THE ART OF XERA

Our buds* over at Xera Plants wholesale specialty nursery have introduced many an interesting variety to Northwest hort-heads and plant geeks over the last five years. Now they have a great website. Read the fine print; co-founder Paul Bonine writes hilarious catalogue and tag copy.

Visit 'em at www.xeraplants.com (warning: takes a while to load). You can buy their lovely stuff only at indie retail nurseries like Portland Nursery, and more listed on the site. BIG THANKS to Xera for donating gorgeous greenery to our fundraisers...

* geddit? "buds"? ha ha ha ha ha.
