Primula Orchid Primrose In A Field Of Color




The weather forecast for the last two days called for temperatures in the upper 60s and low 70s ~ enough to give a person Spring Fever and the desire to get out in the garden. However, as "Midwesterners," we know that Mother Nature routinely plays April Fool pranks on us!




I enjoyed shopping at this wonderful nursery on Saturday afternoon ~ Piney Ridge Greenhouse in Johnston, Iowa.
Although I did not purchase anything, I will definitely return for more shopping. The plants were healthy and the nursery was immaculately clean!




I will admit ... I bought four pots of Forget~Me~Nots from another retailer earlier in the day on Saturday. They will require loving care and a warm environment before planting in May as the last average frost date for Iowa is May 10th to May 15th.
