I'm now wondering if my "ohmyword, come look at THIS" or "wowww, this is unique" finally got to her. It's dangerous to your pocketbook to flower shop with moi. I just love everything. I should be more quiet on these trips. HA.
Above you see the loot I acquired today.
Three coleus plants. This is new territory, I never buy coleus.
Herbs: lemon thyme, rosemary, & basil. Must haves.
An old fashioned favorite: vintage antique mix miniature Stock. Very fragrant flowers... a unique spicy scent. This gem was purchased at Ace on the Lake greenhouse.
Flowering Maple. I love the big fat buds. Is it trying to take a bite out of it's sibling? I hope not.
"Hip hop" Euphorbia plant makes a nice wispy filler in a large pot of flowers.
"Sunset Shades" tuberous begonia next to "Snowland" Chrysanthemum.
Flowering maple in creamy yellow. I'm in a flowering maple craze. Just ignore me. It's in your best judgement.
Teeny tiny baby's breath called "Gypsy Deep Rose" (Gypsophila). A very dainty, wispy filler plant that requires full sun.
"Apple blossom" non-stop begonias are what drew me to Deer Haven in the first place as they are the only greenhouse in town that carries that color.
I just finished schlepping this nice mix into my front porch to be safe & sound for the night.

Your greenhouse visits always turne green with envy! We just don't have the quality or variety of plants here.
I CAN'T WAIT!!!! oh my goodness, I may have to sneak in a run sometime this week....and here's a tip, last year I went to Home Depot the week before Mother's Day and got AMAZING deals on hanging plants, which I then split up for window boxes and pots. Then I could afford to buy the funky, unusual things for the rest of the planting plan!
Gorgeous choices!
I walked into the green house minding my own business and ran into Rachelle and her mother Connie. Well that was that. I knew I was going to spend more money than I intended. I did tell her that I would be telling Michael that it was aaalllll her fault :) Ya see Rachelle DOES point flowers out to me. And then I get into them as much as she does, and then it is difficult to ignore them. Take for example the coleus. I bought three of them also. I am leaning all about flowers from her and now I WANT!!!!!!!! thanks a lot Rachelle. Barb
Oh I know what it is Mr. Clemens, and it ain't flowers...at least not in the classic sense.
hahaha... Barb! I just looked at the tag and realized the coleus need FULL SHADE. Now, where to put them?
