A Visit to Cistus Nursery
I rarely go to nurseries anymore since I work part-time at one and another reason being that I don't have much room for additional plants. When a garden fanatic runs out of room, the brain goes into overdrive, dreaming up ingenious ways to incorporate more plants. And another thing happens - a burning desire to obtain rare and unique plants. I've been moving plants around, a tricky process that has a domino effect. A plant is unhappy - it is getting too much shade or perhaps too much sun. There is a plant that did not get as large as you thought it would or it is just a slow grower and now it is hopelessly hidden behind a taller plant. Sometimes a plant is just a dud for reasons unknown (Rhododendron 'Golden Gate' anyone?). I find the plant in question a better home, but it means that another plant will have to be moved. And the merry-go-round continues to turn... However, for those plants that are to be discarded, a space opens up for a new one! I decided to move a Mou...
Wow, I'm so jealous! I would have loved that :D
ReplyDeleteWow! I could kick myself for not going to that! I even read about it on another blog, but never considered going. DUH!
ReplyDeleteI wish I knew about that. I LOVE fashion. Saw the lvediYSL exhibit when I was in Montreal. Works of ART!!!! 98% of the clothes are wearable today. Totally classic.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ... to me timeless in their appeal with exception to what must be beneath to get those tiny waists! ;>)
ReplyDeleteI love seeing fashions throughout the ages. Very interesting how some things change and others remain almost identical. Fun!
ReplyDeleteWow! Where is it showing? Frist, TPAC? I am going to Nashville Friday and would love to see this while i'm there. In another life, I wanted to be a designer..... How I ever ended up a banker/rose gardner, i'll never know!!!!! ha.
ReplyDeleteIt was at the Frist Center but I'm sorry to tell you that Sunday the 12th was the last day. We just barely made it!
ReplyDeleteI would have gone MAD!! Fashion is NOT my forte. I have little interest in it. Don't get me wrong. I want to dress nice...and appropriately. But walking a museum of clothing. Total boredom. Glad someone enjoys it, though. Somebody has to make these designers rediculously rich.

I think this would have been interesting but I would have enjoyed seeing the rose in the last post even more. You are a good sport.
