I have shared pictures from one of our local nurseries before and I told you about how local nurseries can provide loads of inspiration. But did you know that you can find some great photo ops at the larger garden centers, too?

Keith and I went this past weekend to one of the big ones looking for rope lights for the garden. And of course, since spring is in full bloom, we walked through the garden center. Luckily I had my phone with me and I decided to take a few shots of some of the pretties that they had out. Like these beautiful Quince bushes. Can you see why they are in the rose family? Those blossoms look like some of the wild roses we have around here. I thought they were stunning.

And since it was Easter weekend, they had lots of Hydrangeas ready to give as gifts. I love the blue ones.

I loved this one with just tinges of blue, too. And they had pink and white, but what I really loved were the blooming bulbs.

Isn’t this red and white Tulip stunning?

And there were lots of them. And Daffodils, too!

If you didn’t know where I was, you might think I was at a tulip farm! And if you couldn’t see the yellow pot in this shot, too!

Everything was colorful and smelled wonderful.

And these red and yellow Tulips are gorgeous.

Especially with the bright yellow Daffodils behind them.
Next time you go to one of the big box garden centers, take a few pictures and share them with your friends. It doesn’t cost anything (unless you cannot restrain yourself from making a purchase or two) and you and your friends will have some great pictures to share! And you don’t have to tell them where you took them. That will be our little secret.
