It's interesting how plants are sold. In Santa Cruz, most of the plants are sold in nurseries, and the nurseries are either specialties or departments of hardware-building supplies chains like OSH and Lumberman's. (that last is new in the area, they bought out a local independent of course) In Watsonville -- twelkve miles away -- there some great huge wholesale agricultural nurseries and a few tiny places that are also florist shops, and one old-time nursery (where I actually bought some of my baby trees back before the Ice Age). Other than that, plants are sold in a lot of huge chains -- Long's, OSH (does it count as huge yet?), Home Depot, grocery chains, KMart. And those chains are the place where the plants are turning into ugly coarse freaks, foreshortened in the stem and flowers full of acromegaly and nobody pays attention to branching patterns and leaves at all.
What do you think you're going to do next? I'm kind of stymied myself (I think because of my own head thing), so I always like to hear about other people's transitions.
