Cover so nice, we had to make it twice. ⁠
⁠
Today, we're sharing with you the two final covers our September/October issue came down to. Which one do you think we chose? ⁠ Which would you choose? ⁠
⁠
In this issue, we embark on a historical and horticultural journey as the fruit industry crosses the Oregon Trail with Ann Amato (@ann.loves.plants), ⁠
⁠
Raleigh Darnell presents a compelling argument for naming Phlox as our new national flower. ⁠
⁠
And Danielle Dall'Armi Hahn (@rosestoryfarm) and photographer Victoria Pearson dive into the science of rose fragrance. ⁠
⁠
We also check in on the wildlife at River Farm with Assistant Editor Lillie Tynch (@lillietynch), or find yourself digging into the science behind variegation's many patterns with Terra Nova nurseries (terranovanurseries)  co-owner Dan Heims (@hortiholic). ⁠
⁠
We're excited to bring in the fall with you! ⁠
⁠
