Morris County Farms

Thankfully, for my wallet’s sake, there are no nurseries like this near me.

I’ve seen heron fountains and frog fountains, but I’ve never seen an otter fountain. Have you?

Not all of the greenhouses were filled with plants. Some had aisles and aisles of holiday décor, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas.

This was taken with my cell phone but it still looks good. It was even better in person. I have a terrible weakness for glass Christmas ornaments. I promised myself that I would only make a purchase if I found something really, really unusual. What were the chances, right?

Two words: Big Ben

And, of course, every greenhouse needs a cat.

This one was named “Oz”.

Blooming in My Garden

Anemone x hybrida ‘Honorine Jobert’

Aster novae-angliae ‘Purple Dome’
I'm so thrilled to see my New England Aster blooming. I've been trying to grow them from bare roots ordered from various catalogs for many years. Last year, I bought a plant from Well Sweep Herb Farm. I've had my fingers crossed all summer that it would bloom. It didn't disappoint.
