Oh, the humanity!

Okay, so no one was severely injured, but think of all the plants that died.

There was a fire yesterday at Aldershot, a major plant greenhouse south of Las Cruces. This was the place that horticulture students got dragged to semester after semester when I was in school. They are (or were) the largest decorative mum producer in the U.S. You see those plants in the grocery store? They probably were grown right here.

Kind of makes me wonder, though, where am I supposed to get the poinsettias to decorate the stage at December's commencement?
