For many people that means buying cut flowers and taking their wife or mother out to lunch. For us it means a trip to the garden center. This is our third trip in two weeks and we now have enough plants to keep us busy for a little while. Mostly we buy annuals that Cathy will put into containers, including some at her mother&#8217;s house. On the two previous trips I bought a shrub each time but I didn&#8217;t get anything for myself this time (it&#8217;s Mother&#8217;s Day, after all). But I did bring my camera and while Cathy made up her mind what to buy, I took pictures.<\/p>\n<p>They had quite a few Fuchsias in hanging baskets. Most of them were this variety, called \u2018Dark Eyes\u2019. There was another that had a white part instead of the purple here. I prefer this one over that. There were also a lot of really lovely gazanias and dahlias, which are always quite impressive.
