plants......

ok, so aside from paris and my own yard there are few places that i'd rather be on any given afternoon than in a nursery.....and today i ventured to lexington to w.b. pemberton and sons, a 125 year old nursery off georgetown road just inside new circle road with my friend bettie....not a glorious day for plants......torrential downpour...but luckily this place has several acres under cover in greenhouses.....and plenty of the unusual to pique my interest and open up my pocketbook.......i bought a geranium that likes to be trellised, along with a copper form, some peachy trailing verbena, a white plant that resembled larkspur were it not an annual.....lots of wonderfully different things.....including a shrimp plant, very similar to the one we loved at krohn converatory in cincinnati......spent too much money, but not enough to keep me from going back soon for those plants that i wished i had gone ahead and bought...............i love plants, did i mention that?

I don't think I have ever heard of that nursery. How exciting! Your fellow plant addict.

ok, so i forgot to even mention the grown trees in pots......when my ship comes in i believe i could make room for a lime tree in terracotta......if you want to make a pilgrimage i am always up for a repeat visit......
