I thought Ball had better plants at the Gardens, but maybe they were more difficult for the marketers to get excited about. Victor, I'll check into Fresh Air Forum. Looks interesting!

In some way this is making me think possibly that the emperor will have no clothes. It may be a flash in the pan, a novelty plant, a home-run for talented designers who can make it work for them, part of a long-term trend, or who knows. I can't see myself buying it because I am always thinking of what I will do with something like that, and my imagination is not finding a spot for it or grabbing onto what those who think it's a great idea say they see. Hopefully some people make some money on this thing, and few lose much.Sid Raischhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01597135602565924940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9037222538742373220.post-15441615077333781052010-08-21T16:25:59.933-05:002010-08-21T16:25:59.933-05:00Thanks for the link, Victor.
