A Huge Perennials Week Not-A-Raffle-Raffle

Posted by @dave on
Our biggest raffle ever! Eight different companies have provided prizes for this month's raffle. How exciting! Come on in and take a look, and buy your tickets.

2013-06-14/dave/a75d6aGet out your acorn wallet and get ready because it's time for another big raffle. Marilyn, the moderator of the Agastache and Salvias forum, generously spent a lot of her time contacting a slew of companies with an invitation to participate. Eight of them agreed to participate! Thank you, Marilyn, for putting this together!

There are 8 prizes here and each winner (in order) gets to take their pick of which prize they want. So, the first place winner gets to choose which of the prizes they want. Then 2nd place gets to pick from what's left, and on down the line until the 8th place winner gets the final prize remaining.

And now, without any further chit, chat or ado, here are the prizes to be awarded, in no particular order:
