Houston Garden Center had quart sized pots for $1.98 for plants they called garden color. I paid $3 each for the Asian jasmine and the powdery blue salvia. It breaks my heart to cut down plants given to me because I love to collect plants from other people as they are a living reminder of my relationship with that person. From Sammie, I got the confederate rose which was my very first video. Every time I look at it in my yard or the countless other people to whom I have given cuttings, I think of Sammie and smile. This pink althea, Rose of Sharon, makes me remember my mother in law, who is deceased. Plants are a way of touching other people as are the gift of seeds. All the canna lilies you see in my yard came from one medicine bottle of seeds. In fact, I have given away a car trunk load of bulbs to Vannie, who gave or sold them to a client of hers. If you are a gardener, it is such a small thing to give a gift of joy to someone else. Also going shopping for plants with someone is a way of creating a memory that will last for years. My daughters and I seek out garden plants and share while building stronger bonds.
