It was my good fortune to strip the tape off all the boxes & be the 1st to look inside. Of course it was my job to get them off the 18-wheeler truck, by myself, and into the shop too.
.
Cellophane sleeves were removed & I set the plants on various display shelves according to the lite they needed. As the week passed I removed spent blossoms, watered and pulled off yellowing leaves. And poof, all the plants were sold.
.
This wasn't a sissy job, I also handled trees, shrubs, groundcovers, annuals, perennials, statuary, potting up 3 gallon roses, hand-watering, sales, accounts payable/receivable, deposits, & etc.
.
I wish you could experience those boxes of gloxinia, cineraria, freesia, & etc. Pure abundance of beauty.
.
This story is over 25 years old, and I've never seen such decadence in abundance of those flowers again.

Garden & Be Well, XO Tara
