* 2nd Place: One 1 gallon bamboo plant, appropriately suited for your zone
* 5 ?Runners? Up will receive Bamboo Headquarters T-shirts and bumper stickers!"

They could probably ship you a t-shirt. :)

I guess I was a bit off... there are 7 prizes and around 30 entries.
They could award me 1st place and then they wouldn't have to part with the 4 plants because they can't be shipped into Florida. :idea:

What if I donate them to the ABS auction? Now that's an idea!

Well, it has been "The Code" password with an "unnamed" group (this time only) for a long time . :D Silence of the Lambs (movie version) came out in 1991, so I know it has been in use for nearly that long.

I used my code today and picked up a B.m. 'Midori Green'. :)

My list of wanted plants is down to 2, and I was told that whenever I want to dig I can get a chunk of B. emeiensis 'Viridiflavus'. That'll just leave G. atro. 'Watupawan', but that is listed as not even being in the U.S. yet, so I guess I'm done for the time being. :)
