Staghorn Ferns

I have been planning to make mounted staghorn ferns for the store for a long time, but I have never gotten around to it. Last week I finally went in the woods near my house and collected some wood from fallen tree branches to make the bases.

One has a pink, vermilion and gold pattern, and the other one has a turquoise, neon yellow, and gold pattern... I'm really happy with how they came out!

Terrain at Styer's

Terrain at Styer's is about an hour away from my house, and I like to go out there every few months and wander around and not buy anything. There are a bunch of small buildings on the property and they do all sorts of cool design-y plant things, like this staghorn fern display. I love staghorn ferns- I am worried that one would not be happy living on my balcony though. This goes on the list of plants I will have when I own a house. 

This building is covered with rows of Wooly Pockets- the blue and purple flowers look really pretty. 

Rock garden with cold-hardy succulents. The cobweb sempervium are one of my favorite weird succulents. At my old job, I had one in my office, and someone threatened to cut the cobweb part off when she was mad at me.

I almost bought one of these carnivorous pitcher plants- they had a whole bunch of these hanging up and they were huge and amazing. When I have more space I am getting one. (Side note: apparently they can eat mice. Which is disgusting. I did not watch the Youtube video.)
