In fourth grade, collecting stickers was a huge fad and I knew kids that had photo albums filled with them. They were ‘collectors’. I had one small humble half sheet sized album that held my stickers. I chose ones with sparkles around the edges and as a young gymnast that was often mistaken as a boy, the stickers made me feel girly and giddy.
One afternoon, I accidentally forgot my small sticker album at a friend’s house and she decided to ‘improve’ my stickers by cutting all of the sparkly edges off of them. She had ruined my collection and I threw them away. No more sparkles for me.
Until now.

| Anthurium Red Crystal Blush F1 bred by Lindsay Sisti |
Now, I’m feeling giddy at the pink and silver sparkles on my Anthurium Red Crystal Blush F1. The vivid emergent is cute, but becomes special as it fills out. And the hardened off leaf looks classy like a black velvet cocktail dress with the right flourish of jewelry.
Lindsay Sisti at All the Plant Babies has bred a masterpiece and you can find them available for purchase on her website, www.alltheplantbabies.com.
Because it’s never too late to sparkle.
