First I had every intention on posting this yesterday morning. Most times I have that intention and then I kept browsing images and keep finding more and more…then I tried to find sources and the next thing you know it was afternoon & I ended up drafting the post for today.

Searching landscaping images turned into a blackhole for me. It just goes to show how much time blogging takes especially for a full time worker like me who has to juggle clients and a life.

But… .gosh how pretty are floral bushes? I have a newfound respect for people that spend the time and money landscaping their yards this way. So muxh goes into it and I have no clue where to start so when I buy this weekend, I will have my parents help me…

Ever since I went to Arizona last summer for vacation, I am really fond of desert plantlife. Agave plants are my absolute favorite. I realized I never posted about the hotel I stayed in. I also never posted some projects I’ve done. I need to get it together.

I also like a layered large pot. I think this is probably what I’m going to do for the patio in the backyard. I want to layer and fill two modern looking pots and set them on the edge…

I still love me some tropical plants. I would have to make sure the ones I pick are something that can go outside…
