More than a business

Spend five minutes with Chris, and you can understand why. The Southern Bulb Company is much more than a business. It reflects Chris's approach to life. He keeps a copy of the Bible in his truck, and he says he believes that faith is not a state of mind but an action. "You have to trust that your life is going to be all right," he says.

It's with that quiet confidence and optimism that the Bulb Hunter marches forward, seeking out beautiful flowers to spread across the South.
