I'd like your pure Silkie chick if possible. I'd be willing to pay for it what I'll be selling my Silkie chicks for. I want one that color, and from my hatch I didn't get that color. Please tell me it's available!!!

Sure, I'll hold the silkie for you!

Interesting plants! Is that what you like to grow, mostly? Exotics? Very cool.

I'd like a lemon bottlebrush, please. I'd love a few more plants, but nothing looks cold-hardy for me in my zone and I can't bring them all inside! If there are any that you think are hardy to zone 5 I'd like those, too.

As for volunteering, I was thinking it would be really hard because I'll have my three year old with me, but I just remembered my brother will be with me now as well so I can put him in charge of my son while I do my job--whatever that might be. I'll take a look at the list tomorrow and let you know, Schultz duo.

I moved up from the deep south, so I miss some of the tropical and exotic plants I used to have! Some of them I can only get by growing by seed. A few of them are hardy to zone 6, but I don't think they would make it to zone 5. Some of my favorites are lemon bottlebrush because of the sented leaves and the tea camellia because you can use the leaves for tea.

I'll save you a lemon bottlebrush!

(I'm putting everyone's screen names on plants so they can easily see and pick up their plants.)

Hi birdsNbeesNseeds,
Just wanted you ans Lunawriter to know, there will be a cute little vintage honey dish on the raffle table along with a very detailed bee photo I took in the spring. I will take a picture later, off to the store richt now. But I also wanted to gey my name on the list for one of the bottlebrush trees, I know quite a few are spoken for and am not sure what is left. I would also like 1 Camellia sinensis 'Rosea' please if it is available.
Thanks!!

Can you grow that tea Camelia indoors all year? I'm thinking it would be nice to have inside, and possibly move outside only in the warmer part of summer. Considering it cause I have cats. I'd have to find a cat free zone where they couldn't eat the plant. It's why I haven't bought a dwarf pomengranate tree yet either. I have one cat that's so dumb she'll even eat fake plants.

And thank you for holding the Silkie, I'm excited about that one!

Sure will, you got the only violet bottlebrush I had available!

I was hoping I got it

They are all pretty, but that is my favorite!

I would also like a Rosemary, 1 Japonica, and 1 Gardenia, if possible. Thanks!

Great to hear about the dish, have you down for the tea camellia, which bottlebrush wouldyou like? Still have some of each except violet.

What about a Brahma rooster? Anyone got one of those they want to get rid of?

All I have is a Brahma/Silkie mixed cockerel. Sorry.

Hi chicken_china_mom,

I'll put you down for the tea camellia,

I'm putting them in pots inside for the year and putting them outside in the summer. At least if the cats eat them I don't think they should be poisonous. People use the leaves for tea. Of course, knocking them over constantly when they're small won't help them grow too much. Sometimes the chickens do that too.
