So I'm wandering through the nursery, and the owner hollers across to me, "I know what YOU want." I wasn't even sure he was talking to me, but he was, and I wondered how the hell he could know since I've only been there a few times. Apparently, he did remember that I like the weird stuff, because he had me follow him at breakneck speed (he's constantly zipping around) to show me one of these in bloom in the front garden. And he was right- I do want one. Even if the only one I can have is 6" tall and won't bloom for at least two years- that's all he had potted up. Grown up, it'll be around 4 feet tall!
The Broken Barn Flower Farm is an integral part of Broken Barn Industries' world class joy delivery system. Join us on a seasonal journey of hard work, pain, and sweaty misery. All beauty, all the time on a real life flower farm. These are dispatches from Zone 5.
