Do you believe those flowers?!
I met this cool guy at the Marion Flea Market. We went there to buy produce; I always buy too much cause it costs....well, it's inexpensive. Asparagus the size of pencils for a dollar a pound, fresh sweet pineapples for a dollar and a half, blackberries, blueberries.... But these Plumerias caught my eye. He's always been there but in the past I remember him selling unrooted cuttings and somehow there's always too much to do to root cutting down here. But I stopped to talk today. Dana tells me he's got a guy in Thailand that tissue cultures these crazy ones. Hey, when did Thailand become such a center of horticulture? I suppose I ought to have listened to Barry Yinger. Anyway I bought these three selections: Ceris, Cindy Schmidt, and hey, unlabeled! Oh well next year I'll be more conscientious.
