I named this plant after my youngest daughter for a few reasons. My daughter herself is a “Busy Lizzie” always on the go. This plant, I grew from a seed just like my daughter. And as a new sapling, it almost didn’t survive, but pulled through and grew. Similar story with my daughter. So I named this plant Fiona, and it’s about to bloom and I couldn’t be happier.
