Dahlia and I were truly inspired by the flora-radness.\u00a0Many fellow gardeners &#8211; both carnie-heads and non-carnie-heads have told me about Jared Crawford&#8217;s amazing artistry with the Sarracenia sink display (photos below slideshow), and I figured it was time to finally go and check it out &#8211; along with the rest of Flora Grubb&#8217;s sheer magnificence! There&#8217;s so much to talk about that I could go on for days and days about it, but I&#8217;ll let the photos speak for themselves.
