Hi, RAoCers! I promise, I have NOT forgotten about this, nor about playing! I wanted to give a State of the Floral State update real quick.

First, thanks to all of you who indicated an interest in playing Flower Bingo - I'm hoping this will be fun for everyone. I also want to thank those of you who posted you've received your cards, that's a big help to me.

I did a quick check against my list - about half of the players have received their cards, but have not seen posts from a number of others to indicate one way or another; one player is international, so I know they should hopefully receive it this week. I've sent messages to those in the US to check in, make sure they're still interested and confirm receipt.

Number of Players: 20

Number of Cards Confirmed Received as of 05/02: 19

Waiting to Hear from: 1

Once I hear from the last International player, it's on. The flowers will begin sneaking into my posts... and we'll see on whom the flower deities smile first.

Thanks and stay tuned - updates as I receive them.
