…that I am the new momma/owner of not one but two baby dragon trees!!! Anyone who knows me, knows that I’ve been obsessed with a certain downtown Fort Lauderdale tree for some time now. Just recently, with the help of Elissa I found out the actual name of the tree that I was looking for (I had always just referred to the tree as the “Magic” tree), which began my almost obsessive search for one of my own. I quickly found that the Dracaena Draco otherwise known as a “Dragon Trees” are kind of hard to come across, unless you live in the Canary Islands, which I obviously don’t.
Imagine my surprise, then, when out for a walk with Scott, we ran straight into a Dragon Tree two streets down form our house. Long story short, we asked the neighbor where he had gotten his tree (he was in the gardening business) and he gave us the name of a place that “might” have “one or two”. Scott ended up calling the nursery and then actually riding by on his bike just to see if they had any. To my extreme disappointment, he informed me that they had none. I was super crushed. A couple of days later, I arrived at the house after work and Scott made me cover my eyes and walk outside. When he finally let me open them, standing in front of me was a perfect little baby dragon tree! He had fibbed to me about the nursery not having the trees and said that they actually had more than one. We made the decision that day they we wanted them both.
We are still trying to figure out exactly what kind of landscaping we want to do with trees, but we know that they will be with us for a long time!
