I spoke to a nursery person there recently who told me that the owner/s had a Dad in the business for many years. They grew up working along side him and have been around it all their lives.
I met the owner on my first visit. Clean cut young man. I asked him some detailed questions on various plants and he was delighted to see that I knew a thing or two. We walked around together leisurely and he graciously pulled out anything I wanted to see up close.
He spoke excitedly of things he had ordered for later in the season. I saw a real passion there.
I bought a large, magnificent specimen of Flamingo Flower (anthurium) for $19
Not a blemish on it anywhere. Tons of buds. Not one speck of debris to clean up.
I LIKE THAT a whole bunch
