Spring is absolutely beautiful at Buchholz Nursery and in
the Flora Wonder Arboretum. Magnolia blossoms come and go, pines are shooting
up candles and some Japanese maples have fully leafed out in the greenhouses.
We are suddenly behind, as we have been every spring of my career. The main
activity that gets in the way of actually growing plants is the shipping
of them, and why do trucks have to come on the nice sunny days?
While I remain virile and frisky, and could very easily
write a blog, shipping manager Seth has no time to produce it. Once during
shipping season he snapped,” Do you want me to make money or work on your damn
blog?” I wanted to answer, “Well, both,” but I didn't push him, and eventually
we did both.
Anyway, since Seth is out “making money” today, I decided to
devise a contest. It is entitled What Is It? The three images from below
come from a file of photos that really belong nowhere, so we created a cubbyhole
called Esoteric Stuff, except that our S word contains only four
letters.
If you can identify any one of these, email us promptly at
info (@) buchholznursery (dot) com. The first five with a correct answer* will
receive an outstanding new maple, Acer palmatum 'Japanese Princess'. Along with
your answer, please provide a shipping address (PO Boxes do not work).
*If you guess all
three I'll...I'll leave you in my will.
Contest ends next Monday (28th) at 4:30 PM,
Pacific Time, and the correct answers will be posted the following Tuesday (29th).
Good luck.
