Plant shopping at the end of July

This summer has been very, very non typical Savannah weather...
Normally by this time of the summer
I have not only stopped thinking about buying anything,
 I have most likely stopped caring about what is going on outside at all.
But because of all the rain our temperatures have stayed on the mild side
 and even though it is so wet that I really haven't been able to do much...
The milder temperatures have me making plans
for when or if the rain ever stops.

and I have figured out
 ~ if you go shopping this late in the season
 you find things on sale.
You find things you have been wanting but haven't been able to find
 and you find things that might not have peeked your interest in the spring...

Like these marked down New Dawn Climbers 

Yesterday I picked up three for the price of one...
But the fun part about this is I didn't even realize until this morning
 what I had bought ... Now.... let me explain..
Yesterday I got to make a quick stop at a nursery in Statesboro, Georgia
I went in with one thing on my mind. They didn't have it so I left my name and number
 and was headed for the car when I saw the roses.
I have been thinking about planting some small white roses along the front walk.
I found what I wanted went and got a cart threw 3 roses on it
 turned around and saw a Lady Baltimore hibiscus placed it on the cart, paid took off.
 I unload the car when I got home and I still had not notice I had pink roses.
This morning I go out to water.... I stopped, looked around

 ( you know like maybe someone is playing a joke and is hiding to see me react )
 I grabbed the tag and guess what I have 3 New Dawn Climbers
well how ya like that .. I have been trying to decide which climbers
I wanted for my arbor in the backyard...
Well I guess that decision has been made..

Lady Baltimore hibiscus I could not find her in the spring but I have her now

Black coral elephant ears Taro Colocasia

The wouldn't have peeked my interest in the spring
but I'm gaga over right now... I can't wait to watch this grow.
The leaves are iridescent, when the sun hits them they shimmer..

I also bought a Limelight Hydrangea, Night Blooming Jasmine
 and was given a piece of a Taro named Tea cup.
So I say get out and go shopping ya just might find a treasure...

Now let me tell ya what else I did yesterday but don't tell anyone else
 cause it's pretty silly and well it makes me sound a little goofy..
The hubby and I went to lunch, time I walked into the restaurant
I headed for the restrooms. I went in did my business walked out of the stall and thought hummm that's a urinal on that wall.. 
Why would they have a urinal in the ladies room..
With no more thought about it..
We had a wonderful lunch with the nieces and the babies.
I got up to leave and walked right back into that restroom again
 and dang if there wasn't a man standing there drying his hands...
He smiled, I say is this the men's room
he gives me that Bill Engvall look... You know the one
The Here's your sign one... and yes there were signs very clear signs on the doors..
I just once again was not paying attention ..lol..
yep pretty silly but it sure gave us all a good laugh
 and something for the kids to rag me about for the next thousand years..
hugs and happy weekend ya'll, Cherry
