Bienvenidos a Miami

Mike and I had a wonderful time in South Beach. The weather was a bit chilly for them but still glorious to us Coloradoans. Sunny and a bit breezy with plenty of people-watching, beach, patio chill time. Our only site seeing trip was the Botanical Gardens of course and we saw some incredible tropical beauty. Why, oh why, do I live in a high arid state again? It is lovely but come on, these trips are killing me, seeing all the things everyone else can grow- without effort! Miami was full of succulents, hibiscus (a favorite), bouganvillea, ti leaves, begonias, baobab trees, palm trees...
And we are both huge fans of wearing light clothing and living in flip flops, taking siestas, and excellent coffee, so needless to say Miami was a hit. Hope we can go back. The demographic diversity alone was enough to shock a Boulderite's system into reality for a while, in a good way.
The picture is a plant wall on the little stage at the Miami Beach Botanical Gardens, great idea for backyard or wedding setting!

Seattle Beauty

I was in Seattle last week and it was spring there! Funny how so many things we buy at the flower market are growing freely all over the place, like my favorite Hellebore flowers, camellias of all colors, forsythia, quince, cherry blossom, euphorbia....amazing! Off to Miami for more inspiration and relaxation tonight.
