Thank you MaryMary Purple shamrock is a wonderful plant. Do you grow it too?

@claudine, earlier in this thread, (posts #49-54,) Esther and I were discussing the possibility of my going to PA to get a bit of her purple shamrock!! But even though we live in neighboring states, she is still about a 9 hour drive from me.

given mine getting so packed, I will have to thin it down, any takers? that are local, in America.

And there you go again, Esther!! Teasing me with promises of plants!! You know I want one, you... you...you devil, you!

But...my mother had a friend in Indiana that sent her a cutting from her Christmas cactus. Just to show her the color of the flower. Mom rooted it, and it grew. Maybe if you wrapped it in one of those "bubble wrap envelopes," it might survive the trip through the mail.

If you are serious, I'd be overjoyed to PM you my address!!



Purple shamrock... I'll get you yet, my little pretty!!

@MaryMary go ahead send me your address. will wrap them in damp newspaper and a card board box, they should be ok. do you want some black lilly seeds also? Oh, forget it will send them along also. when you look them up you will want them.

{{{ Esther!! }}} Yay!!!

Sending PM immediately!!!


Update: @claudine, I will be growing them!!

@Esther Knapicius , You seem to have blocked me, or maybe everyone in general. I think you have to change your "Contact details" or maybe your privacy setting.

Not sure what happened. Maybe I did not release something I was suppose to release. Or maybe when I tried to stop the emails from coming to me every time there was an alert here I I also blocked this. OK will go in and try to figure it out.

 

[Esther Knapicius]

ok, I think I checked the right box.

 

[MaryMary]

PM sent!

 

[claudine]

That's wonderful!!! I'm sure it will survive the trip through the mail. And it's a gorgeous plant, growing it is a pure pleasure

Wow that's a big one!

For anyone who has a Wegmans grocery store they have a lot of shamrocks right now. Mostly green but they do have some purple! I picked one up. I had a nice one before moving to the states 7 years ago which had to be left behind. This was the first time I've had the chance to purchase a purple one since. I was super excited!
