Ball Horticultural Company

Not the light bulb one.

See, we got a new one from Pan Am this year and it's got a, I mean, it's a almost, I'm looking, it's almost like a golf ball size cherry, but it, and it's like a, it's like a dark red, almost to like a mocha colored.

Super good though.

The flavor is so good.

I will tell a quick Angelonia story has to do with, uh, Calloway's Nursery in Texas, they were doing some something.

They were working some deal with Pan American Seed and their growers to like bring in a bunch of Serena Angelonia when Serena was launched, seed version of Angelonia.

And this was right when I started working retail at Ball.

And so we were down there working with Calloway's and our product manager for Pan Am, Wayne Pianta, shout out to Wayne, love Wayne, but retire.

There's some good annual varieties that have come out in the market in the last few years, the Sunfinity variety.

But we saw up at Ball Seed a few weeks ago, they have Sun Credible series and those they were growing next to the Sunfinity and the Sun Credibles were even more floriferous and more impactful and just incredible.

And what a show they put on.

I mean, I saw those at Coney Island several years ago where they planted a big row of them in front of their entry.

Yeah, because I was thinking like, I was trying to think of like, what could we talk about without Mason? Like sort of experiences you and I have had.

And so before Mason joined Ball, I did Burpee.

And I visited a lot of garden centers.

And you were doing garden center work.

I

think

some might know, some might not know, but Ball Horticultural licensed the Burpee name, which is sort of a family thing, but we don't need to get into those details.

Yeah,
