| Good friend who is great with plants and flowers just (reluctantly) relocated to Tennessee for spouse’s big job. What’s a great plant to send that’s a bit of a splurge? |

Permanent relocation?
Ask them if they'd like to pick out an older fruit tree (bigger root ball)/taller trunk to get shipped in from a tree nursery? Maybe a heritage seed basket if they are good at growing vegetables? |

How about a houseplant with a gift certificate for her new local nursery? If she just moved and she’s a gardener she may take some time to figure out what to plant where. Most expensive plants are trees, and now is not the right time to plant a tree or shrub - too hot!
If I could have any plants I would probably want a whole bunch of native grasses. They are hard to grow from seed and they grow slowly so established plants would be a real luxury. But if you offered many gardeners a dozen grasses they might not be so happy. It’s pretty personal! You are a kind friend. I am sure she will appreciate whatever you send. |

The native wildflower of TN is the passion flower aka may pop aka passiflora incarnata.

Silly post . This one of David Austin’s fabled “wedding roses” not available for retail to the general public as a rose bush. |
