LionHeartLuv On May 21, 2023 Obtained plant
Obtained plant via FedEx today. These bulbs are a Mother's Day gift from my daughter (the herbologist) who lives 1700 miles away. She has the green thumb and not from me. Any plant I've ever had was dead within 6 months. But now that I'm no longer working 14 hours a day and I have a lot of home time, I'm going to try gardening with my daughter on call, lol.
