Nope, I haven't seen a one since moving up here. Down south they're allllllll over the place though. I would like to get some porterweed but ONLY the native kind. And there is so much confusion about which is native that I can't trust anywhere to know. The only way I can be assured is to order from Native Plant Nurseries -- I think that's the name of our mail order place here in FL right Melanie? I have it on a bookmark so I can find it regardless. Waiting for fall to place an order. I have found that here, especially with not being able to get the water hose to lots of places I have to plant in the fall or plants will never survive their 1st summer. I can carry things in pots until fall but I'm pretty full up with the pot ghetto until I can clear those out by planting in fall. Heck, I only have a few empty pots left I can even put anything in. Hilarious!
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
