After six glorious months the Boisvert "Garden and Bedroom Remodel" is almost (99%) complete.
Here is a link to the pictures. (Kari ***LOVES*** the closet (I call it the "Chick Closet") and we spend a lot of mornings and evenings sitting on the patio watching and listening to the waterfall.)
BTW... In March we went to San Diego and while there we went to two plant nurseries. We wanted to buy a potted Bird of Paradise. All the people at both nurseries told us that the BofP would NEVER grow in the desert...too much heat.
We bought it any way and we have been attending to it all summer. We named the plant "Birdie." Birdie has been sending up new leaf shoots all summer so we know the heat was NOT doing her in... Two weeks ago two new shoots came up that looked different. Kari observed to me one day..."I think Birdie is sprouting two flowers." I am proud to announce that Birdie's first flower opened today.
Kari and I would like to announce the opening of our first grand-baby-flower. No name yet but it is an incredible orange, blue and green flower. I will send picture and statistics later.
....and they said it couldn't be done!!!!!
PS... Thank you Russ Hurst for all your dedicated work. :-)
That closet is AWESOME. Did you design it or did you use something like ClosetMaid?
ReplyDeleteI would love a BofP but they definitely wouldn't like Maine :(
