Keeping Up With AmyLouLa

Pam's Jade

A little something I put together for Pammie. She had been looking for a jade plant, and this little bonzai version seemed perfect. She loved it.

My New "Babies"

I found a nursery that reminds me of my favorite nursery in California, Burkard's. It's called Lukas Nursery and I love it. Got this gorgeous camelia, the two pots and the geranium. I can't wait for the camelia to bloom. It's "Carter's Sunburst." Should be glorious.

So Succulent

Saw this hanging basket in Laguna Beach last month, and had to snap a picture. I love the arrangement, and it just goes to show you that gardeners are so creative sometimes!

Pam's Modern Garden

Pam's going for a clean, modern look in her apartment. I like it!

Mom's Gardenia

I found the cutest little miniature gardenia at the Epcot Flower & Garden Festival. I had to make a mini-garden for her. Or perhaps a "Minnie" garden!

Basil Birthday

Happy birthday to my friend Mike, who loves to cook. Here's a great herb to add to his kitchen! Happy Birthday, my friend!

This Makes Me So Happy

My Tropicana Gold canna lily has bloomed. I've been waiting 6 months for it. It was worth the wait.

Wagons, Ho! Part 2

NOW it's complete.

Wagons, Ho!

Another mini garden. Now all I need is a miniature Jessie or Woody from Toy Story 3 to ride along in the wagon. I love kitsch, and it doesn't get more kitschy than this ceramic tchotchke I bought at a Knoxville thrift store years ago. It's finally found its purpose!

Boo

This is my second attempt at a mini garden, and I love it. Yep, that's Boo from Monster's Inc. peeking out of the foliage. This one is for my friend Pam at work, who loves Boo. More minis to come.
