Simidude...are you the one that knows Gordon Johnson here in Ventura and bought some Moragnes from him a few weeks ago? he and his wife are coming to the luau next Sat. I want to get to Matthews (he was here last year) But that is our son's B day and not sure yet if we have to go out of town yet. aloha, roxanne

Roxanne,
Yes, in fact, I just saw Gordon and his wife today, and he mentioned that they were going to the luau!

So, can you come or are you taking Mom to Vegas?

Roxanne, I would love to come.

Can't wait for Island Plumeria's Open House! We will be in line waiting for it to open. His plants are so healthy and happy. Nothing like his Rainbow 36, what a great flower. We'll be seeing you there and if you need to be dragged away again we will be glad to assist.

simi...sent you an e-mail on the luau...

Too bad it's so late in the year... I'd rather have new plumies starting next spring. But I hope you will post pics here. :)

Mima

Sale hours are 8-4.

If I am here I am in....rox

So who's going? Two days left before sale!

See you there when it opens even though it means leaving home at 6:00 in the morning!

HHHHMMMM......it is our son's B day and my husband forbids 1 more tree in the yard for now....DARN! roxanne

Have fun and post pictures.

Will do, kms2!

Roxanne, we'll miss you, but let me know if there's anything you'd like me to look for for you.

Allison, that's early. Why can't these things start at noon? Hopefully Ill be awake enough to make good decisions!

SIMI...If there is a blooming Mary Helen Eggenberger...OR a blooming something else that smells to die for....I would come and pick up on Monday. Do you ned some more Crocosmia bulbs? Mahalos, roxanne

I plan to make it over there some time today. Either around 11 AM (without the kids) or around 3 PM (with the kids). I know bringing the kids may be dangerous but I live on the edge :-) Plus, they are already plumeria lovers and asked me if I could bring home some blooms, so why not bring them and have them pick one. That way the wife can't tell me not to pick one out!

Cheers!
Dan

I took a number of pics at the open house, will post tomorrow. Couldn't help posting a pic of toomanydog's new Gold Coast Peachy's gigantic inflo:

And someone got this very fragrant Rainbow 40

I didn't mean to suggest that the Gold Coast Peachy didn't also smell amazing!

Great pictures, George! Thanks for babysitting my Gold Coast Peachy for me. Sorry we missed seeing you there, Dan. There were so many beautiful plants it was hard to stop.

and the fragrant rainbow #40 goes tooooooooo....yah hoo....roxanne...pick up tomorrow George...mahalos, roxane

Yep, Enablers Circle well established in the Ventura/Simi area. :)

Matthew has quite a collection, but I managed to come home with these two beauty's! The first one is a Rainbow 36 and the second one is a Malia. They both have a nice green color and and appear to be quick growers. The Rainbow 36 has a huge inflow, about to bloom, so I'm hoping I'll get one last flourish of color before it get's too cold.

toomanydogs - I'm sorry I didn't get to see yesterday, but I did see your plumies and they look great! If you keep this up, you'll have to change your user name to 'toomanyplumeria' :-)

roxane - You're amazing. You don't even go but still end up coming home with something!

George - Good to see you again and thanks for you're help. I think there's a plumeria delivery business in your future!

Great pic, Dan!

Roxanne, here's another pic of your beautiful plumie

Here's another pic of Allison's *toomanyplumeria" (thanks, Dan!) Gold Coast Peachy

And here's a travel size version of Gold Coast Peachy that someone else on this list ordered!

Pics of the sale - first is Matthew the owner in front of his huge greenhouse

It's pretty big

Happy plumeria shoppers and lots of plants

Rainbow 36

Key West Red

I almost got this Musk Rainbow, but my wallet was depleted by this point!

I did get this old school classic, Lei Rainbow, couldn't help myself

Can't remember the name of this one, I think it was just a white pink rainbow

Here are a few more

I believe this was an Amarron's Curly White seedling

Magnum Opus

It was a really good sale, lots of fun.

I also picked up a Thai Orange. No inflo, but I should have taken a pic of the mother tree. I did find a pic at FloridaColors.com - this is their pic, not mine, as they sell cuttings of this beauty. Florida Colors pic:

This was a beauty. Couldn't decide between Thai Orange and Lei Rainbow, so I got both. But that's all I got for me, which was truly an exercise in discipline!

cute kid Dan...wished I could have gone and I know I would not have limited myself to just the 1....

Glad it all worked out Matthew. alohas, roxanne

Jandey, how big will the enabler's circle be if we become sister society with Texas! Let alone Virginia!!

Thanks for taking the time to share the pics with us. We have to live through your eyes. Good Job!
Peg

thankyou SIMI for getting this great Yellow/Rainbow #40 for me. It is now down under the deck space with a smile on it's face. roxanne

Oh, wow, how did I miss this place last year? Looks fantastic!

George, I wish I'd known you wanted Lei Rainbow--we could've picked up a cutting on Kauai for you. That pink/white rainbow just under LR is gorgeous! And the star-shaped dark pink beneath that, too.

Dan, that's a great shot of your plumeria helper! Sounds like you all had a very good day, even those who couldn't make it.

Jandey, I love Lei Rainbow, I should have told you before you went. Feel free to use this as an excuse to go back! Lol.

Given all the nice plumeria there, I was really disciplined.
