Welcome Belinda-TexasGardenMom!!
Your IN!

Premont, TX(Zone 9b)

rhizomes will rot if wrapped in wet paper towels , canna rhizomes should ship dry rhizomes with no leaves .....
besy way is to put each rhizomes in a brown paper bay write the name of the canna rhizomes on the outside of the bag ,pack and mail...
I used to collect cannas ....

West Bend, WI(Zone 5b)

emh is right. we should just use little brown paper bags for each individual rhizome.

thanks for pointing that out emh48

Donna in Douglas, GA(Zone 8b)

Now why didn't I know that!! lol!!
That's absolutely Right!
I'll make changes under shipping!

JanetS

Cordele, GA(Zone 8a)

Sounds like a good plan!

Deborah

Tis okay with me. The sooner the better - lol. I love getting boxes in the mail. (HeeHee) Mailman brings them up to the door - don't think he likes it, though. But hey, gives him a bit of exercise getting out of his little mail truck.

Northeast, NE(Zone 5a)

Ditto with me! Sounds Good! Oh Crystal,Good way to think of it!!YES the postman needs his exercise.Feel proud that you are helping him to live longer! LOL Nancy

Decatur, IL(Zone 5b)

gapeahen,

Sorry, I cant send out the 1st of Oct that is the first day of Bow season and I will be hunting that week. If you can get me the address a few days sooner I can send it then or the next week.


crystalnurse,
I like you like to get boxes and my mail lady too has to get out of her little truck and bring it to door. I live on a 5 lane hwy and my mail box is across the street. So I like it when she has to bring me a box......LOL

Beck

Donna in Douglas, GA(Zone 8b)

rwmedic,

I'll try to get names out between
Tuesday 26th - Friday 29th

Maybe you could send your box
before you go hunting!
Whatever works best for you will be ok!

Fort Worth, TX(Zone 8a)

It is a go for me, whenever you decide. Thanks

Decatur, IL(Zone 5b)

That is the problem hun from the 28 on we will be very busy getting thing ready. I can get the box already to mail then maybe I can just slip it in the mail....Yes that is what I will do when I dig them up I will just get the box ready so when you send the addy all I have to do is put it on the box. Hey we got it, it will all work.


Thanks
Beck

Donna in Douglas, GA(Zone 8b)

I have a question about the SECRET part of the ST.
When we send our package out do we include a return address and contact info?

justfurkids carol

Donna in Douglas, GA(Zone 8b)

A good question Carol,
Yes, By all means include your
return addy & DG name.
The secret is you do not know "WHO'S"
got your name until you rec your package!

When we'll all share what goodies we got on a new thread!

Decatur, IL(Zone 5b)

I am getting excited here. My Dad loves Canna's he will be so suprised when I bring him new ones. We dont get the variety here. Just plain Jane. This is the most exciting one we have. Well except Dads that are over 7' tall, but yellow.

I hope maybe there is some variegated leaves in the trade. I will probably be digging mine up in the next week or two. Just saw that the nites are going to get in the 40's.

I love pictures so the new thread will be very nice. Everybody please post. However I wont be able to post any pictures of the Canna's in bloom until Spring.

Donna in Douglas, GA(Zone 8b)

Great for the canna ID file! I try to keep a picture of all my Beauties - Plant scrapbook sort of!!

Decatur, IL(Zone 5b)
