Time to make something beautiful.

Every year my aunt comes to visit and stay at my parents for a few months. She usually comes in May with the soul purpose to garden her heart out. Every spring their yard explodes into a wonderland of textures and colors. Just about every week she and whomever her garden accomplice is at the time goes to a new greenhouse to fill the back seat of her car. This week I was the accomplice.

When we arrived at the Baldwin Greenhouse just off of highway 83 I was so impressed. Not only did they have a vast and beautiful selection but everyone had a little wagon to gather their handpicked favorites. It was so cute! I was mesmerized by the Black Petunia. It looked like it was cut from black velvet. One of the ladies working said, “well if you think ​that's neat you need to see the Night Sky Petunia.” They even brought me a stool so I could stand taller to take a better look.

Everyone at the greenhouse was extraordinarily friendly. I didn't know that garden people were so nice but apparently that's a thing. Everyone was so willing to help and show me all their favorites. I had a blast and came home with 4 succulents, a tomato plant and a small basil plant.

How much did my aunt get? Well, let's just say we filled the back of the car……..again :)

What is your favorite flower? ​
