was today.
I had the pleasure of meeting some wonderful people AND came home with a few new purchases.
I got:
Baby Blue Eyes
Country Mouse
Ocean Isle - Chris has this one in stock and I was told by several people at the meeting that it is a "must have". Go order one NOW!
Mourning Dove
It was a super experience and I can't wait for the next meeting!

Sounds like fun 
That's nice to hear about Ocean Isle. The pictures I've seen look great so I'm hoping ours start getting a bit more maturity to them this year and look as nice.
I've had really good luck with Mourning Dove holding its blue color for a long time in the shade, but its reverse, middle variegated partner, Lonesome Dove, has not done well at all. I have then in 2 spots, one group will be 2 years old and the other will be 3 years old and they have barely grown and looked really bad at the end of last summer. I may have to move some of them around to see if it is just soil/moisture/location but in the meantime won't be starting any more...
Enjoy your new babies

Hi Alexa!
It was so great to meet you at the meeting yesterday! What fun it is to meet people from the forum and put a face to the name! Hope to see you again, Alexa!
Yes! Go order 'Ocean Isle'! It is a nice sport from 'El Dorado' that was registered by one of the TSHS past presidents, Dave Chopko. I have seen some nice specimens of it and had to get one yesterday too! I also got Sweet Innocence, White Elephant, Coconut Custard, Singin' the Blues and Mourning Dove. I think they will all be nice plants!
Cheers~
