Spring forward, Tuliptime and The Camellia

 It's March ...and for most of us, the only thing that gets us through to Spring is thinking Spring, and looking at TULIPS!! Of course, Holland is the Tulip capital of the world. 

 We are all craving  green, I can almost smell the odour of a freshly cut lawn......sigh. 

Now is the time to banish Winter, and add Spring to your decor. A vase of curly Willow, with colourful easter eggs makes a great display. The willow will root right in your vase. 

Hyacinths and Muscari blooms. 

Treat yourself to White Lilac shea butter Hand lotion...new stock just arrived at our store , the Camellia.

Mr. Benji is awaiting the arrival of Spring ---  and garden tomatoes. 

And the rest of us are awaiting the start of Garden season.....Pansies from Paulusma's Greenhouses, Thunder Bay. And from De Bruins Greenhouses, Highway 61, Thunder bay. 

I'm sure you are looking forward to sitting outside...warm sunshine, birdies tweeting..

Paulusma's Greenhouses, Thunder Bay, ON

I was going for a walk today, tromping along in the recent snow that we've had. Has anyone noticed how long it's staying light in the evenings now?

Yes, Summer and Gardening season is coming! And we are kind of happy to see the snow, as we can't garden without water.

Here are some photos from one of my favourite Greenhouses - Paulusma's .

Did I mention I love Kangaroo Paw? A native of Australia, I think, it has flowers that last forever. They are so sculptural and add line and form to an arrangement.

They come in all colours, and you can get the potted plants at Paulusma's. They like to stay dry, so don't over water.

There is always a large selection of tuberous Begonias in every colour.

If you like different plants, go to Paulusma's Greenhouses at 204 Belton Rd. Phone (807)767-7150. Call ahead to check hours.
