You are very welcome. Even though I didn't find the plants I wanted it was still fun!

Okay!! You’ve convinced me!! I’ve got to take a field trip to Green Acres!! 😂😂😂 you are my garden spirit animal lol 😂 If I weren’t leaving to Nashville Sunday to visit my daughter, I’d be on my way over to Elk Grove! 💃🏼

Have a safe trip. Going to the Elk Grove Green Acres makes for a great day trip.

Wow, never heard of this place. Apart from the TV show.

They put one in Texas this past year and they are all over the Sacramento region. Lovely place to shop for plants. This one is my favorite, so far.

I am soooo jealous about the agapanthus!!!! If I found one for $8, it would be gone like the wind. I see them in pots all the time English gardening. BTW, I have overwintered my dishonorable for 2 years. You can do it by keeping them moist!

[@FlowerPatchFarmhouse]

Good to know! I will do that.

[@lisab.6818]

Sorry Pam, the word is dishonorable. Also, I bought red campion seeds, winter sowed them and they didn't make it. I didn't use them all of them, should I threw some seeds in my bed this fall?

[@FlowerPatchFarmhouse]

@@lisab.6818 I would, so many of my flowers reseed themselves and that is usually in Fall. So I would say give it a whirl, I like to mimic nature as it makes such sense. 🙂

Oh how I miss "the hunt" because we are going to be selling our home after loving my garden for 20 years so no new plants that would be left behind. I did put in two hibiscus this year but I will be potting them up and bringing them with me. The "Angel Eyes" and " Candy Crush" the blooms are the size of a dinner plate. Some of my roses are already potted up ready to go. Collecting seeds and taking lots of photos to capture the memories. Do you have any hibiscus? I also have pink, white and blue chiffon Rose of Sharon. Love them all but so do the Japanese beetles. I wage war every day with my bucket of soapy water and plucking them off. Thank you for a great video! I looked up the Dragonfruit Sunblaze Rose it is so sweet, no wonder you would like one for your garden.

I have one dinner plate hibiscus. I have had it in the Entrance Garden for about 20 years now. I don't get blooms until September on any of them so I gave all but that one away, the Disco Belle maroon one. They took up too much space without giving many blooms in my climate so though I loved them they were not going to work for me. Wait, I almost forgot, I also have a Luna variety that I grew from seed too. It is still in a pot out back. It got spider mites so bad I thought I lost it.

I was just there! Someday we will run into to each other, I’m sure. Have you shopped at Big Oak Nursery on Grantline? They have a really nice selection of plants and trees.

[@FlowerPatchFarmhouse]

Not yet, I will have to look them up. Always on the look out for more sources. Many carry what others do not. Thanks for the tip!
