Such a vivid story. It’s almost like being along for the ride!

I would ride along anywhere with you, Jenks, but especially on a plant-buying expedition.

I think you've got all the makings for a new business: "Plant Truckin' With Jenks" - a new, no-frills excursion open to all plant lovers. "Your once in a lifetime chance ... drink truck stop coffee sloshing as you bump over potholes; camp under the stars on the flatbed truck ... all while listening to Jenks Farmer urge you to "drink faster; eat faster; pee faster! We've got more plants to find!" LOL!

Ha ! In a way, I miss my catheter cause with it, there was no wasted time pulling over on the shoulder to pee.

Dang Jenkins, those trips sound like heaven to me! Did you get the Mascagnia from Woodlanders? That’s probably too close to home for a big ole truck But Bismarkia palms ?!? ❤️ FUN!!! I can’t wait to see what you got for the nursery

No, Didn't know they grew it. It's one of my favorite vines and simply tough to find.Though last year, I saw some at a box store.

I found only 6 so will prop.

They have a new owner Fiona Von Grey and a new website that is top notch. They don’t offer wholesale but still have the good plants.
