Nursery Visit Part 2

Back to the nursery.

I had to look the name of this one up;

it's Scaevola.

Seeing this Veronica spicata 'red fox'

makes me want to try growing it  again.

I purchased the gallon size

which was a bit expensive,

and it up and died. 

Penstemons.

This pudgy little hummingbird

was zipping around everywhere

snatching gnats in midair.

Chocolate cosmos.

It really does smell like sweet chocolate.

I had one at our Napa home,

and would like to have another here.

They had it in the filtered shade section,

but in Napa (milder climate) it grew in the sun.

 I wish I could have found it in a smaller, 

less expensive size.

Columbine 'Woodside Gold'

for brightening up shade gardens.

This is extremely high on the 

wish list, but it would also 

have to be put down on the lawn

area with new garden beds surrounding it...

I'm sure that's not something my 

dear sweet 'you know who' would

like to hear right now, what with 

all the projects going on around here.

His 'to do' home improvement 

list is non stop lately.

I like seeing what plant combinations

are used for the large pots.

This is Abutilon pictum 'Mardi Gras'.

I see it has beautiful blooms after 

searching for the correct spelling online.

More potted plant combo's.

This one is my favorite.

Lastly some more bee photos,

Just because I love them.
