Just in time for Easter, I’ve discovered a nursery that specializes in chocolate plants. Chocolate Flower Farm in Langley Washington features all things chocolate, from candles, soap and teas to annual and perennial plants and seeds. Oh my, and what temptations they have!  I’m salivating over Nicotiana ‘Chocolate Smoke’ and Iris chrysographes ‘Black Form’ — and I haven’t found seed for Cosmos atrosanguineus (Chocolate Cosmos) in years, let alone 4″ pots! This Easter weekend, I’ll be hippety-hopping through the pages of the Chocolate Flower Farm online catalogue! (Yes, they ship seeds to Canada!)
