Waiting In Line for doors to open. We got there just before 9am and quietly worked out our table strategy, fake bird calls, hand signals, code words, etc. Jokes of course. We didn't need those; B and I had two way encrypted radios set to VOX. :)

    That is so great.

    I second the request on the types you got.

    I wish the PSA would have a sale in Dallas. 3.5 hour drive is much easier for me than 8 to houston.

    Kenny and I are building our stock and going to start our own PSA chapter Oklahoma edition. Might just be the 2 of use selling stuff to each other but we will make it happen, LOL.

    Those were great photos. I especially enjoyed the labeled flowers on the tables. I have several varieties you showed that haven't bloomed yet for me. Your photos gave me great incite to what they will look like. I attended this sale last year and really enjoyed it.

    I forgot the pic of my goodies. Kimo & Ryann Chelsea (from George), Katie (from Barbara R), Raspberry Sundae (from John), Elizabeth Thornton Rainbow (from German), JL Haleakala for Kenny in OKC (from Mark). Also of note Sven's table (table C) was left off the plant list. He may have some bargains left to sell.

    K,

    Can't thank you enough for picking up JL Haleakala for me. Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun there. So many cultivars to choose from. It's probably best for my wallet if I don't attend both PSA sale events in the same year :)

    Awe... that look like fun! You guys make a great team! It's so much more fun going with a fellow addict huh?

    Going w/ the family was a little hectic last year for me. I kept losing my baby girl! Then at the end they went to load the van and I was still inside looking one last time and I lost them all! No idea where DH parked, so I sat at the step waiting for them to come find me. LOL.

    If I go this year I need to find a partner. :) Anyway congrats on your haul! Everything look so healthy!

    Lynn, if you go be sure that you and your partner wear bright colored clothes. It makes it a lot easier to spot each other in a crowd. Also the first picture K posted shows people standing in line, Check out the lady with the blue and white ice chest. She used it as her cart, it had a long handle, she just pulled it along, filling it with plumeria. What a great idea! Barbra

    Thanks for posting pics! We can shop vicariously through you!

    I especially appreciate the photos of the named flowers on the tables. Craning my neck to read the labels. I'll send you my chiropracter's bill. LOL!

    That rich reddish one is Kaneohe Sunburst? Incredible!

    Looks like a blast. It was nice the carts were outside, then you had it to use as a battering ram once inside.
    Great haul!
    Tally HO!

    Tally,
    I used the cart to block the entrance while Barbra ran for the tables to get our wishlist items. Teamwork is key.

    Mike, omg LOL about you & Kenny selling plants to each other!!! Haha! Luckily Jen, K & Barbara welcomed me into their group & we're gonna come up with a PSA table or something eventually!

    K, outstanding haul for you & Barbara, great hunting!! What's the most plumies you've squeezed in the ole Avalanche?!

    Emily, I'm working on our seller's name: JEB K's was the best I could do, lol.

    Mike, too funny!! But if Kenny keeps going the way he has you won't have anything to sell him he doesn't already own!

    K, another good haul. You seriously need more land, my friend! Sorry I missed the sale, but at least you know one or the other of us will watch your back for a sale. E's turn next year!
