Last week I got the pleasure of going to another greenhouse and going standard shopping. It took me awhile to find someone to show me the new stock that had just arrived (it was everywhere) and I was looking for specific things. Eventually though, I snagged someone and we walked around and I discovered some neat things amongst many hibiscus standards, Mandevilla vines and dipladenias.

Texas Sage. Nice little standard. I only got six of these and already they're walking out of the door.

Shrimp Standard. Florida Amercians know this one because it's a very steady and known plant down south. Up here, it doesn't necessarily grow fast but it holds the blooms for a long time and in a standard, it's really really different.

So I whacked my knee off my son's bed. the crib broke last night beyond repair and he knocked his milk offthe table this morning (which the dog proceeded to clean for me). Just a side note, if you ever have a baby, have a dog first. Having a dog around when youhave a baby isn't just nice, it's really really handy. I swear, I'd be cleaning everything up off the floor everyday if it weren't for the dog. Im now taking the position of secondary cleaner, after the dog licks it up, I clean it (with all natural cleaner - not hard chemicals - another thing to think about when having babies and dogs).
