Neighbours talking over the garden gate has long been a tradition. They share gardening tips, complain about the weather and pests yet are ever eager to discuss their gardens. That is what I had in mind when creating this blog. So stop by my garden gate to find out the latest happenings in my garden.

Happy Gardening!

Unidentified Flower in Las Vegas

Unidentified Flower in Las Vegas
May 9, 2011

One thing we have not done in Las Vegas is wander through a nursery.  This beautiful flower that I think is a member of the orchid family was a common planting at several Las Vegas casinos.  It was quite pretty so next time we visit Las Vegas I am going to make a point to go through a couple of plant nurseries.  Surprisingly when trying to identify plants many overlook visiting plant nurseries and yet these are one of the most valuable resources there are.  I visit plant nurseries at home and in central Florida where our vacation home is quite often.  I just didn't think about it in Las Vegas because there was a lot of other attractions and activities.  If you know the name of this flower could you please leave a comment.  I'd like to find out what it is to see if I could plant them at our vacation home.

Happy Gardening!
