Bowie Police executed a search warrant at 1407 Sanders on July 29. The two residents believed to live in the home were not present.

At first, it would seem the Supertunia Tiara Petunias were designed with the artist gardener in mind. While that could be true it is most likely that these petunias are so unique and beautiful that any combination or application you try simply looks ready for canvas.
