Today is the second day of Tampa's GreenFest, where many nurseries and landscaping companies come out to sell all kinds of beautiful plants, and show off what they can offer to all garden enthusiasts in Tampa. As you know as a weekend gardener, this show is a must-visit for me. So this morning with our three flowers in tow, my Kangmas and I enjoyed the colors of nature at Tampa's GreenFest.
I originally came in only to get some tomato plants for Iris, Rose and Jasmine to care for, and a couple of Thai pepper plants for me. But some nurseries offer very cheap prices for the plants they exhibit, so I ended up with a medium-size gardenia, a plumeria cutting (tunas bunga Kamboja in Indonesian), two flowering tomato plants, and two Thai hot pepper plants for less than $20.
Normally a medium-size gardenia goes for $20, and a plumeria cutting costs about $25. So, alhamduliLlah, because today is the last day, we got a great bargain from this GreenFest! :)
