A Trip North


Lately, the nights have been surprisingly cool, right around the freezing point. This means I'm still a bit tentative about doing too much gardening. To  keep busy, last Friday I drove north to attend the annual Plant Nerd Night. The next day, my sister and I hit the local nurseries. I got lots of inspiration while at Bauman Farms in Gervais.

This hanging heart-shaped planter had cute flowers.

Wood or ceramic? I had to check. Answer: ceramic.

Cute succulent table

Succulent wall art

This funky fountain was calling my name.

But I left without it.

Stuffed to the brim.

Fans are apparently all the rage right now.




I wanted this too.


Are these cute or what?


More fans or faux windmill parts.

I love rocks so these were really tempting.

I love that they brought Birch branches inside to complement the displays.

Such cool wall art



This golden Agave attenuata was gorgeous. I wish they would have had a small one for sale.


An oddity





My sister and I did a bunch of shopping. Below is my loot.

The big fern is Arachnoides simplicior 'Variegata'.   

From left to right, two double primrose plants, Dryopteris 'Parsley' (dormant), Chiastrophyllum oppositifolium 'Jim's Pride', Variegated Red-Veined Sorrel, Scutellaria 'Greg Starr', Iris reticulata 'Purple Gem', Saxifraga stoloniferum 'Harvest Moon', Carex 'Sparkler', Tulbaghia natalensis and Parahebe olsonii

And finally,

Ribes speciosum 'Rana Creek' (Now I have two. Notice the thorns. It will go at the back of the border.)

 Well, it's not quite spring yet but I say, who cares? 
Bring it on! I'm ready to putter. 
How about you?
