I sent off an email order to DahliaLama. We'll see!

PegMc

I thought Creekside was to open today @ 1:00pm Eastern. Does anyone have any info updates? The whole site is down. ???

Paige

PegMc I took it more as “we will open sometime after 10am pst” not that they would open right at 10am. I could be way off though.

PegMc

Paige Well darn! I need to stop speed reading - you're right, "sometime after'. But who has all day to keep hitting the refresh buttons, lol?!!!

blown_dry

Their exact words were "Monday afternoon" CT. I tried to be very conservative for folks that didn't want to take any chances on missing it so that translates to "sometime after 10am PT". Sorry for the confusion!

Krista

Clearview is open … but they didn’t offer the varieties I was hoping for this year. I’m a little relieved!

PegMc

I just discovered their open after checking countless times all afternoon. Every.Last.One.I.Wanted. GONE. I'm not loving that type of open. it's sneaky, lol. And time consuming for the potential purchaser. That doesn't allow for any 'feel good' vibes. :-(

I think Creekside opened at 4-something EDT to slow people down, I missed Lakeview Kaboom drat it.

Darce

Ok I fell from grace admittedly but in my defense I got HH Spice It Up and Rivers Watermelon and Spikey Norm🤣 - I was just so startled that the creek side website was up when I checked it that i threw my best intentions away SO quickly

Krista

Darce Haha I love this, sounds exactly like how I’ve been operating all darn shopping season!

PegMc

Along with my Rivers' order, I received the gift of an unreleased seedling tuber that I've been told will be released this fall -- River's RNX Tana -- "4.5 inch blooms 4 foot dense plant"
Feeling special here :-)

PegMc wow! What a gorgeous bonus!

PegMc Eugene Kenyon of Rivers is going full steam ahead in his breeding program. He has many new ones coming out and he specialises in fully double orchid flowers.(Like in your picture but more orderly in appearance).

Krista

PegMc Oh wow, super very special! It’s such a beautiful bloom, too!

PegMc Yet another lovely release by River’s.
They’re making it so hard to play favorites. Lucky you, Peg!

They were nice enough to give me River's Jedidiah which I cannot find a single photo of on the internet but is given the description of a white B-size, informal decorative.

I'm really looking forward to this particular release of theirs for next season River's Fancy St. Nick.

PegMc

edewitt Write and ask her (Rosie) for a photo. Initially I only had the name of the bonus, so I wrote to ask!

calico20hill

I made 2 orders to Rivers. Gee, I wonder if I will have something fun in either or both of them! That is exciting!

AKWindWatcher

calico20hill Now I'm curious myself! Will be fun to see if we all end up with different gifts in our respective boxes.

Flowernut

PegMc I can't wait to get my order from River's Dahlias! I requested delivery the first week in April. I have never ordered from them, but I couldn't resist when I saw all their beauties. 😍

PegMc

Flowernut Yes! I already grow their: River's EveryOne, River's Phoenix, River's Splash, River's Watermelon. All very nice. They'd sent River's Alex last year as a bonus - it's yellow, but pale enough to be quite pleasing and the blossom form is nice. This year's order is River's Rosie, River's Tipsy, WB's Bailey Dawn -- which I apparently fell quite in love with as I ended up ordering FIVE of them (two separate orders - forgot about that first order!) 😜 That 2nd order went in because I'd also wanted to nab River's Purple Pinwheel. Which I was able to nab. Unfortunately there were storage issues, and so I have no Purple Pinwheel 🙄

Flowernut

PegMc I look forward to your review of River's Rosie and WB's Bailey Dawn. I ordered the following from River's:
Bootsie, Deb's Fabulous Daydream, River's Cherry Bomb, River's Penelope, River's Rosie, River's Uncle Ted, WB's Bailey Dawn and WB's Molten Lava. I look for good cut flowers and colors that call my name.🙃 Good luck.
