As we talked to the woman behind the counter, she said &#8220;We order what people want to buy.&#8221; Which seems like a perfect way to do business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We did buy a selection of indoor plants form Meadows Farms. A found a pair of cacti I allowed myself to buy after keeping the one I bought last year alive and doing well. Add to that a coleus (the red fuzzy one).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Annie got a Snake Plant and a ZZ Plant. Both hearty for shady indoor climates, which is our house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is our life now. Watching the birds at the feeders. Clearing areas to plant more bushes and flowers around our house. Annie is on a mission to remove anything that&#8217;s only green. It has to flower. It has to look pretty. And if it&#8217;s going to, it has to look pretty for as long as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She lived in California when she was young and remembers the flowers everywhere, all the time. So while Maryland isn&#8217;t the same climate, replicate as much beauty as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"629\" height=\"839\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/peroty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Butterfly-Bush-flowers.jpg?resize=629%2C839&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Purple flowers of butterfly bush up close.\" class=\"wp-image-5829\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/peroty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Butterfly-Bush-flowers-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/peroty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Butterfly-Bush-flowers-scaled.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/peroty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Butterfly-Bush-flowers-scaled.jpg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/peroty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Butterfly-Bush-flowers-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/peroty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Butterfly-Bush-flowers-scaled.jpg?resize=788%2C1051&amp;ssl=1 788w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/peroty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Butterfly-Bush-flowers-scaled.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/peroty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Butterfly-Bush-flowers-scaled.jpg?w=1258&amp;ssl=1 1258w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 629px) 100vw, 629px\" \/><figcaption>Butterfly bush up close<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The weekend is here again.
