Our local star brings us flowers.

Avonia quinaria subspecies alstonii with Salvia ‘Royal Bumble’ looking over its shoulder.  Outdoors, I mostly grow plants native to our area, but I’m a citizen of the world when it comes to cultivating species from elsewhere that don’t exhibit weedy growth habits that push the locals out.
