WY registered agent
Wyoming, $9 a year, one pot
Care sheet, Wyoming cultivar. Read top to bottom: first the yearly charge, since that is what browns most plants, then how ours is doing, then the statute, the repotting fee, the courthouse rule and the remedies, every one quoted from the code the way a label quotes the grower. Our notes are the small type.
The Wyoming yearly charge, first, because it kills plants
Feeding schedule: once a year Wyoming bills the company to stay on the books, and the amount is below. Skip the feeding and the saving looks good for one season, then the pot goes brown.

Where the stock comes from
Everything in the catalogue was collected in Wyoming, in the sense that sagebrush is collected by standing near it. These are the places the label says.
Grand Prismatic Spring
Bacteria in rings, from blue to orange, coloring hot water for free. We color nothing and charge nine dollars. The bacteria have the better model.

Morning Glory Pool
A hot spring named for a flower it resembles. We are named for a shrub we resemble, in that neither of us moves.

Castle Geyser
A stone cone built over thousands of years by a geyser that erupts on a schedule. We have the cone. The schedule is aspirational.

the Green River at Seedskadee
The river wide and slow through the refuge, with the brush growing right to the bank. Our stock, in the wild, unpriced.

Bighorn Lake
A reservoir filling a canyon between walls too steep for anything to grow. The one place in the state we cannot source from.
