While I didn't buy anything at the recent Northwest Flower and Garden Show/Festival I still appreciate my favorite vendors that continue to show up year after year. Christianson's hauls in quite the vast quantity of plants and plant related items.

I carried around one of those grey-leaved Grevilleas for awhile (on the floor, there's one left, behind the three green leaved ones), then I talked myself out of it.

Now that I've finally made peace with the fact there's a huge vintage market in the corner (instead of plant vendors) I actually kind of enjoy it.

After all it's better than gutter covers or hot tubs.

I should have bought one of these...
