HAS TAKEN HER PASSION FOR
GROWING PLANTS TO ANOTHER LEVEL
LIKE THAT APRIL, MORTON
INTRODUCES US TO THE RARE PLANT
FAIRY WHO IS RECEIVING GLOBAL
REQUESTS FOR HER PLANTS. DETROIT
IS KNOWN FOR PRODUCING SOME
PRETTY AMAZING THINGS BUT RARE
EXOTIC PLANTS. SO I GROW AND

TO CUSTOMERS ALL OVER THE GLOBE
. WE’LL GET BACK TO THAT
AWESOMENESS IN A MINUTE. WHAT’S
SO COOL? SHE’S CREATING ALL THIS
MAGIC FROM A WAREHOUSE ON THE
EAST SIDE. SO HOW DOES ONE
BECOME A PLANT FAIRY STARTED OFF
AS A COLLECTOR. I JUST KINDA
COLLECTED THE PLANTS THAT I
LIGHT. AND IT JUST SO HAPPENS
THAT MY TASTE IS PRETTY MUCH
MATCHES EVERYONE ELSE’S TASTING
. I CAN ANTICIPATE WHAT PEOPLE
WANT AND WHAT COLORS THEY WANT
OR WHAT SHAPES THEY WANT, AND I
TRY TO EITHER SOURCE THEM OR
GROW THEM MYSELF. BELIEVE IT OR
NOT, JOSH LYNN GREW HER FIRST
PLAN IN HER SPARE BEDROOM. JUST

LITERALLY OUTGREW IT. AND NOW
WELL, LIKE I MENTIONED BEFORE
HER PLANTS ARE IN SUCH HIGH
DEMAND. SHE HAS ORDERS COMING IN
FROM AROUND THE WORLD. THIS
PLANT CONSOLATION MAST ERA’S
MOST POPULAR PLAN, THESE
BEAUTIES HEADED TO HAWAII.
THAT’S RIGHT, HAWAII. NOW, IF
I’M NOT MISTAKEN, THAT PLACE HAS
EXOTIC PLANTS AND FLOWERS
EVERYWHERE, RIGHT? FUNNY THING
IS THE MONSTER ACTUALLY GROWS
WILD IN HAWAII, BUT THE SPECIFIC
COLOR PATTERN THAT WE GROW IS
NOT LIKE A WHILE. OH SOMETHING

OTHER PLANS HERE. FOR EXAMPLE,
THIS ONE IS KNOWN FOR ITS RED
BAINES. AND WE CAN, LIKE CROSS
