This is April Bingo :)

Hello all you AV folks! It's April Bingo time starting Sunday, April 1st and I'm not joking :) Because of my personal paranoia I'm going to paste a snip from the other thread so you know where I'm coming from:

I haven't seen any bugs on my plants even using a loupe but as we all know this doesn't guarantee the plant is 100% bug free. I am not the world's best isolater and I bring cut flowers in from my garden all summer. SO what I am saying is please understand the risk you may be taking by not isolating your winning plants. Also, you may want leaves instead of the starter plants which I will happily substitute (leaves being easier to clear of potential problems). If neither of these options feel safe enough for you, then you may want to sit this bingo out until there is a gift certificate bingo *warm smile, not snotty grimace*

On to the game. I propose an old fashioned (meaning last year) type of Bingo. I will list all the varieties I have to give, noting any info I have on them. (I have a lot of starter plants just ripe for shipping) You (meaning bingo player) pick your favorite 15 for your bingo card. If you win bingo, you win a box with all 15 of the plants and/or leaves you wanted. Cool, huh?

Winner pays all shipping and fees (I'm nice but kinda poor)!

This box is to keep track of the calls. I'll post them in the thread and put them on this list, too....Good Luck everybody!

Debbie

I couldn't sleep for some reason, so here I am looking already. I need to get a grip!!

Diane

You're not the only one looking and not sleeping, Diane! LOL

Lana

Good morning, Lana.

ok girls are you trying to get a head start.guess were all ready to play.good luck to everyone

I'm getting ready to watch a mare foal online http://www.moolahranch.com/camchat.htm Camera 1

I tried that link to watch the foal being born, but it did not work. Bummer! What a nice way to spend the hours you aren't sleeping.

Sorry, it was just born :~( A very pretty paint foal.

Lana

How cool. They do have beauties posted on their website.

Open, Open, Open.................:o)

hehehehehehehehe

I still haven't gone to bed! :~)

Lana

Girls, girls, when DO you sleep??? I coudn't stay awake if I had to!!! (LOL)

I went back to bed at 5 or so and slept well until just before 8. I have been doing that a lot lately--and I hate it. I just want to sleep like normal people do, whatever that is. Anyway.................on to a west coast person doing the calls...........hope she doesn't sleep late.........LOL

Well good morning everyone! Looks like everyone is ready to go LOL

Let's start off with Black Jewel and Optimara Asteroid... a couple of beauties. The Asteroid is in bloom so I'm going to post a picture of it after I find my missing USB cable....

Here we go!

And weeeeeeee're off!!!!!!

I'm not off to a good start. Have neither.

hip hip hooray!!! I have Optimara Asteroid

I have Black Jewel! I went to sleep about 8 and now I'm back!! LOL

Lana

Well, here is something weird. I went to search for a picture of my "optimara asteroid" and came up with nothing. There is an Ultra Violet Asteroid that does not look like my plant. I'm begging my husband to help me find that usb cable so I can show you a picture of the plant I have marked "optimara Asteroid". Sheesh....

I've got fibromyalgia and I get pretty spaced out at times so I never know what I will do next! LOL Take it from me, whatever this plant really is, it's lovely. Bi-color white with pink and a little ruffled edge. And it's an easy grower.

Black Jewel is a mini. It has pink, cream and green variagation on the leaves; the kind that is striking around the crown, turning full green on the mature leaves. I"ve forgotten what that kind of variagation is called. Anyone??

I just remembered to check the thread! Forgot today is April 1st .... HAPPY APRIL FOOL'S DAY ALL!

Yipee ... I'm off to a good start, I have O. Asteroid too!


Ooooh .... wish I had put Black Jewel on my list ... sounds soooo pretty!

I never could find a pic of O. Asteroid either, Jacki. Which is why I didn't pic it as one of my choices. I was tempted, with a name like that it had to be beautiful!

Lana

I didn't even look to see what they look like when I made my list!!!!! they all sound yummy to me...

i didn,t have either one

I was like Lana and couldn't find a picture, so took it back off my list. Oh well, I had Black Jewel and that's a good thing.

I totally forgot the game was starting today.Good thing I checked : ) Good Luck Everyone!!
Nancy

Hello everyone~

I found a picture of the plant I've known as Optimara Asteroid...Maybe someone with First Class Program can help solve the mystery?

But I gotta say, it's a beauty no matter what we call it :)

And here is a picture of one of my Black Jewel's...will it be yours???


We can all say thank you to my great husband, Kevin, for finding the usb cable for my camera!!

Crap! I should have put that one on my list for sure! I'm gonna go pout now!

Melissa

LOL Melissa : -o

P.S.Three Cheers To Kevin for finding the usb cable so we could see those beauties!!
Nancy

Thank You Kevin!

Love both of those AV's ... I have Asteroid on my card, but not Black Jewel and I WANT that one!!!!! Dang! Dang! Dang! Why didn't I put it on my card?!

Lin

Okay Melissa...since you made me laugh I decided we'd better do just one more call tonight. Hope you have it:
Rambling Lace

I really like the Black Jewel and that's the one on my list :~) Thanks, Kevin! And Jacki of course!!!

Lana

LOL!! You are a great group...very entertaining! I tried to take a picture of my little Rambling Lace plants but they came out rotten and I'm too tired to try again.
