The best part was just at the end of the sale, (really just a card table with a dozen baggies and a few plantlets of Faded Denim (which i had already)
Madeline brings out two plants, one is a Chimera! Victorian Parasol, no one else wanted it, so I bought it for the bargain price of $5.

Of course, (my bad) I dropped it on it’s head when I was leaving since my hands were full with my water bottle, my note pad, camera, 8 ziplock baggies full of babies, my purse, all the flyers and booklets they gave me and the chimera. I was opening the door and ker-splat, right on it’s little head. LUCKY for me, it only bent one leaf, knocked only one bloom stem off and one adult leaf came off. Whew! What an idiot!

Anyway, here's her photo, with the broken and bruised flower laid on top. I think the second wave of flowers might be darker like the photos I found online.
