Juliarugula MissyWeitzel I actually get most of mine at Menards, same as you! Some I also pick up at Costco. Costco used to carry bags of parrot dahlia bulbs, but they havenβt had them the past several years. There are a few that still come back from those bags though. I think my doubles were about half Menards/half Costco.
Teddahlia Calibrachoa has been bred to have double flowers and this one in Margaret's basket is almost blue.
MissyWeitzel Last year I organized a greenhouse crawl and my flower friends and I had so much fun we did it again this year but with matching shirts this time! Here's my haul. I really love the plum cockatoo petunias!
Justafewdahlias MissyWeitzel I love that petunia also! Green & purple is a great flower color combination. I told myself I am done buying plants this season but I will keep an eye out for this one for next year!
MissyWeitzel There is an 8 day festival called Tulip Time in early May in Holland, MI. There are all sorts of events, tulips everywhere in the town, klompen dancers, Dutch food, and touristy stuff. I took my mom today and even though some of the tulips were past their prime, we still saw a lot of beautiful ones. We didn't go to the big touristy areas and saw plenty of blooms just walking around downtown and in Centennial park.
