<span style="text-align: center;">I just returned from a visit to Parque La Mexicana in Mexico City, Mexico. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Amazing. Simply amazing. In the middle of January, this park was one of the prettiest, most maintained, clean, beautiful, incredible parks I have seen in a long time. I can only imagine what it must be like in the spring, though honestly, it was so pretty it would be hard to beat. </div>

Parque La Mexicana sits right dab in the middle of Mexico City in an area called Santa Fe. This area has some of the most architecturally unique buildings I have seen in a long time all in one place. The buildings are both residential and office buildings and all are impressive. The park itself used to be the city dump. Yes, you read that right, the city dump. Can you even imagine?!?! And look at it now. What an incredible transformation. </div>

There are bike paths and walking and jogging paths that run throughout the park; the path is made of recycled tires so it is nice and soft. </div>

There is an area for children to play with jungle gyms, swings, baby zip line and structures to play on. There is a Starbucks, several restaurants as well as a PetCo. Almost everyone walking has a dog (or two) and you can see people working on the gardens and beds all over the park helping to keep it pristine. </div>

I am constantly impressed with Mexico City and their beautification of their public spaces- they do mass plantings, sprinkle in art as well as change up seasonally all over the city. This was my first time visiting this park and it will not be my last. It was an amazing day, blue skies, perfect day to walk the path, grab a coffee and admire the beautiful park.</div>

Fall is coming! I promise, it is. I don't know about other parts of the country but here in Texas, namely Austin, it is hot, hot and did I mention it is hot? I for one am ready for fall and the cooler temps. I thought I would share a few photos of things that have been blooming in the nursery lately - hope you enjoy!</div>

The bees don't seem to mind the heat. They are all over the place which is wonderful. In this shot they are on the Russian Sage, which is a personal favorite of mine. I love the colors.</div>

Funny story about this little guy.... I was chasing him for what seemed like hours to get a good shot of him as he zipped around the nursery, and then he stopped and sat on this line right next to me and just hung out for about 5 minutes. Just sitting there. He was so close- it was so neat. I could have reached out and touched him. It was truly one of the most exciting things to experience. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been really bad about blogging lately and for that I apologize. I promise to make an effort to be better and post more often. I have been posting a lot on Instagram - it is just so easy to just take the photo and pop it up there it has me spoiled. Anyway, hope you enjoy! </div>

Spring is near here in Austin, Tx. We just finished a little run of freezing weather which was preceded by 78 degree days. Texas weather. Nothing like it. I for one am happy it is over- we might have a little snap in the mid 30's but nothing like we just had. It registered 21 at the nursery- that's cold for us. I know our customers and friends from up north laugh at that, but for us, that is really cold. Especially when we were enjoying such amazing weather days before. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Posting a few photos I have taken the last few weeks- I admittedly have been bad about posting here and for that I apologize. I am going to try to be better. I have been posting on Instagram almost daily - it is just so easy. @viverogrowers if you do Instagram.</div>

We just returned from an incredible amazing trip to the <a href="https://garfieldconservatory.org/">Garfield Park Conservatory</a>, Chicago Illinois. This was our first trip here and I can't believe we have not visited sooner. This post will have to be in two parts as there are so many photos and I could turn it into three but will condense into two. I cannot say enough good things about this place. It was truly magnificent. </div>

I recently toured the Botanical Gardens of Chapultepec, Mexico City, Mexico. It was not only beautiful but was amazing. I had been before but in the last two years, they have really made a lot of improvements and changes and I loved them!! They have collaborated with various artists that have designed certain areas and/or installations in the garden throughout.</div>

I have seen this over the years in Mexico City and the trend finally made it to Austin a few years ago. I always thought they did and do a nice job of this planting with the succulents. I feel the key is to really pack them in there to have it nice and full.</div>

The weather here in Austin, Texas has just been crazy. No other way to explain it. Just nuts. Cold one day, hot the next. This weather is making my allergies go insane (as well as most everyone else) and people are getting sick left and right. </div>

The bees don't seem to be phased though- I have seen quite a few out and about which is refreshing as well as a few butterflies. Above on the Lion's Tail I sat and watched them for what seemed forever. It was mesmerizing. They are such hard workers!!</div>

I have had so much fun lately playing with the succulents I must admit. They are so colorful and easy to combine and mix and match. And the blooms- I mean look at that!!!!

I still can't believe it is October. Crazy. Time is flying by entirely too fast. It is finally fall here in Austin, Texas and also finally starting to feel like it. Lots of things blooming and looking great lately- hope you enjoy!</div>

Butterfly Vine - love these- after they bloom they have little seed pods that look like butterflies. Happy fall to everyone- hopefully you are seeing lots of fall color in your area! Can't wait to pop around to different blogs and go "sight seeing". </div>

Hurricane Harvey has just left Houston and is on his way leaving yet another path of destruction. It is so horrible and so sad what he leaves behind but to see all the people of Houston come together as they have along with people from all over has been overwhelming. I am from Houston and have family and friends there whom have been affected in one way or another. It is a helpless feeling to be here unable to do anything to help. Restless energy has led me to post some pretty blooms that have been blooming lately. Hope you enjoy.</div>
