Had lots of fun at the show! Today was the last day of the show and I made a point of asking the people manning the displays if they were selling their display plants. Most of them were selling for $5 per plant (heucheras specifically). Next year I will be going back again on the last day of the show and will bring more cash for these purchases. I was able to pick up one of the Gold Lace Junipers (very big plant in a very big pot) for $18 which I was very happy about. I think I could have gotten 4 Plum Pudding heucheras for that if I had tried. Also got a baby Winterberry Holly for $5 and two mini Iris reticulata for $5.

My son got tons of business cards, magnets, and pens. He was happy!

Usually we spend more time in the orchid show than the garden show. Not this year. I think the petting zoo was a bad addition to the building. :( We kind of rushed through the displays because the building smelled like livestock.

3. The display with the Gold Lace juniper that I bought. Tete-a-tete daffodils and Plum Pudding heucheras accent beautifully.
4. Look at those begonias!
5. Coleus, coleus, coleus, Marmalade heuchera
