On to Gale!  She went to the garden in Tacoma....I forgot the name she told me so I'll have to update later.  I think she said it was in lakewood and she had to pay to get in ($5 or $6).  She said is was really nice but different than the Bloedel reserve.

I luuuuuuv this center piece!

Weird pool that makes me feel like I'm in a strange movie.

rubber ducky...you're the one!

My favorite plant

Also, Gale did NOT go this year to the flower and garden show....booooooo.  We are all so sad since she is such a great lover of the green arts.  We all apologize for this.  NO excuses but sincere regret.

Tacoma Flower and Garden Show 2008

Okay, for 8 bucks this was actually worth seeing.  There were some cool stuff there and for the price it was worth it.  I'm still getting phone calls from a woman that says I "won" something but it's hard to believe since they have my address...JUST SEND IT IF I WON!!!  I really enjoyed watching all the workpeople work on it...very cool.  I'm going to the Seattle Flower and Garden Show which, judging from the past, is a totally different experience.  Crowded, wonderful and over-the-top displays of interiors, gardens and floral arrangements.  I do love going to that show!  I'll give updates after I've seen it.  Just another great pic of the Tacoma Home & Garden Show
