well our day went according to plan, everything went well at the clinic, and very quickly.. which was an added bonus...
we went and did another couple of errands and then headed back to the car, and headed to the garden centre, but it was too early for afternoon tea... so we had a light snack instead...
Having enjoyed our refreshments, we walked around the garden centre garden, which was very nice, lots of flowers plants shrubs and trees..., sssoooo many photo opportunities... but sssoooo little time.. but..., I still managed to get a few... lol
click on the link below for a short slideshow collection of what we saw today..
Our lady bought some nice plants for her patio pots... so hopefully if we get a sunny spell over the weekend 
we'll plant them out ...
my favourite was a miniature orchid called little lady, in a variety of colours, which decorated the tables in the cafeteria.

Love your photos, I haven't been to the garden center yet, its too early here in Canada to even think about planting. By the end of this month our flowers will be planted so I should go and check out the new plants.

I love flowers! An arrangement of flowers is able to illuminate an environment and renew the energies!
