December 19, 2008 - Currently the boxes that were listed as "abandoned" under WD'A have been placed under me. Capperpillar and I have pulled some of the abandoned boxes (that were still alive) and are hoping that WD'A will come to the Gathering in January so we can help her update and re-plant her boxes. Until that time we cannot guarantee that any of her boxes are currently alive and/or what condition they are in. More details to come.

1/5 in the Traditions Theme (Not a series due to placement distance)
Exit I-184 East via exit 49 toward City Center.
Take the Curtis Road exit toward Garden City.
Turn Left onto North Curtis Rd., North Curtis becomes East Veterans Parkway at the bottom of the hill.
Continue on to State Street and turn west.

Watch for the street signs at the stoplights and continue going west past “Plantation River” which goes south and “Bloom” which goes north at that light.
On the right you will watch for a Botanical /Landscape business. If you get to Glenwood you have gone too far.
The business hours are 9a-6p Mon- Sat. and 10a-5p on Sunday.
In order to view the “Tulip” Botanical Traditions letterbox you will need the 1.5”x1.5”faxcimily of the LBNA emblem.
To find the tag, Park near the flowerpots. Notice the DO NOT ENTER sign.
Enter the Greenhouse to the right of it. Once inside do a 360, look in the South West corner above eye level to a petite individual. The tag is wired to a frame bracket with a twist tie. Take it to the retail counter. Just show the tag at the counter, you don’t even need to ask for the box, in fact you cannot get the box just by asking, you need the emblem. The management was very interested in this hobby and is looking forward to your visit. I hope you enjoy the Traditions “Tulip” letterbox.
Tulip:
A mainstay of gentlemen ’ s gardens everywhere--- in America, Washington and Jefferson were tulip fanciers. “Prince Carnival” is a flamed modern beauty. The term “ cottage tulip ” celebrates the lasting love for large egg-shaped tulips among plain Englishmen, who prized them after the gentry turned up their noses at these flowers. Today they are again popular, in varieties like “Greenland”. For a strong stemmed late-blossoming flower choose “ Darwin Orange Sun ”
