Default Post Easter Markdown - Hyacinths and Easter Lillies


PIcked up some Hyacinths and Easter Lillies today.... Wal Mart kept the prices
high for a few days after Easter, but finally lowered them somewhat...

Hyacinths - 3.00 per pot 3, sometimes 4 bulbs per pot - pre Easter price 6.00

Easter Lilly - 3.00 per pot one plant per pot.... pre Easter price 6.00.

Tulips 3.00 per pot one plant per pot... pre Easter price 6.00

The store still had a fair sized selection... blooms were fading, but still
there so the hyacinth color was evident. That will help when laying
out the garden design prior to planting.

Prices might drop further as blooms die off OR Wal Mart might just dump
them in the dumpster... who knows.

Home Depot was selling nearly dead plants for 1.99. Guess they
can't afford a dumpster.
