The last of the summer veggies from the garden







One last coffee at Thissens before we head home. I'm going to miss that little anais cookie!




I had to sneak in a few more flower shops and gardens before we came home from Amsterdam

My dream shop - it's located in an old church - how perfect!

It you find yourself in Amsterdam be sure to check out Urban Green


Gerda's flowers was so beautiful and the people so friendly!



Pompon was right around the corner from my flat so I cam in almost every day to see ginormous buckets filled with gloriosas, amaryllis and all sorts of lovelies.

This little shop was so darling but the owner was not amused by me taking pictures - make sure you ask in Holland!

The Hortus Botanicus in Amsterdam

The cycad house


Giant water lotus that blooms for only 2 nights then turns it's face down into the water to form its seeds.

Did I say giant?



Delicate butterfly












Fun little diorama
