Avant Gardener's Paradise

Photobucket

A spectacular geranium. Will have to take this one home. Greenlot was once a fushia nursery so they still have dozens of varieties. Will have to design a unique way to plant them at eye level around the outside of the house, since i want one of each.

Green is the colour...



Another fabulous day, deep blue sky, perfect temperature. Got word that, one way or another, the house will mine tomorrow. Got the utilities lined up, then spent the afternoon chatting with the owners of two small local nurseries. Lovely people that i'm looking forward to doing business with and learning from. Sat with the nice lady at the Greenspot and talked for almost an hour. She had a nice selections of brugs. The first one i want has beautiful velvety variegated leaves with an orange flower.

Heaven Sounds the Trumpets



Saw an 20' tall lush, loaded Angel Trumpet tree (brugmansia sp.) yesterday, and emitted an involuntary squeal of delight. Have been trying to find out for years if they'd grow here. It thought they might since palms do so well here. Exciting, because they are my favorite flowering tree and am interested in collecting exotic tropicals. Yippie!

Eureka

Might be living in one of these houses. And the rented car that's getting me around.

FOUND IT>LOST IT>GOT IT BACK

So....
Another lifetime begins. The magic appears to be working. Synchronicity is happening again.
Love it when that happens.
