With much anxiety Angele and I drove up to Richmond, California to the new nursery called Curious Flora. I was curious. I was hoping for the best but prepared to be disappointed and ashamed. The best being a thriving commercial nursery producing fun and new things along with those successful heirlooms. The worst, a possible commercial implosion and the loss of a great gardening resource.
I am delighted. The parking lot was full on Saturday morning and the nursery racks were full too . The demonstration garden was planted full of inspiration and the possibility of finding that next new love. I felt overwhelming relief and a warm heart. (That is difficult for one once regarded as The Ice Princess)

| Angele pointed out this Salvia and told me why she loves it. The color of the buds, petals and bracts all of similar richness, extends the period of interest for 2-3 months. |

| What is this? I feel like I should know. I think it is a California native, but not sure. It looks great. |

| The retail tables were reorganized a little and somewhat reduced in total square footage but still large. |
