Sun Valley Group: Lisianthus Loves The Heat

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

-Maya Angelou

Last week Maya Angelou passed away at age 86. She was one of the most inspirational writers and personalities of a generation. The above quote is one of my favorites, since it makes me immediately think of flowers.

Flowers make you feel good, there is no trick, no smoke and mirrors, just the pure essence of a wonderful blossoming flower. So very elegant, and wildly profound just like Maya Angelou.

Purple Lisianthus

During summer one flower that gets to step into the spotlight on our farm is Lisianthus. This is a perfect summer bloom, since it grows best in the hot heat of southern California. We sent our Oxnard team member, Marisol Hernandez, out to the hoop houses to grab some fresh images of this years crop.
