    Some years ago someone told my hubby about this great nursery in our nearest big city. We went there and it was "plant heaven". We quickly became good friends with Rita Randolph who owns it. She inherited it from her father. She loves garden art so we do a barter every year. She always has cutting edge plants. She wasn't selling this one yet, she just gave me one. I hope I can winter it over in my storm house like I do my other plumbagos. Rita got her first Patented plant this year. It is a chartreuse boston fern called "Rita's Gold". I am so proud of her.[​IMG]

    OO I love that fern!!!! I also think the name 'Plant Heaven' is a perfect choice for Ritas nursery.

    It must be an amazing feeling to have a plant patented and your name attached to it. Wow :eek: Next time you she her tell her it looks great and well done. I am in awe of that achievement.

    Is that your garden art behind the "Rita's Gold" Bethie?
