Big Bloomers Flower Farm, water plants

Howdee all,

When visiting my Sicksta in North Carolina I always like to visit Big Bloomers Flower Farm. Sicksta works at Big bloomers and she gives me the tour.

I was fascinated by these large planters with water plants in them.

The plants were set in the pots in groupings..each plant in their own pot with gravel on top to weight it down.birds and big bloomers_055

If I had a garden.….I would love to have a few pots of these water plants.birds and big bloomers_054

The colors were bright

Ok..so…I didn't take notes..and I cant tell you what plants these are… but I am sure you could call Big Bloomers to find out….birds and big bloomers_050This type of garden would need to come indoors for the winter.birds and big bloomers_049

I thought this was a fabulous way to use water plants…

I have been busy with gardening and shopping with Mom.

The robins have left the nest..bluff pt, mom and dads_008 I found one in a nearby tree waiting to be fed.

I may not be blogging as much this summer…

I am taking a bit of a break from Facebook, twitter and blogging.

So instead of everyday…you may see me a few times a week or less..

Have a Wonderful summer!
