protea

I keep passing by all these luscious blooming cherry trees in my neighborhood and plotting to come back in the dark of night and cut some branches from my neighbors trees. Rather than get caught up in a tree with a pair of gardening shears, I could just buy some longer lasting decorative branches and flowers from Nettleton Hollow. They have a great selection of branches, grasses and flowers, which arrive fresh at your door and can be dried to last indefinitely. I was happy to see they have the fuzzy and pink Protea, my new favorite flower. I also dig these crazy octopus-like rams head pods, they would make a really unusual centerpiece. Check out the site for more images to inspire your floral creativity!

We’re having a June Gloom day here in SF so to cheer myself up I was perusing the magnificent flower gallery at Annie’s Annuals Nursery. Tia told me about Annie’s and her obsession has now become mine after visiting there on Sunday. It’s in Richmond, not the best hood but so worth the trip. There is a massive selection so it’s a good idea to go with a garden plan. I bought some Echinacea, Sage, Datura and Bachelor Buttons, which are all deer proof flowers. Now I am patiently waiting for them to grow, I’ll post pictures once they come in. P.S. If your green thumb is out of state she ships within the U.S.
