A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Gardener's Chat another good clearance deal at Lowes!

Yep I went to Lowes to get some weed and feed ,, of course I had to look in their clearance tables,,

I got 3 purple and one white( only one white one there ~ again ) I think they are osteopermun's I'm not sure there wasn't a tag,, the petals are [i]almost spoon shaped,, they aren't all the way opened yet,, tho the purple ones appear more spoon shaped,,,, Any one know for sure what these are??








Continues ,,,,,,,,

a beaut! Too bad stores here don't put anything/plants here on clearence. our walmart still has dead trees from last year at original price!

Yup, osteopermums they are. I've also heard of them being called African or cape daisies.

More from above'

I also got a kangaroo paw...




and 3 delphinum in gallons pots You can see some in K paw pic.
also got I believe it's a double petaled patunia,, in a hanging basket,



and these phlox??? I already put in a planter that I had reserved for succulents, I went ahead and put these in the top,, I know when it gets hot here These won't last I had them last year in the bird cage planter,, So I'll enjoy them for now,, the rest of the planter already has succulents, dew plant and sedum in it,,



the prices ranged from 1.00 to 2.50,

Anddddddddd,. I forgot to get the weed and feed

WOW Diane - more great bargains!!! I am soooo jealous! We NEVER get such terrific plants at such low prices!

Those first few are definitely osteospermum - and you are correct in calling them spoon petals.

I can't grow delphinium here, but I just LOVE the blues!

That kanagaroo's paws is COOL!!!

And you can't tell me that that hanging basket wasn't more than $2.50?!?!?!?

NOOOOOOOOOO fair! But I'm sooooooooooo glad that YOU got them!!!

Thanks Tamara!! I looked up spoon daisey osteopermun I'm still not sure if the purple on is or not,, it looks like it could be

I still haven't gotten over the great solar lights and now this. Why can't I find a good sale in this area? A few weeks ago when I was having my hair cut one of the stylists came and with beautiful pots he had "just gotten at Home Depot for $5.00 a piece." I went straight there when I got through and they were all gone.

I repeat myself You are such a showoff.

Totally ditto to that!!!!! I can't find very good deals on plants around here....we have a nice nursery but it's expensive, our Walmart plants are half to totally dead, and Lowes plants are even pretty pricey here.

I want to steal that Kangaroo's paw!

Thanks Lynne!! Now I'm really really Happy,, I've wanted spooned daisey's for a long time!! yipeeeeeeee!!

I sure can tell you it was 2.50 it was the last one the lady was marking prices as I was there I asked her the price,, as there wasn't a tag on it,, she took her tag gun and marked it,, everything she had been marking up to that point her marking gun was set at 2.50 I was in the right place at the right time with the right lady reducing prices with the right price!

Wow, what great deals....

BTW, I'm glad you got such good deals ----it seems like it's taking forever for my time to go get flowers---usually in late April. Trying to have patience here, but seeing your buys makes me itch to go buy plants. I need to fix up the birdcage soon too with rustoleum and a liner.

I can't wait for spring

Dang Kenny! Wanna move to Texas ???!!

Ok Dianne, it seems none of us can get good sales. You need to go into business and buy cool stuff for a % and mail it to us. Or we could all move to Texas with you.

I've always wanted to see your yard anyway.

We get awesome clearance deals here on plants all the time. Probably why my yard is over filled.

Sheriiiiiiiiiiiii No I'm not a show off! sometimes God tells me turn left, go straight, turn right, park get out and look~ and there I am in the middles of bargains !

I get good deals!

Just not in plants!

You know we could all move to Texas and move in with Diane!

How come your not here yet!!

NO YOU CAN"NT GO LOZ.

Faye.

If you go to dianne's I'am coming with you.

Diane....I guess this is why I'm not there.....my mom would miss me too much!

I don't know, but those plants looking all healthy and colorful just are making me want to garden so bad I can't stand it......*sighs* Warm weather, hurry up!

HI Tamara,nd Dianne.

tell me about it

Me and you mom + Amtrak + Dad and Marks money = Diane's!

fine. leave me here with all the snow, just fine.

Come on down here Sheri, Faye, Loz and anyone else my door is always open to friends!,, we'll have a down home BBQ, plenty of eats, and sit on the patio , then,,,,,,, I'd take you to Lowes,,

Hi Faye.(Not Hijacking~just being polite)

wonder what's up with this area. Dianne is a good shopper for sure.

Yeah,I need some excitment in my life, lets go Loz.

Hey I love Lowe's.

Wellllllllllllll wait for me!!!

Get on Board Lynne,, Come on! Lets have a Texas Meeting!!

Mom does love Lowes, she drags me around all the time---the only part I like is the nursery part. Okay, so Tamara---you get down to Lynne's....We can get you both in Washington DC, and then head to Texas.

Never seen a Lowes. we don't have them here.

We should just hire a mini bus,and all go. Dianne would love that, I'll sleep in a tent if you dont have room, but not with Loz, she likes her comfort.

Ohhhhhhhh Tamara Sounds like Loz has a plan!! Never Seen a Lowes?? Welllllll come on there is two of them within 6 miles of me!

YEAH, lets do It.

Diane, you have the hot topic of the night.....not trying to hijack you or anything----but this is fun!

Yes I DO like my comfort....not much of a tenter, more of a hotel or bed person.

We don't have a Home Depot here, just a Lowes...so they have the monopoly here.

I have plenty of room two extra beds room,, and a large living room that will sleep six! Loz can have the formal dining room,, alllllllll to her self!
and the weather will be nice enough to sleep out side at 70 degrees at night ,,
