more flowers

More of my mixed-media project.

I went to the little nursery on Lincoln last week. The heat was pretty devastating to the guy's flowers, so he just gave me whatever I wanted for a dollar each, since he was going to get all new ones anyway. So I went a little nuts and picked up a miniature rose and what I think might be either a chrysanthemum or a marigold. Or are marigolds chrysanthemums? Anyone know? No label, and I forgot to ask. Also in the pipeline are some lovely daisies, a coneflower and an orchid. I just have to get this design project out of the way first.

What summer break?

I'm heading to the Volunteer Park Conservatory this weekend to break in the Wisner and visit the orchids and other cool plants there that I love so much. Their autumn plant sale is a week from saturday. I must exercise restraint this time - I bought 5 orchids at the spring sale. I keep hoping they'll have a brugmansia available. (a small one though as I don't really have room for a 12' tree at the moment).
