Felix Foggia

In every flower garden there is always one flower that everyone admires and would like to take home with them. Felix Foggia is remembered not only for the flowers that he supplied to others, But for the love and dedication he put into every flower he grew.
Felix was the flower that was always admired, And will be remembered for the friendship and compassion he gave to everyone he knew.
