It's hard to resist buying plants at the flower and garden show. Maybe next year I'll actually make good on my vow to buy fewer, or none.
A couple of vendors had some really beautiful Hellebores, and even though I have a handful, I felt like I needed more.

Like
its display at the Tacoma Home and Garden Show, Bark and Garden had a
beautifully laid-out and large display of plants for sale
|
|
How can you say no to this 'Peppermint Ice' Hellebore? |
|
Or this? Look at the size of this flower next to my hand! |
|
This large Aeonium 'Sunburst' was $99.99 |
|
I love the two-tone foliage of this juniper |
|
Abies nordmaniana 'Golden Spreader' -- gorgeous color, and they had it in several sizes |
|
Agave 'Baccarat' got my attention -- I looked it up on my iPhone and it
was more wet-tolerant and hardier than the Agave americana that I
recently lost |
|
Abutilon 'Tiger Eyes' appeared in a couple of display gardens |
So, here's what I bought.
|
Helleborus 'Peppermint Ice', Helleborus 'Charlotte' (she of the enormous blooms), Saxifraga 'Early Pink Heart', two Delosperma 'Firespinner' (pink and orange flowers) |
|
Saxifraga 'Early Pink Heart' |
|
Fatsia japonica |
|
Juniperus squamata 'Floriant' |
|
Agave 'Baccarat' and Yucca filamentosa 'Color Guard' |
|
The plant itself was looking just a bit beaten up, but I just love those filaments! I should have bought two. |
Have you bought any new plants recently?
