The plant gods have smiled upon me.
I won the most amazing prize. The plant gods have smiled upon me. Get this... I won... a $100 gift certificate from Santa Rosa Gardens from An Obsessive Neurotic Gardener's website. I literally almost fainted when I found out that I had won. Thank you, thank you to ONG, aka John, who is the writer behind An Obsessive Neurotic Gardener. I really can't thank him enough for hosting such an amazing giveaway. If you don't follow his garden blog, you should. He has a great sense of humor with an expansive knowledge of ornamental grasses and native plants. He's the only gardener that I read that is a little (obsessed) with grasses. Which is pretty cool in my book because I don't know squat about grass! I ordered the following with my gift certificate prize. I am so beyond excited!
When I received the package in the mail, it was like Christmas in April! Everything was so nicely packed.
When I took all the tissue paper off, I saw that everything was wrapped in this protective netting. Totally impressive that they took the care to wrap everything so nicely.
Here are all the plants with the netting off. I can't wait to start planting these in the yard. I don't know where everything will go yet. I only know where the blue hydrangea will be planted. I have a spot in the front yard for that beauty. The two lemon grass plants will be potted in a container. I think that will be very nice on our patio. Do you grow lemon grass? Where did you plant yours?

That's awesome! I am so jealous! I LOVE hydrangeas and tulips are my fav! Those white ones are awesome!
ReplyDeleteI grow lemongrass in containers around the yard...the dogs and cats like to nibble it!
Congratulations!! What a nice selection of plants! I have always wanted to plant some lemon grass, but always seem to forget to buy it. I think putting it in containers on your patio is a great idea! Maybe I will steal that idea :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats! these all look terrific!
ReplyDeleteCongrat's to you;-) I will get your box composter sent out this weekend. I was away most of the week and now I'm sick! If for some reason my hubby cannot get to the post office today I will do it next week;-)
ReplyDeleteWow! What a great prize. Enjoy the plants.
ReplyDeleteONG has a great site.
Congratulations.:) We are hoping to pick up some lemon grass at the farmers market this year if they are selling it again and I also look forward to seeing how yours grows. Enjoy that gift certificate...how neat.
ReplyDeleteWow that is fabulous! Have fun planting everything.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome prize! Im so jealous! Cant wait till you post where your planting them all!
ReplyDeleteCongratulation! It couldn't have happened to a nicer blogger! I agree too - he writes a great blog...
ReplyDeleteHave fun with all your lovely newbies!
OH! A blue hydrangea, I love those!!! We can't grow them here, it's too cold. Congrats on the win, too cool!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! What exciting fun.
ReplyDeleteCongrats. An awesome win.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for winning such an awesome prize! I grow lemon grass in a pot. It's not a perennial here in zone 5. I'm trying to remember what zone you are. I bought a nice sized lemon grass at the plant sale I went to Saturday. I haven't planted it yet. I was thinking about looking into planting it in the ground this year.
ReplyDeleteWOW! I am JEALOUS! You are so lucky to have won that! I know you'll love your plants - can't wait to see your pictures of the blooms!
