I don't really think there is going to be much benefit to a bulk order in the long run, plus it is harder on the plant. I think I would like to buy on my own, but still want to do the project with everyone.

Not a problem! Keep us updated on ship dates and when it arrives

One question...when you divide out the shipping from Fred's and then add in the cost of shipping and materials to send to each individual participant...is there really enough of a savings for it to be worth your time to do all that shipping? It's a very generous thing to do/offer but having to take care of all of that yourself, Tim, would be a bit of a chore and could prove to be very time consuming. The max it could really save anyone is going to be, maybe $10. Maybe. Isn't the cheapest flat rate box now $12.95? If that's the case then it'll be less than a $10 savings. Just a thought.

That is a good point... We really wouldnt save anything to get the discounted shipping because the extra shipping would eat the savings.

let's make a group decision here. Do we want to order separate or have me reship? I cannot guarantee you even a 10 dollar saving in the long run as flat rate shipping is as said around 12 dollars. At the end of the day I want you guys to have savings, but also want the plants to get to you in the best shape possible!

Also... Should we set in stone that we are getting lc. Miss wonderful? There have been a few that said they would go with it, but want to make sure that majority is on board. No other options have come to fruition.

Go ahead and let me know what you guys think and we will go from there!

Yes I really do think it would be easier to order our own. Fred has good prices anyway or at least I think he does. It's nice to keep people in business as it is hard enough. It really would be allot of work to send them all out to each of us. and like others have said it will be easier on the plants.

Already ordered plus I got a couple more gosh darn it! How does this happen?!!!!

[Tim P.]

Sounds good. Let's order on our own. I'm sorry if this causes problems for anyone.

Not at all! You got this party started

I was tempted to buy one of each cross he did of miss wonderful. My order is over 100 now... I really want to get a good one, but this is getting spendy. What you guys think about me getting one of each? One or three. This is the question.

Whatever you want and can afford, it's your call. We all will be posting pictures of ours, so you will see that. I ordered # SVO5329. Only one of that, but I found a couple different catts I found interesting.

Were we supposed to get the crosses with Miss Wonderful, or the actual Lc. Miss Wonderful? Haha I think I messed up, because I ordered Lc. Miss Wonderful.

Just put in my order and I got:

SVO5369 Lc. Miss Wonderful (Lc. Mari's Song 'CTM 217' HCC/AOS x L. anceps 'Irwins' AM/AOS )

I also got a trinae 'Cashens' and a tenebrosa aurea.
