News & Availability @ PAO: The Perennials have arrived....

The Perennials have arrived....

It is lovely to work in a nursery (some days - today being one of them).  I love all the different vibrant colours of all the different leaves on the trees.  The lime greens of the beech trees, the yellow green of the maples and the bright reds of the Japanese Maples.  The light green new growth on the yews an spruce.  I was out on the farm taking pictures of the Crabapple blooms and some Robins are busy building a nest nearby. They certainly didn't want me near them as they were doing close fly bys around my head! I can move on you crazy birds - there are other photo ops out here!  The tri-colour beech are starting to leaf out - got a neat picture of that.  And the lilacs - I know there are a billion pictures out there of them but the frangrance lured me to them.  Due to the mild winter everything is coming back so nicely. It is nice to see.  However, along with the leaves and blooms - out come the bugs.  I am not a big fan of flies.

Some of our perennials are doing their thing.  I like the 'Touch of Class' Jacobs Ladder we received - as well as some cool sempervivums.  See the pictures below.  So many pictures to take and not enough time.  The Hostas and the ground covers have arrived and and are now sitting beside the ferns that are just starting to show green.
