I paid a visit to one of the larger plant nurseries in my neighbourhood. I lost count of the number of greenhouses under one roof. It's huge! The place was swarming with people stocking their flower and veggie gardens for the coming summer, although these pics make it seem like there was no-one there but me.

I have often thought when in a garden center, to bring along my camera. Foget every time. But wish I'd brought it. Your pics say it all. Wonderfully colourful flowers. Can't wait to plant. Actually have planted some annuals in pots.
