And, finally, our no-plant-left-behind customer guarantee makes
Bloom the top florist choice for the Fairwick County Wine
Festival.”
Violet Parker stared at the silent houseplants surrounding her as she
practiced her speech. “What do you think, Snake Gyllenhaal?” She eyed a
tall snake plant that would soon go to her flower shop, Bloom. “Think
they’ll give us the contract?”
Violet was in her favorite place on earth: knee-deep in lush, leafy
houseplants in her century-old A-frame greenhouse outside her cottage. It
was the high heat of summer in Fairwick Falls, Pennsylvania, and the
humid air grasped her by the throat.
Her eye caught on a new baby pothos plant that had just sprouted. She
crouched to get a good look at it, covering her stained gardening shorts with
potting soil from her gloves.
She peered over her glasses and smiled with pride. “Hello, little friend.
Look at you, being so brave and entering this world.”
Violet’s heart ached as she thought of her dad, who had passed only six
months ago. He’d always greeted the new plants she’d bring into his failing
flower shop, treating each one as the grandchild he didn’t have.
After he passed, she re-opened the flower shop with her two sisters.
Though she was the only one with a green thumb.
She ran a finger along the light green shoot standing proudly out of the
soil. “I wonder what we should name you?”
She picked up the small terracotta pot to get a better look at it,

Manor Walls, a historical romantic drama.
“Lord Eagleton it is.”
When everything else had seemed dark and dismal after she’d lost her
father, Beyond the Manor Walls was the one show that could still transport
her to a happier place. She loved getting lost in the delicate English accents,
the rich costumes, and dramatic plot twists.
She was obsessed with the show. Had listened to all the podcasts, had
the merch, and even thought about going to a fan meetup. But too many
people would have stared at her when she was in costume, a plus-size girl
with too many curves.
A smile curled her lips as she set the baby plant back down. She loved
thinking about who might give Lord Eagleton the Pothos Plant a home once
it sold in Bloom.
Customers got a kick out of the names she gave her plant babies. Her
sisters had thought it was silly until they realized it was a selling point. But
Violet named them because they were special to her. She didn’t care about
things like marketing strategies.
She gently sprinkled water in the soil, careful not to give it too much.
“Now, I need you to grow big and strong over the next few months so I can
