Plant Addict--Intervention needed!

I'm still on my garden tour high! This morning my co-worker, Pat, mentioned that she was planning to go to Devereax Gardens, a nursery several miles from our school.I really should have been going grocery shopping, but I couldn't resist going to look at plants! We wandered through the greenhouses for at least an hour. We both found plants to buy. We saw many plants that had been in the gardens on the tours! I think my total was 13 plants for $27. Of course, I'll be sharing some photos soon! Back to last Saturday's garden tour.

I really like this plant, Bat-Faced Cuphea. It comes is several colors.

Tri-Colored Iris bud with a moth.

This house was on the local historical home tour earlier this spring. I love the detail on the gable. The gardens were gorgeous too!

This gate is in the backyard of the same house. The pool pump is behind the fence and gates. There was a gardenia blooming in the backyard. It smelled wonderful. I was smitten. Pat liked it too! She bought one for each of us. She surprised me with mine this morning! She also brought a carrot cake muffin from Halepaska's for me. Halepaska's is a great local bakery. They call it a muffin, but is tastes like a big carrot-cake cupcake complete with the cream cheese frosting! She is spoiling me!
Ya'll Come Back!

  1. I love the Bat-Faced Cuphea. This pic really shows how beautiful the flower is. Such amazing color! The scent of gardinia is beautiful. I love the gates that hide the pool pump. What a fantastic idea. There's nothing uglier than pool pumps and heaters in a landscape. Have a great weekend. Hugs, Loretta

  4. I'm totally charmed by that photo of the little moth on the bud.

    Do you buy more plants in May than any other month? I do. Just keep telling yourself "this too shall pass"

  6. I dont think that is a moth...I am pretty sure that is technically called a hairstreak butterfly (leave this up to a nerd that has been up way too late). Another tell tale sign is the shape of the antennae--they are not feathery like a moth and usually a when landing a butterfly will land with its wings up and a moth with its wings spread. Here is an example of a hairstreak butterfly similar to yours:

    Nice photo though! You should make it into a card.

  7. Ooops! I never really paid that much attention to it. I often forget the even butterflies can be tiny. Thanks for the info.
    Blessings,

    Generic Viagra (sildenafil citrate; brand names include: Aphrodil / Edegra / Erasmo / Penegra / Revatio / Supra / Zwagra) is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction regardless of the cause or duration of the problem or the age of the patient.
    Sildenafil Citrate is the active ingredient used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. It can help men who have erectile dysfunction get and sustain an erection when they are sexually excited.
    Generic Viagra is manufactured in accordance with World Health Organization standards and guidelines (WHO-GMP). Also you can find on our sites.
    Generic [url=http://viagra.gertantis.ru]legal buy viagra online[/url] is made with thorough reverse engineering for the sildenafil citrate molecule - a totally different process of making sildenafil and its reaction.

    Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
    The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
