Ratibida pinnata in front of the headhouse. I can see one in my front garden out the window.

That's a good thing.

This plant used to irritate me because it was one of only two native plants in all the plantings around the headhouse. Actually it still is, but Brad is extensively planting/replanting areas around the Administration Building and he is using native plants in good numbers.

Grand Mart International Foods: I finally took Eugenia's advice and went to this store. Wow!

Banana flowers, buds really. Though tempted, I passed on these. I had no idea what to do with them.

Indian bitter melons. These I've heard of.

Chinese okra. And there were dozens (100+?) of other exotic fruits and vegetables, a good fish market, and aisles and aisles of dry and canned good from many many places. This is not a paid advertisement. This is just a cool place. The store used to be a large Giant Food store so the variety and quantity are ridiculous and as with most of these specialty grocery stores, the prices are below those at the chain stores.
