A Local Greenhouse - Part 2

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:
