I love this fun idea, so I had to make sure the plants sent a postcard, too! They are loving their time in the spotlight and are eager to share their experience! Check out all the postcards on April's site! Fantastic!

Tonnye Fletcher @tonnyef.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

I don't pick it up often anymore, but when I do, it brings me such joy, and then I don't want to stop playing. Then, my lips insist! LOL I do love string music, though -- especially string quartet, and Puccini's Crisantemi has definitely become one of my favorites! #MusicPlantsHope

OK, I'm doing a big paraphrase here. This is not word-word with the Spanish. But, it's the gist of it. Natalia says that she wanted to include a little story underneath the main story of the concert for plants .
