<h2>Featured Flower</h2>

[[Chrysanthemum]]'s are a versatile group of flowers with spectacular flower forms and colors.  Suitable varieties can be found for many conditions.  Some fancier varieties known as florists Chrysanthemums cannot tolerate cold climates and must be grown indoors, while others are very hardy.  The different varieties bloom at different times of the year, and can also be forced to bloom by controlling their environment, enhancing their popularity with florists.

[[Lemon]] trees are beautiful, the blossoms smell great, and the fruit are long-lasting and very versatile in the kitchen. The Meyer lemon, actually a cross between a lemon and possibly an orange or a mandarin, was named for Frank N. Meyer who first discovered it in 1908. Thin-skinned and slightly less acidic than the Lisbon and Eureka lemons, Meyer lemons require more care when shipping and are not widely grown on a commercial basis.
