Provenance
Growers call it where a plant came from and whose hands it passed through. The story is traded with the cutting, and for peruvianus especially a plant is often labeled by the place it was collected — Matucana, Rimac — rather than by a clone name, growers say. It is the part of a listing that cannot be checked from a photograph, growers say.

Every photograph in the yard pages and the shop is of a plant grown here, except where a listing says it was grown by somebody else — it says so on the listing, above the price.
