Plant Delights

This weekend has been absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Andy and I are so ready for spring. It's hard to believe it's 60 something today and just last Wednesday we had a 2 hour delay thanks to more snow! Anyway, moving on...

For Christmas my grandma gave Andy and I a gift certificate for this nursery called Plants Delight in Raleigh. I happened to look in the catalog and it turned out they were having an open house this weekend so we decided to go check it out. It was really nice and the grounds were beautiful! I will say it was slightly overwhelming with all the plants they had there but we picked some up and Andy is out working in the yard right now. We've put so much time into the house now it's the yards turn. We are excited to watch these plants hopefully grow and to go back to the nursery in the springtime when they have another open house. Maybe grandma can come with us next time :o)

Here are the signs for the plants we picked to start out with (there will be pictures of what our plants look like later but these actually have flowers on them in the pictures):

I am probably most excited about this one. I hope we get to see lots of butterflies!

Yes, I picked the dark vader plant...wait until you see what Andy picked.

 

The PINK skyrockets (this looks like it will be awesome! The flowered part get slike a foot long!)

 

He also picked out these Fanfare flowers.

 So anyway, we have lots of complementary colors going on here and we really are lookicg forward to see what they will look like even a couple of years from now :o)

Here are just some more pictures I took while we were there:

These guys were so cool! Maybe next time...

And here are a couple fun ones just from around the grounds...

I must say, I really love this new point and shoot camera. Canon seriously if you are looking for a new camera is the way to go. Some day we'll have a DSLR...some day.
