So this lady comes up to ask for help in floral which isn’t unusual at the time as the actual floral peeps have gone home by then.
Only no.
This lady takes 3 f***ing hours!
“What do you think about that one” (proceeds to disregard anything I say) “maybe I should get all three” (will it get you out of here? I have shot to do) “well what will it look like when it grows up?” (How the fuck should I know? Depends on a lot of factors. Are you planting it in the ground or in a pot? Soil? Watering? Are you planning to train it a certain way? Just buy something or get out of the store already!)
When she finally bought something she put the other trees on hold. “Just in case”
Then two weeks later after floral constantly trying to get a hold of her to say hey we need to know if you’re still buying this or not because it’s product and we have to move it or money isn’t being made. She finally comes in.
“This isn’t the tree I put on hold.” “It doesn’t look the same!” (Well imagine leaving a tree alone for two weeks in the beginning of the growing season and coming back to find out it’s grown a few inches!) Etc for a good half hour.
Then it’s “well it was at this price! That’s what I paid for the others!” (That was two weeks ago lady. Sale ended get over it and no we won’t don't even ask.)
It was one of those Japanese maples and if given the right conditions those things grow fast for a tree. The one I bought last year is almost double the size this year. That being said my garden sometime gigantifies things it shouldn’t. Normal plants don’t just grow aggressively they get to be many times their standard size and not because their a special species that does that. My calla lilies have grown to disturbing sizes for instance. I can pluck a single flower and the flower itself is big enough that its the size of my sink (the actual sink not the counter the sink is sunk into. And they seem to be getting bigger each year... yet I kill tulips... And succulents...
Only no.
