Our trip last week was to, Molbak's, one of the most incredible nurseries I've ever had the privilege of visiting! I went totally nuts with the camera and I do want to share some of the beauty with you today! What a gorgeous part of My World it is!

    Your camera loved that nursery, that's for sure! These are wonderful photos. You have me thinking of the people who live to grow these beauties. What a life! Have a great week, Sylvia!

    What a stunning place! I would have gone ballistic and come home with a truckload of plants. Aah, those hydrangeas and orchids, irresistible.

    What wonders did you bring home?

    Beautiful flowers, Sylvia! I like those blue hydrangeas. Strangely enough I also got blue hydrangeas long ago and put them in my garden, but the following year they turned pink.How can that happen? Have a great week, Sylvia!

    I loved what George B. Shaw had to say about creating rather than finding oneself. This nursery looks like a haven for plants and plant lovers who would find it irresistible to leave without adopting at least one plant from the thousands of choices!!

    What a pile of great pics. I think one of the biggest bargains in life is that nurseries are free. I love going there with Heather with my camera. I don't ever buy anything but I always take pics. It's unreal that they don't charge. Don't tell them that I said so though.

    Oh, wonderful shots!!! I've never seen such a gorgeous nursery! Once I visit here, it will be so hard to leave the place!! This is an oasis or dream land for plant or flower lovers. I especially like the first photo. How lovely! Sylvia, thank you for sharing these photos and words. Have a delightful day!

    Beautiful flower photos, Sylvia. I've been toying with the idea of putting in a waterfall in the back yard for some time now, but I can never come up with the time.

    What a wonderful world you do live in! We visited Molbacks when our youngest son and his wife lived up there and were putting in their first yard. I remember how beautiful it is -- more like a public gardens than a nursery. Your pictures are wonderful.

    I'm swooning, Sylvia! Don't we all want our gardens and plantings to look that vibrant? Wonderful images of the nursery. I'm jealous!

    Sylvia...Your flowers this week are so beautiful. That is one of the things I adore about Seattle when I am out there. They are everywhere...like the cherries. It is so hot here...gonna be 100 tomorrow. Wish I was out there right now. Your new banner is precious just like all of the others, but the idea of Mr. Ranier makes this one really special. Oh...before I forget...I am 72 and Eloise totally wore me out! I slept 4 hours straight the afternoon she left. I have never felt so tired. Loved every minute of it, but I am not the gal I was 10 years ago!!!Camp Baga was pretty intense. LOL Genie

    Yum-yummy-yum..... I like the new header. What a nice and creative header presented by your friend!

    Thank you for the introduction of a lovely nursery full of different flowers and nice quotes. There’s something I can borrow to my garden design. I’ll keep in mind “Patience is the greatest gift you can give.” Happy days ahead, Sylvia.
