LOL!

Did you know that the, ‘Granny Smith’ apple was discovered in Australia, while ‘Granny Smith’ was using parts of apples to to breed her orchids?

The only time I have time to do this kind of stuff is in the winter and it costs too much to heat my greenhouse in these brutal Wisconsin winters!

This winter, put, ‘Flower Confidential’ by Amy Stewart on your reading list. You’ll love it! :)

So she was an orchid grower not an orchardist? Interesting!
There is a cold hardy apricot that was found growing in a farmers trash area in New Berlin Wisconsin.

There may be a way to heat a greenhouse with one of these.
You have to fire it up though. A bother.
