My dad is the manager so I don't feel too guilty about it. But they don't sell them separate and the planter was a lot of money so I was going to try and order some online. Unfortunately I didn't "steal" a leaf to take a pic of as well and I don't really remember what they looked like. Quote \| Reply \| Report

In which case I will be in luck because I planted a lot of them last year by seed and think they are coming up! At least I hope. If anyone knows anything about them I would very much like to know. I really like the looks of them. Thanks! Quote \| Reply \| Report

Flower is about 1 1/2 inches. So pretty. I bet this is your little blossom.
