What's Blooming...Shopping Edition!

Welcome to my favorite place to shop for the garden, 

The Flamingo Road Nursery.

 I figured this was the perfect place to kick off our week-long

shopping extravaganza while still showing you the flora of Florida!

I love a store with well thought out threats.

Come on, I'll take you through the place.

Since we aren't fully decorated yet over here, you guys are blissfully unaware of my 

penchant for large tin animal sculptures.

This entire place is open air, and I recommend arriving in a truck.

Ohhhhhhhh, have I got the blues...

Orchids, buy one, get one half off. How does a girl decide???

Here's a handy carnivorous plant to help slash the mosquito population!

I am also a huge fan of water features. They lower your mental temperature 

on a hot summer day like nothing else.

This would make a dandy hedge around the house, don't you think?

Container choices...

I'll take THAT one!

...and that one, and that one, and that one, and...

There's also a lushly overgrown butterfly house, with these little lovelies wafting about.

(How to tell you're in the butterfly house. Handy, huh?)

There are DOZENS of these little sheds around the property doused in tropical colors, each containing a themed array of merchandise.

Um, yeah, my favorite.

Somebody go get a shopping cart.

Now to the north we have...

Hot sauce on a Christmas tree. I'm totally behind this idea.

Hunting in a baited field is just wrong.

But how can you resist the roaster garlic hummus after a few free sample. 

I'm surprised they didn't charge us for lunch.

 

Happy Sunday.
