Flower Show

  This weekend i went to the annual flower and garden show, While there i noticed they had a bonsai and orchid exhibit, they were all gorgeous! So I thought i might share some with you!

They had a large selection of orchids all gorgeous!

Natures amazing!

Japanese Maple tree again, They were teaching classes on bonsai's as well! This one was 20 yrs old!

Force Blooming,

  A great way to bring fresh spring color into the house before spring does is, force blooming with branchs.. It tricks the branchs into things its spring.  Simple!

Red Twig dog wood in our vintage glass milk jug we found under our house.

Once you choose and cut your branchs bring them indoors and placing the stem ends immediately in water. I used a old glass milk jug but anything will work.

Next you want to make sure the branchs get plenty of water the best method is to make a slit or two in the bottom of the stem before placing in the water. You can place alittle plant for in the water to help cocks the plant out, make sure you keep the water clean often.

Then place the branchs in bright, but indirect, light.

Some branchs you can use are Hawthorns, Honeysuckle shrub, Forsythia, Apple, Cherry or Peach trees and Lilacs. I Used a red twig Dogwood. Just experiment and have fun!

A notch in a Log.

I enjoy succulents and have a couple different varieties growing in the yard, So i was thinking of some ideas were i could use them in unique ways so here is one of them.



I found this log while going threw our fire wood pile, to think we would have burned this little gem!




I filled the opening with succulent soil
 (surprisingly stays in well) then planted the succulents and covered with moss. Easy.. 



Bohemian style.

I've been doing some research online to try and get some ideas this spring for my patio! While i was on there i noticed a large amount of bohemian styles, I think i might take some notes!
