I’ve been buying plants again….

After my birthday dinner, we stopped into Home Depot since we were in the area. While Dave was poking around the lightbulb aisle, I snuck over to the house plants.

And I snapped up this pretty pink Anthurium. I don’t feel at all guilty about it because it’s to replace my previous pink Anthurium which died this summer. My white and red ones are doing well, but the pink one just wasn’t as robust I guess.

And then…. over by the Christmas cactus…

I found a Hellebore!!!! You may recall, Hellebores are early spring woodland plants. They were selling these in pots as “Christmas Belles” or “Christmas Roses”. And it was 1/3 of the price that I’ve seen Hellebores at.

You can bet this one is getting planted out in the Woodland garden as soon as it’s warm enough to work the soil come Spring!

And last (which I got a couple of weeks ago) I got an Amaryllis.

I got it planted late, so it won’t bloom in time for Christmas. You can see the new shoot is just starting to poke up. But that’s okay – it’s something to look forward to in the new year.
