Critters once thought to be extinct seem to be thriving at Bark and Garden in Olympia.
As herbivores, they must be very happy here with all the happy-looking plants.
Watch out, these teeth aren't made for foliage. The good news is that it's still a bit cool and they don't seem to be moving very quickly being cold blooded and all. Still, it's a good idea to exercise caution. Come to think of it, I didn't notice any children or gnomes running around.
Flamingos looked a bit nervous. (Taste just like chicken.)
We escaped without becoming lunch for anyone but my wallet was suspiciously lighter; my car full of greenery.
It was a pleasure to visit this huge nursery full of great plants. They'll appear in future posts as a plant-enamored gardener took a lot of pictures. Happy weekend all! May it be filled with garden adventures.
Oh Peter - you gave me the first laugh of the day! Thank you! Hope you have a wonderful weekend, too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post! I need a couple of pink flamingos, to go with my little flock of zombies. I wonder if they will be at the flower Show.
ReplyDeleteVery entertaining. Huntington Garden has a self-guided dinosaur plant tour. I must take it some day.
ReplyDeleteI love your way with words. Makes every post a delight to read to say nothing of all the photos.
ReplyDeleteThis was such a fun post from that very first photo. Those flamingos did look a tad nervous.
ReplyDeleteHave a fun weekend ~ FlowerLady
Not all herbivores. Lucky you got out with your life. Hard to swallow while laughing, even for a croc.
ReplyDeleteI love that Triceratops (even if it was just the head). I NEED one of those, and maybe a Pterodactyl or two, and possibly a Velociraptor for the bed along the street to keep a certain neighbor at bay (since it appears she's never going to sell her house...).
ReplyDeleteI love Bark and Garden! I haven't been there in quite a while. I'll have to rectify that soon.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun nursery!
ReplyDeleteThe dinosaurs look at home in the nursery: very good placement. Funny commentary too, except the part about the lighter wallet... I can't wait to see what you couldn't live without :-D
ReplyDeleteActually, I just bought a camellia and a couple of heucheras. However, there was a 4 cubic foot bale of potting soil and a few bags of begonia tubers.
DeleteThat is one way to achieve gnome control.
ReplyDeleteI hope you got some really great plants!
Hi Peter, funny post, cool nursery - although it could be thought of more as a jungle - and I love the tapestry.
