Welcome back from all your travels ...Dearest Laura,<br />Welcome back from all your travels for visiting family!<br />Knowing lots of exotic flowers comes from our work as consultants and our general interest in horticulture. We went to several botanical gardens and working in Connecticut we visited Logee's Greenhouses during weekends. They have the biggest collection of exotic and rare plants. The grandfather started this business over 100 years back. So they are our source for special plants and shrubs and they are very reasonable in price.<br />Big hug to you mi amiga con much cariño.<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-69761298013172710832013-07-28T14:50:41.421-04:002013-07-28T14:50:41.421-04:00Beste Janny,

Nature is strong and if the environment is optimal, it works. As far as humidity in Georgia is concerned, it sure must work this year. Yesterday we also had an entire dry day. We even made it back and forth to the dinner, not having to drive the 12 miles in the rain. So far today is fine too.<br />Hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-74720170146303844052013-07-28T14:40:01.983-04:002013-07-28T14:40:01.983-04:00Beste Madelief,

They have such an incredible variety and are in business over one century. Their catalog is also very unique and prices very reasonable. So we know this company for several decades now. <br />Due to the dark and rainy weather it quit blooming though. It only developed monster size leaves; so lush. <br />Hugs to you,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-8204057064606625052013-07-28T14:33:20.404-04:002013-07-28T14:33:20.404-04:00Hello my dear friend Mariette:
