A number of months ago, I asked the shop owner of the Golden Dragon if he would one time, buy potted plants from his wholesaler. I didn’t want to tell him that to purchase them from a plant store or florist was expensive and also kept to myself the information that occasionally I would like to buy something that lasts longer than a week. For a while my suggestion seemed to fall on deaf ears. Then one day, plants! And plants it has been. As I look out the window today, I see not only the display you see here, but the risers are filled and more plants on the ground to the left of the front door. His cut flowers have been weaned back to just what he has inside in the windows. It is rather fun to think that I was right and now that he has tried it, his success is prompting him to purchase more. And of course his inventory is not as vulnerable as cut flowers. Obviously too I was not the only one who wanted an ‘indoor garden’. Rather pleased with myself and him for hearing me.
