Re: todays events > acclimation

Gene,
I've read your praises of this Delphinium before, however, I haven't found a
wholesale supplier for it.  Mind you, we cannot deal with some of the
wholesalers you would be capable of dealing with.  The most we can take of
any one thing is 32 and purchases at any one time of the year do not exceed
$500.  I can't spend more than perhaps $2.50 (at the *very* most) on a plant
because of both budget and markup constraints.
The 2 delphiniums we have tried were both New Millenium hybrids.
