There's no better way to start your weekend than a nice stroll around the Downtown Farmers' Market, where you're sure to find Larry and Pat Ross hawking their surprisingly beautiful and hearty plants. But come early – the Blooming Idiots pack it up early before the Texas sun starts to wither their wares. Whether it's a Dutchman's-pipe or a potato plant, the flora these two incubate in their back-yard greenhouse is sure to impress even the haughtiest member of your local garden club. And for those of us who know diddly-squat when it comes to these sorts of things, fear not; these plant professors are more than willing to impart their vast knowledge and offer helpful hints to even the blackest of thumbs.
