There was a cute frog hopping around in the pot when I took this picture, too. Bonus! :)

    I might have a contact with a nursery if you’re interested :) Let me know what plants you’re looking for and I’ll ask my guy. Seriously.

    We want lots of everything! :) I think we are most interested in fruit trees at the moment. I really want a breadfruit tree too…

    I’ll make a call on Monday and ask my guy what he’s got available and what he can get.

    Quickie update for you guys… my local relatives have breadfruit trees in their house in El Yunque. If you want one, they’re willing to share :)
