why did i drive across town for a purple spider mum? read this

I never thought I’d be the person who’d cross the city for a flower, but here we are. Last weekend, I saw a photo of this wild purple spider mum and just had to have it for my garden. My usual nursery didn’t have it, so I started calling around. Turns out, specialty nurseries are goldmines for rare finds. I found one across town that had exactly what I wanted. When I got there, the staff shared tips on how to keep spider mums happy—like giving them morning sun and not overwatering. I followed their advice, and now my garden has this pop of purple that makes me smile every time I see it. Sometimes, the hunt is half the fun, and you end up learning a lot along the way. gardening #flowers #planttips #spidermum #gardening #flowers #planttips #spidermum
