Summer



Probably one of the favorite plants for shade...IMPATIENS. This one was done in a strawberry jar~ small one at that. Made a mistake of putting it out too early in the spring when it was still too cold and it looked a little unhappy, but it's been doing great inside the greenhouse since. In the foreground are some variegated bougainvilleas which I absolutely love. They're a great heat tolerate plant that I seem to forget to suggest to customers when they're looking for that kind of thing.













This was a angel wreath that we had by the register that was so gorgeous it was hard to see it go. The great thing about it was that it looked like it came from some great old estate, but it was new made out of fiberglass and very light...much easier to hang. The plants are from a hanging basket for the shade with potato vine and trailing coleus. Can't believe it's still here. Crazy!!!

Crazy busy!!!!


Wow ...what an amazingly busy Memorial day weekend. The weather really made a difference. I notice people are buying a lot more vegetable plants and seeds, which we all could predict would happen with the price of food. I hope the momentum keeps up, though this Saturday was less busy because it was cloudy all day. Sunday will be sunny and we'll probably be swamped. We still have a lot of great product with new things coming in all the time.

Geranium " Vancouver Centennial "

really eye catching foliage on this one. Looks great with burgandy oxalis that we grew this year. I probably like foliage more then flowers. Not sure why that is....maybe because there's never any deadheading to do.

Busy

Busy, busy ,busy getting ready for the onslot. It can be overwhelming all the things that need doing. Someone the otherday said we needed to make a list of what we needed to do....all I could think of was...why would I want to do that, then I'd really be depressed at the end of the day. Well got to get back to work....plant plant plant......
