boise flower & garden show 2011

i almost didn’t go this year but i’m glad i did. the weather has been so rainy and so crappy lately, it was a nice break to step into this giant building where it’s (simulated) late spring/early summer and everything’s in bloom.







i wish i had the patience to grow a bonsai tree. maybe someday.








^ my mom pointed out that these orchids look like beaker from the muppets.

^ neat repurposing of an old chicken feeder. there was a long stretch of tables filled with creative planters--a golf club bag, for instance, and a kitchen sink. i'd love to find a vintage clawfoot bathtub someday and plant things in it...actually i'd need to find two, because if i found just one i'd probably use it as a bathtub.
