Discussion -- Summer 2006 Flower Purchase
Frates reported his desire to establish the 2006 flower list in order to pre-order the
flowers in an attempt to get a small discount and purchasing from the local nurseries.
He noted, most of the national flower markets, including the locals, have gone to larger
pot sizes and larger plants, which cost more. Other concerns are blooming times, pick-
up times and other necessary criteria.
The membership recommended using the new flower list and pre-ordering for next
season.
