I got my fan of Whale Tails today from Lalambchop, Leslie Mauck. I also got a nice bonus of Azure Wings. I look forward to Azure WIngs blooming because I haven't purchased any new spiders in years. I think it will be a nice addition.
I'm so excited about Whale Tails. It's one of those that I saw last year for the first time when Michele mentioned it. Oh, I wanted one of these but I knew if Michele was having trouble getting a SF of it, I was not going to be able to find one, much less afford it. Well, time went by and I was browsing the LA and OOOOOOHHHHH there was a fan for sale and no one had bid on it and it was a really great price. I put my bid in and crossed my fingers and toes and waited. To make a long story shorter, all my dear ATP friends that would have normally bid on it, saw my bid and they didn't bid against me and I won the plant for about $50 less than I had ever figured I'd find a fan for. Happpppy Happpy Happpppy me. I really felt sorry for Leslie, but she has been so wonderful and never once appeared disappointed that it didn't sell for more. She's fantastic and I will definitely be watching for more of her auctions this fall. She sent me alot of emails to make sure she shipped the plant when I wanted it and this is an issue that has shown up on here several times, so she's just all around GREAT! Mona
