Yellowthumb, for the life of me I can not find a orange flowering Michelia Champaca and I was hoping you could hook me up with a contact person or find me on?

I e-mailed you a few days ago and I have not gotten a response. I am guessing your e-mail on this forum is not good? Could you privately e-mail or write me here?

Thanks so much man! You are god:-)

Mike

    I replied your response right away. What's wrong with the system? I don't trust their system anymore.

    Here we go anyway.

    Contact Perry at Flora Exotica located at Montreal. He will set you up.

    Thanks agin Yellowthumb!

    I tried that place and e-mailed Perry. He never got back to me-(

    If there is anyway you could hook me up, it would mean a lot to me.
    I e-mailed you a while ago and I am not sure if you got it. Can you e-mail me about cost if there is one involved?
    If you can get a hold of perry, then I would really appreciate that too.

    Sure, I sent him an email.

    You can call him directly by phone. He is a bit slow responding his emails. Sometimes, the email goes to junk mail too.

    Yellowthumb! You are not kidding.

    I sent him a reply after he finally e-mailed me after you told him, and I have not heard from him still..lol

    Thanks for what you did though. I really appreciate your help.

    Hi Mike - if you have not heard from above contact, why not try Temple Garden Nursery in California. I was at that garden many years ago and they do have great selections of wonderful fragrant and exotic plants. I browsed through their on line catalog and did not see M.Champaka. Perhaps you can contact them? sales@templenursery.com Good luck.

    Thank you Chubite and Kasie.

    I looked at the Temple Garden Nursery and they only sell plants by the case. I didn't see any Champaca:-(

    Gardino is a good try. I will call them on Monday. Thanks so much.
    Hard to believe that a place like the one I have tried in Canada doesn't get back to me. I thought they wanted to make money.

    Hi Mike,

    I think Perry wants to order another batch from Thailand next spring. So you will have one.

    It's very hard to run a mail order nursery business with just one guy, there are so many emails, phone calls to deal with. And if you want to make for a living out of it, it's even harder.

    Be patient, and you will have it. By your skills, in no time, you will be loaded with flowers.
