Museum Nursery

When I think of Museum I don't think of nurseries and vice versa. This last weekend we were on our final push to get all the plants. Tomorrow, Louis from Brothers Landscape, will come and begin the garden work. We hope to plant by next Saturday.

Sunday we went to Simpson's nursery and they also boast as having a car museum and it was darn impressive. It would have been so much easier to go to one nursery, give them a list and then have them deliver. But then we would not have had the opportunity to visit these wonderful places.

We are almost done with the exception of a few species of plants and one tree. We have finally decided upon the Crepe Myrtle 'Muskogee'. It is a beautiful tree that has purple flowers.

Pop Quiz: Is it Crape Myrtle or Crepe Myrtle? I have seen it both ways. First person to answer correctly gets a gold star. Unfortunately I have no clue if you are correct or not.

So far we have 150 pots to plant. Actually Louis had 150 pots to plant, not sure if he knows what he has got himself into ☺.

Yes those are real, they just don't work

Yep that looks familiar

Dirk Pitt's garage should be like this if it really exists!

Great comment K - very true. I would not mind owning any of those cars.

K- I never thought about Dirk Pitt, what a great comment.

Tank- unfortunately I don't think either one of us could afford them :(

It is crepe because the flowers allegedly look like crepe. Nice cars. Send my gold star on the back of a $100 bill.

Thank you for the clarification. Do you want the gold star placed on the photo copy of the $100 bill or photo copied with the $100 bill?

Sorry, I only accept authentic. IF you want to counterfeit, send it ti Tank. He has the connections.
