Good afternoon friends.
I sowed a bunch of typical capensis seeds because many of my neighbors said they would be interested in them. However, when it came time to repot and give them away, only two said they were still interested. As such, I have six little pots that each contain half a dozen or so capensis seedlings.
I really don't need more Capes, so let's give them away, shall we?
I'd like to give these away to newer growers, but that's not a requirement.
Three winners, each will receive two of the little pots.
Winners pay postage, payable via PayPal "Friends and Family" (likely $10).
Open to US addresses only.
Drawing in about a week.
Standard format, abstain from any use of 3.
Aaaaand go!

2. Carnies - can't have enough capes can ya?

Just curious - where did the giveaway aversion to the number 3 come from?

It’s an age-old curse which grants eternal bad luck to the user that uses the forbidden number.

4. I think I'm doing this right!

Close. Fixed it, but at least you skipped 3.

There was a time that it seemed every winner of a giveaway was the third entrant. So, in my giveaways at least, I have banned the number three. If you use the number three, I will lay some sort of curse upon you.

I figure we'll do the draw in about an hour. I've got a busy week ahead with classes starting, so we'll see if we can get these out before I start.
Last chance to get your name in for typical Capes.

Three prizes, three entrants, very easy to say who won.
MaxVft, Carnies, GoldenFarmer, congrats. PM incoming with PayPal info for postage of $10.

Thank you!

One packaged up and ready to go out tomorrow. Waiting to hear from the other two.

I can pay tomorrow if that's ok. I assume they ship potted?

Tomorrow is fine.
I should have specified that. I intended to ship them as plugs of peat with the plants on top, I don't know if the pots will fit in the small flat rate box. I can try, but no promises.
I'm also including a surprise that will be bare root and in need of potting up. Not huge, but has potential.
