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.

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.
