Stopping by Willow Tree Gardens and Interiors

 

 

I just happened to be in a certain neighborhood last Saturday and decided to stop by Willow Tree Gardens and Interiors (previous visits here) This sign had nothing to do with the decision!

 

It's always fun to see what's happening with  the produce truck.

And it's really producing!

Look at all those black tomatoes.  Have you grown/tasted them?  Do you like the flavor?

Hedychium 'Tahitian Flame" was sure tempting but is only hardy to zone 9. 

Their Acer palmatum 'Bloodgoods' were far ahead of mine in coloring up for fall.  Mine  still has the reddish green, pre scarlet color.

So much to love about fall.

Kitty, who would only look directly at me while I was patting him, wouldn't stay still long enough for me to get a good picture.  This is definitely an autumn colored cat!

 

 

 Ornate wrought iron always catches my attention. I don't own any and it probably wouldn't go with  the wild jungle outside our door, but there's something special about it's old fashioned look.

In the native plant area, Mahonias were in full and beautiful berry. 

A castor bean in their garden is producing seed. 

 

Lots of great things to fill pots or annual beds with for winter.

There's always an agave!  At 50% off these would be a good buy but how many Agaves 'Jaws' does one person need?

The "Interiors" part of the store is all decked out for Halloween!  The amount of work that goes into all of these displays is incredible.  Very soon, the Halloween stuff makes a quick exit and the huge display of Christmas trees and decorations will take up one of the greenhouses and the interior of the store. 

As a magpie, I do love shiny objects!

 

Happy Friday and happy weekend all!  It's going to be an exciting one for me and hopefully on Monday I'll be able to show you why!
