St. Cloud Times — Nia Primus hesitated when trying to list her favorite flowers.
Was it a prickly cactus or fleshy succulent? Or maybe a sleek and colorful lupine?
But like a mother being unable to choose a favorite child, Primus just cannot bring herself to pick a favorite flower.
“I love all of them,” she said with a shrug of the shoulders while picking dying flower heads from a patch of snapdragons.
Primus, 42, is the gardens supervisor at Munsinger Gardens and Clemens Gardens. While unable to choose a favorite flower, Primus is able to name each and every annual flower variety that flourishes in the gardens — all 500 of them.

Primus grew up in St. Cloud and graduated from Tech High School. She majored in biology at St. Cloud State University and started working for the city at the nature center in 1999. When the nature center closed in 2008, Primus joined the staff at Munsinger and Clemens gardens. She became garden supervisor in 2010.
