Welcome to our latest season of PlantStories, Garden Flowers! In an effort to reconnect with Spring, we're looking at some of the world's most famous garden flowers and what they mean to us. Up first is the Rose. The most classic of all flowers, it's been with us longer than most people can remember and has stood the test of time when it comes to representing flowers everywhere.
So just how old is the rose? We think you'd be suprised. It's roots go straight back to our History of Houseplants episode (which if you haven't listened to already is definately worth your time), and it's probably one of the oldest ornamental plants we know of. But beyond being beautiful, it has been the talk of everything from Greek myths to modern day poetry. At one point they were even considered on par with money! Come join us today as we learn about the flower that tinted our life beautiful.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
