I was touring the greenhouses in tiny Winthrop, New York (See also Part 1, posted yesterday). I thought these were Begonias until I got home and noticed the sign in the photo. Then I learned that these were Double Impatiens:
These were Celosia and Geraniums:
Petunias galore:
I think these were Cosmos, but I never looked:
These, I remember, were Asters - but of a variety I've never seen before:
Snap Dragons:
And more Petunias:
Flowers of all kinds, in all kinds of colors:
I walked outside and then turned left at this display of rural kitsch:
And into the fourth and last greenhouse, where I was greeted by Joseph and Mary:
And more flowers of every color imaginable:
And of course the aroma of flowers was strong. They hadn't had the kind of perennials I was looking for, but I couldn't resist buying a couple of Double Begonias, just for fun. I paid for my new plants and brought them home to live with the seed trays and baby roses until I figured it was safe to plant them outdoors:
