This is in part a letter that I have been meaning to send for the past four years.
Simply put I want to both thank and congratulate Communities in Bloom for doing such a magnificent job of making so much in the streets of Chemainus look absolutely wonderful.
This is particularly the case now and last year inasmuch as they have been given probably twice the acreage, with all the new flower beds built by the municipality, that they originally committed too.
Thank you and well done, indeed, very well done.
Further I would like to offer them the seeds of an annual, a sort of no known name, that under their care might evolve into a very useful addition to their already rich repertoire. The plant is a six to eight inch high, annual, with abundant upward facing star like soft red flowers.
The seeds that I have gathered are so tiny that my old eyes cannot sort them.
What is needed is a sharp eyed gardener with access to a well watered soil in a sunny spot so you are welcome to them;. I would hate to see them go to waste.
