We are so happy for you!! Floret is why I started growing cut flowers in my yard 3 years ago after seeing them on Garden Answer. Now I grow too many for just myself and friends and family so I’m starting an honor box booth in front of our house in the Chicago suburbs. I’ve learned so much.

Laura mentioned Jenny and Jerry last week. You, with your partnership with Wine and Weeds. I just KNEW Steve hailed from Minnesota. ☺️ I've been thinking of planting Asclepias in my garden. Seeing that gorgeous bouquet is pushing me closer to growing it. And that light purple one with the green cone-like protrusion. Mmm, mmm.

Thank you for having such a wonderful channel with practical plant advice for us amateurs! 💐
