It's usually April when we begin to see the small blueish white flowers along the roadside. But because of this year's late spring, we're invited to enjoy them into late May! I envy the yards where they spread all over; begging the homeowner to put off mowing for another week.
When looking for a small pot for some of these tiny beauties, I came across this one that I adore. It's stamped G. Wolff & Co. I remember when Martha Stewart visited Guy at his quaint Connecticut studio. He was just one man creating pots as fast as he could. I'm kicking myself now that when I lived there, I never went to visit.
Guy's website tells us that these white pots were originally made for Smith and Hawken (now closed, my favorite location was in New Canaan. It's a bit of a tragedy because Target carries the line now). Until 2006, these pots were made in America. Now the pots are made in China, where a specific group of throwers is able to handle the quantity challenge. You can find more information regarding the different Guy Wolff stamps here.
