Yesterday turned out to be a lovely sunny day, even though it
was still cold out my gardening desires kicked in.
I am longing for something green and the wonderful
aroma of things growing.
I had to have a gardening fix.
I hopped into my car and headed down to one of my
favorite greenhouses
Evergreen.
After taking in the
sights and scents, I came home with this
little guy. He was in the TLC section marked down
from $12.99 to $2.77.
It's called a
Begonia Rex "Escargot"A variety from the Netherlands.
The name comes from their leaves which curl in on themselves
to resemble snail shells.
I did some reading and he should
bloom in autumn,
though some articles said red while others said pale
pink. I'm not picky, either will be fine by me.
I pulled this picture for Google Images...
hopefully one day he will look like this.
I also snagged a
Birds Nest Fern. I've wanted one
for a while now.
This is a plant I've had for about a year, can't remember
for the life of me what it is called.
I cut it back at the start of winter and it is
beginning to bloom.
If you are a
gardener and need a
fix go visit
Blast of Color.
Oh to visit Prince Edward Island!
