Thanks for the heads up. I've gotten a lot of great plants at Parkside. Their green houses are immaculate and they are most helpful. And very patient, as I would go into sensory overload when I got there and it took a long time for me to finally pick something out to buy it. (They also have cute golden retrievers.)
