04/24/05 20:39:28 Denise: I separated mine earlier this year, but try to keep a leaf of every plant going, sort of an "insurance program", in case I lose the big plants.
04/24/05 20:40:09 sherry__(Mo): LOL Bob
04/24/05 20:40:45 sherry__(Mo): I don't blame you Denise-I ;ost some that I didn't have leaves down on-so I learned a lesson!
04/24/05 20:40:49 Denise: Have you ever propagated the bloomstalks of your chimeras, Millie?
04/24/05 20:40:50 millie_ca: Molly is awake I need to get her to the potty pad BB
04/24/05 20:41:09 Denise: I had to learn the hard way, too, Sherry.
04/24/05 20:41:12 millie_ca: I am trying that right now
04/24/05 20:42:50 Denise: I hope it works out better for you than it did for me.  I never had much success with it - finally resorted to whacking their heads off - the old fashioned way!
04/24/05 20:45:17 Clare_Kansas: I have to get to bed...
04/24/05 20:45:23 Denise: Clare, I've been thinking about some frilly edges for you - try to find Purple Lace, or Purple Passion if you can't get your hands on Deadly sting.
04/24/05 20:45:24 Clare_Kansas: talk to you all on Tuesday :)
04/24/05 20:45:34 Clare_Kansas: Thanks, Denise.
