Flame Proof, Perfect Score All Season, Leader of the Pack and Top Performer are just a few of the award designations for Truffula Pink Gomphrena. It has now taken in 50 such trophies.

But I do know this style of parenting made me sensitive about broken promises which, in some cases, turned out to be simply lies.
