Carolyn looks great, and it was good to see her.  However, I won't be purchasing as I have had no luck with Roberta's plants.   I've been burned twice and will not be throwing my hard earned funds on their products.  

I am surprised that she didn't partner with her good friend Philip.  I've had better luck with Cottage Farms.  


 @luvzchiz  Phillip has not been with Cottage Farms for a few years now. Some of his  Phillip Watson Designs plants are sourced from Roberta's also.  He also has plants from other companies such as Proven Winners that many of you will know from local garden centers. 

 

I missed Caroyn but watched the video of her Salvia. I do not have sunny space in my garden to plant salvia this year, so with Carolyn offering annual salvia, I may buy a set for some pots that sit in a sunny corner of my patio. 

 

Carolyn did look wonderful. Maybe it was a blessing for her to have time to reenergize herself and start fresh and ready with a new venture.  She's a pro, but she had to have a few butterflies. I wish her all the best!

It was almost like she never left. I bought the Cuphea set of 3. I checked a comparison price with the Burpee website. They sell 4 plants for $24.99, but they are all one color. I'm going to put these in pots with complimentary colored petunias, calibrachoa, and maybe verbena that I buy at our local garden center.

 

We'll see how well they do. Plants really tend to thrive on my patio, and I really want to attract more hummers.

@Barbiedr I liked those too.

If Carolyn is comfy to walk the halls of the Q bldg once again, good for her, I am not so sure I would be.

Hopefully she does very well selling on the Q.
