When I came back this afternoon a big surprise waited for me at the door. It was a big package. I had no idea who send it until I open it up. Inside was lots of BIG brugs cutting and lots and lots of seeds. WOW !! It was more than I ever expected to receive. Thank you so much SS. You are awesome !!
I hope I can take some pics tomorrow and post them.
Are you curious who my SS was?

Everything worked out for me since I am leaving Tuesday.

This is the package, as tall as my chair

These are the cuttings and the seeds.

The cuttings and my babies. The cuttings are so huge between 14-16 in I assume.

Eloise guessed!! My Secret Santa was Eddie and...I was his !!!

The funny thing is that I was out to do my SS duty and buy food to donated in Eddie's name and when I came back home the package my SS Eddie sent was at the door. What about this? Coincidence or what?

Eddie, I want to thank you one more time. You made me happy two times yesterday. First when I went to buy the food and donate it. Yes, I donate more than you asked but was such a wonderful wish that I wanted to be indeed Santa Claus and make more people happy. Second was when I received my package with all this wonderful cuttings and seeds.
You are such a selfless guy and an inspiration to us all.

Pat

Wow, what a great SS box Pat, and what a coincidence that Eddie would also be your SS person -- now it makes sense to me as to why you were donating on behalf of Eddie. Great job you two!

looks like you are not the only one who loves the new cuttings lol

Caren I would say the 1st couple for this years SS was a super start.

Is the rest having fun putting your boxes together?

Lucy

What a great SS eddie was for you...I really didn't "mean" for you to be each others SS...It was the luck of the draw..LOL

Can't wait to see others SS packages...What fun!!

I had 3 parakeets but one (the mother)died 1 month ago. Now I have the father(yellow) and his daughter who is almost 3 month old. I have an Amazon Parrot too.

Thanks for organizing SS. It was fun.

Did the Pork & Beans Sedum arrive safely? How about the Shrimp plant? I remember mine was very easy to root when I first got it. My plant in the ground roots wherever the stems touch the ground. The Aloe should produce tons of little pups. They form dense colonies and look great in pots.
