I like to share great websites when I find them.  Since I've been working in the nursery at Orchard Supply Hardware, I've had a few questions about plants and flowers that the garden books just didn't cover clearly enough. 


This is a great website with a bunch of great information.  If you have questions or are looking for some ideas for your garden, check it out!

Miss Hibiscus

Miss Hibiscus, one of the more showy ladies in my nursery.

Although she is very lovely, she has a delicate and inviting personality.

There are some pretty great birds in my backyard, 

the nursery where I work, but I found this Bird of Paradise in a parking lot 

in Half Moon Bay, California. 

Gorgeous!

Daisy Twins

The Daisy Twins....more lovely ladies in my nursery.  

These two stand out - you can see their sisters in the background, but they quickly snuggled together so I could get their picture.

Ms. Dahlia

This is one of the lovely ladies I work with...Ms. Dahlia.  I snapped her picture last Friday morning. The sun was just peeking into the nursery - with a smile, she turned her face to the light for the picture.

My Hummingbird Friend

It's time to share some more smiles!

This is one of my new friends....we have three hummingbirds who take turns eating from the feeder and taking baths in the fountain's bubbling top.  They are such fun to watch!

I was about two feet away when I took his picture.  He was happy to stay and drink and even do a little posing for me!
