It's May. Time to Plant!

I have neglected Cottage Garden Sampling's "August's Poppy" as of late.  Last night I got it out and stitched one of the roiling waves and "When the waves..." I don't know why I set it aside as I really enjoy working on it.  So it's back on my stitching rotation for sure!

The Tuesday Garden Party over at An Oregon Cottage has started up again.  I thought I'd link up and share my Saturday Floral Adventures.  

My mom, sister and I started the day of by attending the Oregon Plant Fair at Alton Baker Park. There was something for everyone. 

Veggies...

Garden Art

Hanging Baskets

And speciality vendors like Sebright Gardens.

I lost several hostas over the winter so it was great to have a super selection of plants available.

I also was seduced by some of the neat garden art.  Love the blue dragonfly suncatcher.  And what do you think of my Pileated Woodpecker?

We then availed ourselves of a second plant sale.  This one at the fairgrounds.

Again a super selection of plants for sale.

Look at these great rhododendrons.

We ended our Great Plant Adventures at Down to Earth.

I loved these clever wall hanging planters of sedums and succulents.

Statement Garden Art!

Blue hydrangeas and a bright yellow chair.

More Statement Garden Art.

When you fill up the entire back of a Volvo Station wagon and are holding a flat of plants, it's time to come home!  I returned with fuchsias and coleus...

...several dwarf conifers and agastaches...

...and lots of hostas.

I have enough to keep me busy and happy for the next several days. 

While Pickles and I have rubbed along pretty well the last few days, he will be most pleased to great 'His People' when they return home this morning.

Bye Pickles - I sure wished you'd have purred for me!
