Always makes my heart beat wildly...... ;)
Prices were on the high side however so our pocketbooks were relatively safe....
Though spring outside was rather dreary...our spirits seemed to soar in here
One last beauty we eyed a number of times
Lovely! Thanks for taking us on the tour too. :)
It should be interesting to see what comes into that greenhouse this year......it was bought out by Dutch Growers in Saskatoon so we are expecting big changes and better selection now! Ü Prolly higher prices too tho.
Moose Jaw's larger greenhouse is also going in on purchases from the States with Dutch Growers..........Imma praying that the same old, same old will be a thing of the past now.
Looks like you and Joelle had alot of fun. Beautiful flowers!

Now you made me want a Miltonia. Those are gorgeous.

Maybe next year. And I won't order any perennials from anywhere. I'd come out way ahead.
I loved this GH! It is huge! Well to me it is. Great selection too... couldn't get Pam out of the Orchid area though!!! LOL, Joelle
Was I THAT obvious??? ;)
They really did have some exceptional beauties there!
Oh nummy, Pam. Who is the last little ruffled number--pink and yellow? Very nice and doesn't look flat enough to be Miltonia. Dawn
It's my new baby Dawn !!!!!!!!!!!!
It's Cattleya BLC. Varut Roongkamul......it's price was $16.00. *Ü*
Congrats to You! It's a beautiful little babe. $16 are you kidding? Sounds most reasonable to me.
I'm thinking that with all that Pam has bought, traded, and already had, we should all go there and see whather houseis like. I bet it's just chaulk full of wonderful plants.
Pictures Pam please of whats blooming at your house...
Linda
Not a whole lot Linda. :( Most of my plants are just coming out of dormancy I'll take a look around but I don't think it would be very exciting right now.
Dawn you are right about the above orchid, that Joelle steered me too, it was one heck of a good deal. Ü
If you look very closely you can see Pam in one of these Pics. LOL!!
I see a gargoyle but not Pam. Pam doesn't look anything like a gargoyle. She quite cute actually.
LOL!
I give up, which picture is she in?
:).......LOL.....thanks Liz.
Joelle Imma pretty sure there *WILL* be a picture of you showing up on here! ;)
Let me do my hair first!! LOL!
Was that a gargoyle Liz? I think Linda is shifting the focus onto Moose Jaw for a while perhaps. It is fun to see what everybody has shopped for especially at this time of year, when we are all ravenous for new plants. Do you have the red leafed number, Liz. Would be pretty with Canna ' Tropicanna' or Pretoria or whatever they will call it this year.
Which red leafed number Dawn?
If I don't have it can I find it at the Alpine Club sale? LOL
Do you happen to have a picture of that gorgeous iris that you got from there? What was it called as I will be fighting the "ravenous hordes" to get one.
Red thing looks more like a ti or croton like houseplant, Liz. It is posted above by Lilypon. Golly, if it is the Iris confusa you want, I can give you some. It spreads slowly by stolons. I'm digging some for Elaine. Should bloom this week with the sun.
Dawn is right it's a Ti plant, Hawaiian Ti, Good Luck Plant (Cordyline fruticosa) weeds said once it was one of her favourite plants. I wish they'd sell small starts of it here. One greenhouse had a price of $40+ on it.

Just catching up with this thread - thanks for all the pics, Pam and Joelle! I especially like the shots of the shelves showing all the different plants, and the one of the display areas - makes me feel like I'm right there in the greenhouse. Looking forward to hearing your impressions of how (or whether) the change of ownership affects the selection, prices, etc. at this nursery. Dutch Growers seems to be the most expensive gh in Saskatoon, but their selection and quality are generally quite good.
