Flower Power
I've been trying to get a garden started, so I've visited every plant stand and nursery I can find. Last weekend I went to a commercial nursery owned by some very well known people. I bought a teeny weeny purple border shrub (clueless about names) for $5. Yup, I too thought it was outrageous, but bought it anyway, the whole time cursing under my breath that it was really a weed, albeit a very pretty one, and how could anyone sell a weed for $5?
Today, I found a little nursery in San Antonio called D' little garden, run by a very sweet lady named Dhez. The same shrub at her place only cost $1! And, she said that was only that expensive because she had to make a profit! Needless to say, Dhez just found herself a loyal customer. I won't mention the name of the other place, not because I don't want them to make any money, but because I want your money to go farther. Enjoy the pictures!
It doesn't look like much, but this beauty is a vine, and when in full bloom, it is absolutely breathtaking. Dhez won't sell it yet because she's propogating it, but I'll be waiting.
