My birthday fell on Memorial Day this year - and vice-versa - which I took as an omen for list-issuance. It's spurred as well by depletion of my March offerings. Despite the economy or because of it, many people placed copious orders, more than I expected, slowing me down considerably. My apologies if you were amongst the long-waiters; I can only process two to four orders a day and at one point had 60 in the queue. Some delays arose through quite another cause: emails in one or both directions which didn't arrive. Other emails arrived in the junk file - huntington.org now has this elegant distinction - where I tend not to linger.
Placing an order is simple: email me as soon as you know what you want; negotiations will then proceed apace. NOTA BENE: If I don't react to your queries within a day, please write again. Repetition is far better than strained silence. Many items are in short supply. These are marked with +, one per customer. The bulbous monocots are thoroughly sleepy and look awful but, packed in vermiculite, they travel well.
