I was amazed to see Medusa plants at the Lowes garden center last spring. I
did grow lot's of ornamentals and did pretty well selling the mature plants
at the Farmers market. Also I sold some to a florest who used them in
various designs.

Last year was a bit out of the norm on the ornamentals. Trying to keep
it as brief as possible....
I do some retail plant sales in the Spring. The ornamentals go great
guns & are my best sellers at these things. This last Spring, I got an
invite to go on a cruise of the Eastern Med (they paid! :-) The wife
did not/could not go. I asked her to handle the plant sales while I was
gone but, needless to say, she wasn't real motivated ;-) As a result, I
had TONS more ornamentals than normal.
Based on feedback, I'll cut them back and dramatically increase the
number of Fatilis & milder edibles.
