Flower Day

We picked a freezing cold day to go to the greenhouse for flowers.  It was my daughter's day off and she wanted to go with us.  I love to go to this greenhouse.  It is about a 45 minute drive and they have what seems like miles of flowers at very good prices.

We got a hanging basket of purple petunias for my mother-in-law,  a hanging basket of red stripe petunias for me, a flat of impatiens, some tomatoes, a lavendar plant, and a basil plant.  The impatiens will fill 2 pots on the deck and 2 hanging baskets.
I tried to limit our spending a lot this year.  We are on a budget, no impulse buying.
This is enough to add some color along with the perennials I already have.

Little Miss had a great time.  We had to visit all the birdbaths, yard and garden statues, and all the fake animals in the place.  Are these big animals to put in your yard?  A deer or a gnome, sure....but a tiger or an elephant?
                               
(sorry this picture is blurry....no idea what happened)


A cow maybe?

Our Little Miss had to pick out a flower to take home to her Momma ( my DIL).  Pink of course!

Hope it is warmer where you are.  

Til next time,
Peace

    It's chilly, gray, and rainy here. Your GD is adorable!

    It sounds like a fun day for you and the girls. I restrained myself this year in buying plants. I ended up with only 3 red geraniums and a pre-potted bowl of flowers for the trailer steps. The budget doesn't like plants that die off every year. :-)
    Blessings,

      Perenniels are definitely a better investment when you have limited funds.

    What a cutie! Near me there is a lovely, large home that has a cow like that in their front yard. They decorate her for different holidays and seasons.

      The cow would be fun to have, especially in the country.
