The flower hunters: how tropical orchids fueled a craze
Uh oh! Joy picked up a free plant from a Buy Nothing group that can speak sign language and perform tricks. The bad news? It\u2019s creating a jungle inside the Forever Ago studio!\xa0
Join Joy and co-host Cora as they get to know their new \u201ctotally normal\u201d plant friend and explore the history of another truly amazing plant: the orchid!

All that, plus a new First Things First that\u2019s truly unbeLEAFable!\xa0
