A World of Flowers

We had our first experience at Flower World on Friday. Oh WOW! It is a nursery covering acres and acres of land. Just the rose section had well over 50 varieties to choose from. To say I was overwhelmed is an understatement. We only had an hour to wander and pick stuff before they closed. Though it wasn't nearly enough, we were still successful in getting a load of plants.

Saturday we went to Home Depot in the morning to get more plants, decorative bark, etc. We got home at about lunch time and spent the rest of the day working on the house / yard. We added a few other flower beds to areas that were rock. Here's a list of some additions to the plant varietes we already had:

~ (Ludwig Spaeth and Charm) Lilac
~ Coneflower
~ (Popcorn) Japanese Snowball
~ Bella Deep Rose (Low ground cover)
~ (Sunfire) Coreopsis
~ (Flaming Silver, Valley Rose and Mountain Fire) Pieris
~ Scabiosa (Pincusion Daisy) (In a patio pot planter)
~ Garlic Chives (In a patio pot planter)
~ Sweet Red Bell Pepper (In a patio pot planter)
~ Hot Banana Pepper (In a patio pot planter)

These are just the ones I planted yesterday. I have about 7 more to get in the ground and I'll post those after I get the tags off of them.
