Garden

[Big Sis]

I ordered more plants than usual from Q this year, despite some disappointments in the past.  I must say that the packaging has vastly improved.  I especially like the molded plastic containers that Roberta's is using.  My plants have all arrived in beautiful healthy condition.  I am super excited to see how they perform.

Yes.  I received butterfly weed from Roberta's last month, and I agree, the packaging was excellent, the plants looked good, and they continue to do well in my garden.

They did look like this, but hadn't been pinched to branch quite like it.  I'll pinch them next year after they've gotten established a bit.
