The Pride of Barbados plant is doing very well in its new home in my front yard. I’m looking forward to a lovely display of flowers this summer and in the years ahead. Thanks for the great plant and great service!

The poinciana was planted yesterday. It received plenty of compost, manure, and water. It looks very nice, and currently looking very healthy. Im very excited to see it mature. Thank you!
