Searching for House Plants at Ginkgo Gardens

It must be the time of the year. We are on the look out for flowering houseplants. They simply don’t exist. Two of the plants we have have definitely seen better days. Since everything is green, we wanted to add some color to the mix. The grocery store always had small rose plants, but they didn’t. American plant had primarily orchids, but nothing else with flowers. So we drove in to DC to our favorite plant shop on Capitol Hill -  Ginkgo Gardens. Let’s say it was more of a garden tour than a shopping stop. We parked next to an open field where a lot of tiny kids were playing soccer next to the school. Then we walked up the street snd saw some interesting garden sculptures, then started in to the store with high expectations. But everything was green, more green, and similar to the rest of the plants that we already have. It was a bit disappointing. So we drove back home and tried another flower and plant shop in the neighborhood - no luck. And as a last resort we went to an outdoor garden place near the house - no luck there either. So it looks like the plants we have that are doing poorly have another reprieve. It looks like the grocery store is our best best. Maybe next time we will have better luck.
