Yay! How fun to have my old friends visit! I think gardening IS lusty - and it would be great if we all just put away any puritanical inhibitions and indulge in the sexiness of what we do, WOW! So I'll take you comment in that spirit - THANKS! JCharlier! Yay! How fun to have my old friends visit!

Not everyone can write with lust in their hearts for their plants. Elizabeth from GardenRant just bemoaned the other day abut how food writing is sexy & lusty and garden writing is all, "Ten best perennials to match your outdoor kitchen!" Or something to that effect. Good to have someone dirty writing about gardening. Take that any way you want.

I will send out good thoughts to your Delonix regia - the national tree of my birthplace, Puerto Rico! There, we call the Royal Ponica a 'Flamboyan' - I LOVE that name - it suits that gorgeous tree perfectly! ESP - Right on! Blog friends! And yes, if Willard were made flesh, it would be Johnny Depp's flesh. How did you know? Please - if you DO end up at your local nursery, rose between your teeth - take pictures!!! I'll be doing the same with your blog - starting at the first post and catching up. Fun!

I love your blog and writing aswell! In fact I just added you to my sidebar. Willard is quite the Johnny Depp for you it seems (if you like Johnny Depp that is)! What a great plant and a great story! Perhaps I need to turn up at my local nursary with a rose in between my teeth, gawking and lamenting my latest Monroe! (btw...very funny about scaring off other customers). I am so happy we found each other finally, I will work my way backward through your blog, you will be hearing a lot more from me! Regards, ESP. Hi Ivette.

My obsession is a Royal Poinciana tree that has been in the ground for 7 years and has yet to honor us with a single blossom. Maybe this year is the year! Hope springs eternal.

That is why I will always go to an independent nursery first - there is a real personal connection that supports the business. Just like in your case, Molly had me as a loyal customer already, but in that gesture she secured me as a staunch supporter, advocate, and free sales associate (I am always talking people into buying when I'm at her nursery - I can't help it!). Ah, to be gifted a spiky plant! Aren't we lucky? Isn’t it great, Loree, when a shop/nursery owner does something like that?
