(Again, you can see how big these are!) Makes me wonder, if the garden center is selling for $3, then the grower is getting just over a buck to a buck fifty a piece. You gotta sell A LOT of violets to cover expenses. The gas alone for the big trucks delivering would hardly be covered, at least here on the Left Coast. Our gas is still pretty high. I think I paid around $2.40 a gallon today. The garden center had two flats of these violets - 20 to a flat or so, maybe 24. Either way, that's still a lot of plants to make a profit.

Either way, I'm glad. These violets were the highlight of my day, and of course sharing them with you all.
