NPR: Oprah's Gorgeous Gardener

Oprah's Gorgeous Gardener

So handsome, he has to go incognito in dark glasses and bird's nest hairpiece.

I blame this tawdry tidbit on my friends at Garden Rant, who had the gloriously bad taste to blog about Oprah's gorgeous gardener and his heavy pectoral past.

The Sydney Morning Herald liked the story, too...

Since I can't legally post Jamie Durie's pix, I'll go one better and offer you a rare glimpse of a real horticultural heartbreaker. To save him from the paparazzi, however, I must withhold his (truly) famous name.

Handsome but he needs to buzz the hair.
