- Interest in Jeff's yard has spread even further than we have known. The customer on the right wants to put together a tour of his yard including herself and many of her friends.

- The conversation involving the tour continued and went on a tangent to include Jeff's daughter Missy's wedding that was filmed in his yard for the show Four Weddings last year. It has been almost a year since the wedding, but it is still an item of curiosity.

- Andrea waits for a customer's vehicle to pull into the sales area to load that Foxtail Palm, Wodyetia bifurcata. Normally, plants would be taken outside to be loaded, but since it was slow and we were shorthanded, an exception was made. We were almost out of palm fertilizer. On the left, that was the last pallet of palm fertilizer for both weekends.

- In his first visit to the Extravaganza, FM. Wayne Smith (buccaneers37) goes through the shadehouse looking at palms and talking with Jeff. He had already grabbed a few plants including a 7 gal. Lytocaryum hoehnei and a 3 gal. Lepidozamia peroffskyana.

- Wayne added that 10 gal. Dypsis crinita and put it at the front of the cart before heading out.

- A lull hit the sales area and time slowed down as the last few hours of the 'Ganza came into being. A few customers came in late to peruse the plants. A pair of friends with plans on taking material back home via a suitcase went through loading these carts, looking for plants that could survive a good trimming.

- The last big palm sale of the weekend(s) was the pair of breeding Chamaedorea ernesti-augusti that were featured in the For Sale topic.

- The local tropical plant enthusiast had visited the nursery a few times over the past two weekends, and on his last trip he wanted something unique. The breeding pair were both in bloom and ready for some pollinating action. Jeff was giving some directions on how and when to do the pollination, if there were not insects handy to do it.

- The last hour of the day was spent helping the last few customers and lounging about up front by the holding area. Another great plant event is in the record books. Towards the right, Frank 'Pops' Searle brings his golf cart to a stop where Jeff and Melissa (Missy) were chatting with her neighbors on the left.

- Kathy runs one of the last customers through the registers as the day comes to a close, roughly a few minutes past 4:00pm.

- Melissa had brought her bloodhound Argos to the nursery to run around a bit. I could not resist taking posed photos since they were so willing, they ended up being the last photos of the day, and of the Extravaganza... till the Fall

Sure looks like it was a great sale and I really hope to be able to come down to the fall sale.
