Tim:

	I would certainly love to raffle one off at the upcoming
Philadelphia Flower Show Region II GWA meeting on Monday March 2, 2009.
What would you think that the chances should sell for?  $1.00?  $5.00?  Last
year we had about 100 GWA members and other vendors, exhibitors and PHS
members.  We probably had about 175 people for breakfast and the show.  It's
not a whole lot of money--over all--but it would certainly get the news out.

	Suggestions.

Ideaswanted

I'm hoping for some ideas.

Spring Meadow Nursery is preparing to launch new plant through Proven
Winners called INVINCIBELLE 'Spirit.'  It is the first ever pink mop-head
hydrangea aborescens (i.e. a pink form of 'Annabelle'). Growers will get
liners this coming spring so it should be a retail in spring of 2010.

We will be working with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation as a Pink
Partner to raise money to find a cure. A portion of sales will be donated
with a minimum annual donation of $10,000.

I have a 100-200 gallon stock plants that I can release in June 2009 and
want to use them in a way that can raise even more money for breast cancer
research.

I'm looking for ideas. 

If someone comes up with a great, usable idea I would certainly share a
plant.

Sincerely,

Tim Wood
