I have been collecting seeds of this chambeyronia for a seasons now. I have known about this chambeyronia for over thirty years in yard in coff# harbour always admiring it as drove past keeping an eye out for seeds when the time is right. So one day i knocked on the door and was greeted by a elderly lady by the name of Johanna very interesting to talk to originally from California an old hippie lady from way back with many tales of the 70s with a wonderful view of life. As you talk to a person you learn more about them. I offered some gardening services I could do in return for the seeds seeing the job that had to done I turned around to see the most eclectic mosaic that should be in an art gallery amazing what a piece of art. I asked about it did it have a name no she replied just a piece of art from another world that she visited she told me truly amazing what a wonderful lady with such a beautiful life she has lived, it’s wonderful to meet such humble happy people and the best bit was it was from a palm tree that I  got to meet her. I could see vision well.

A wonderful colourful lady Johanna is that’s for sure. I used to a bit of deep sea fishing and there was a fish cleaning bench at the club you just never knew who you where standing next to talking away with them just a common interest be it gardening or fishing. Now when I speak to an elderly person I practically interview them about their life you learn some amazing things.

Nice story about your encounter. People who love plants are quite varied in their life stories, but I find most are optimistic and energetic people. Thanks for sharing her art with us.

All because of palm tree you meet amazing people. The art work had to be shown to the world, it’s amazing what’s in a backyard you just never know what you will see.

I have met some wonderful folks by talking to them about their garden. My wife and I were walking around our neighborhood and met a couple who had a village of miniature gnomes around the trunk of a tree . We ended up chatting for about 1/2 an hour about my Mum and the wee people of Northern Ireland and the strong belief of the Celtic people. We gardeners are very passionate about our “family” of plants and , like our homes , enjoy art to enhance the space. Harry

Luck of the Irish hey. You do meet some wonderful people through plants sharing a passion of plants only another gardener can understand another gardener and their abstract ways. If we where all the same the world be boring idiosyncrasies is what  makes us all individually different and iam glad iam not the same and different in my own way. Art is an expression of our minds and an individual gardener has his or her own exspression of what they call a garden giving themselves a certain freedom of mind.

The chambeyronia was a bonus. The person behind the artwork made it even more special Joanna still had it going in her unique own way.
