A big box store that is. Each year, in the late summer there is a wistful feeling at the sight of the removal of the plant corral in the parking lot of our local Home Depot so the recent sight of the temporary fencing taking up quite a bit of parking space is a sure sign of the beginning of a new growing season. There was nothing particularly exciting out here yet, just basic plants but last year, several shipments of huge succulents, bananas, palms and other exciting offerings appeared.

Since the Depot and Lowe's are in proximity, I hopped over to see what was adorning their shelves. Forgot which of these was at which store.

Narcissus 'Precocious' is a lovely thing if you're fond of "pink" daffodils. The thought of bringing a nice big pot of these home to enjoy crossed my mind momentarily but the mission this day was to get supplies to fix the hose on the recirculating pump in my pond. Despite what the weather is doing, spring is definitely arriving!

Inside, the painted plants made me smile. Someone must like this look.
Looks like the straw flowers glue gunned to cacti practice is alive and well too.
There were also some nicer things as well.
Back outside, cold season vegetables.
An abundance of spring color.

Daffodils and grape hyacinths are a great combination.
