Oh I hate those generic, no information, do you have a Smart Phone plant tags!
I try to follow the advice of my father. He said, "Always patronize the little guy when you spend your money."
So, rather than buy plants at Home Depot or Lowe's (where the money disappears into the ether) I shop at the independent nursery stores whenever possible. The money stays in our local community and the staff, usually several generations of one family, always know the names of the plants they sell, can offer advice about the best way to successfully grow the plant, etc. Truth be told, being on a fixed income, I am mostly shopping at their clearance tables to buy half-dead plants, but at least the money stays local.
