Beautiful little Neve in her fuzzy sweater!

Happy Easter! Here's a log to celebrate.

greenhouse-ing

This weekend consisted of spending some quality time in the University of Maine greenhouses while Josh (and the rest of the UMO Horticulture Club) prepared for the Bangor Garden Show. That means that I got to explore some cool plants while everyone else was working hard.

To the right are the giant leaves of a banana tree. Unfortunately, even in a greenhouse, these banana trees can only produce fruit about once a decade..and this year was not the lucky one. It's still a spectacular plant though!

This is an agave cactus! Yes, the famous origin to the over-used and infamous agave syrup (which is not as healthy as many believe). I wish I had a good shot of the entire plant...it's huuuge and extremely crazy looking. Go look one up.

 More agave.

Water faucets.

One of Josh's cultivated plants. I think it's called a blue veronica, or something like that.

Lastly, another cactus. They have a lot of different cacti, but I liked this one the best.

sail away the day

Such a wonderful post-St. Patrick's Day in Boston. The super sunny and warm weather definitely made up for all the Irish craziness happening around the city. I thought St. Patrick's Day was yesterday?..but the festivities continued into today, leaving transportation backed up and the T beyond crowded. At least the non-stop Patty Party didn't keep sailboaters from sailing on the Charles in front of MIT today.

 Trees are cool.

Spring has sprung in Boston! I love spending time in the Garden when it's nice out.

Okay, so I guess there's no one to blame but me for this lack of posting. I've been busy! School, life, etc =  no good quality time with my camera. But I did have a short break from the craziness over spring break, unfortunately home is not the best place for me to continue taking pictures. But I did snag this one of my cat, Dandelion, inside her cathouse. I promise I'll be back to shooting and posting eventually!

down on the corner

Looking out of my apartment windows at the building across the street. I'm still not really sure what the building is for though. I like the lighting at this time of night, now that it is actually staying light out past 4:30!

 Posting hiatus! Aside from the fact that I haven't spent quality time with my camera in the past month, I have also been locked out of my account for some reason. Go figure... But I'm back now! And with new photos.

These two are from this weekend's New England Grows Gardening/Growing Convention held in Boston. I really like this plant, but I forgot the name of it! If I remember I'll update.
