During the Christmas season, Patricia Baird would display her live flower plants at the Parika market for sale on Thursdays and Sundays.
Last Sunday when this newspaper caught up with her, it was after midday and she had already sold all of the large plants.
Several smaller plants, such as palms, croton, Joseph’s coat, fern and morning glory, were inside a cart and on a table. A few people stopped to admire them, promising to return to make purchases.
