Felly's Flowers

We took a walk through the local greenhouse today. Greenhouses make me happy. They remind me of good times I had working at a greenhouse back in Green Bay. Flowers make me smile, and they inspire me to want to come home to create beautiful things, and plant, plant, plant.

I love all the flowers, but I do have my favorites. I love Geraniums for example, but the hot pink ones are my favorite.

I could spend all day wandering around in here.

I also love Dahlias, especially the Dinner Plate variety.

James loves the Venus Fly Traps. We had one last year that we stuffed with flies, it was so much fun. Unfortunately it croaked when our cold Wisconsin winter set in. James was devastated.

James also loves the Pitcher Plant. This is a native plant to the bogs of Northern Wisconsin. The "Pitchers" fill with rainwater that attracts bugs. The "lid" closes trapping the bug inside for the plant to digest. It is very similar to the Venus Fly Trap. Fascinating isn't it?

Ben loved the tropical display.

The boys have plans to decorate their room like a jungle. Complete with a tikki hut and smoothie bar. We'll see how that works out. I love the bright green Draceana. It makes me happy.

Ted loved the Calalillies. We both loved the yellow ones. I have a thing for yellow.

Now that we have our selections, tomorrow we will plant!
