Yet trying not to collect plants, I stupidly wandered into Lowes discounted plant section where a fairly happy Yellow Wing Hibiscus with a bloom and a bud called to me and begged me to take her home. She was only $1; yes, I caved. On the way home I began counting stems--5! From experience I was pretty certain that mean 5 individual plants; I was right. All of them are now in pots. Realizing that FL summer is fast approaching and that my tomato seedlings may be too late I picked up a double stemmed/2 plant German Johnson at Ace (I purposely chose that one pot because I know I can divide it and I wasn't about to pay $3.49 plus tax for one stinking weed). Surgery accomplished and 2 pots, which will be set in indirect light for a week or so, are watered. Why German Johnson? Because the only other choices were OPs/Heirlooms I already have. Not that I have that many...I so need to get settled and get my nursery license so I can introduce Floridians to real tomatoes!
