Had a wonderful time with friends, visiting the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island this year and last attending the Grand Garden Show hosted by Proven Winners. I came home with a few new goodies to add to my flower garden, and quickly planted them, so they’ll develop their root system, and be ready to grow next spring. Somehow, I can always find room for another plant in there! I took plenty of reference photos for future art painting inspiration. Of course, some photos were just for fun! Hope you enjoy the photo memories.
