Thanks to my amazing friend Carol, we went with the Ventura County Garden Club on a SPECTACULAR tour of Santa Babara’s Ever-Bloom nursery – and all I can say is… LOOK AT THESE PICTURES! I am so inspired! Imagine acres and acres of gorgeous gerbera daisies, seemingly dancing a colorful ballet as far as the eye can see. These gerberas are all from imported plants from Holland (The Netherlands). MANY THANKS to Louise and Janet and the Ventura County Garden Club for making me feel so welcome and arranging this tour, and to my talented friend Carol, and to the lovely Ever-Bloom nursery. What an inspiring treat for an Impressionist artist!
Here are just a few examples of the lovely gerbera daisies we saw:
Have you ever seen gerbera daisies like this? WOW!
Look at these spikey petals combined with that blaze of color - Van Gogh watch out!
Cheery Sunny Gerbera - I got to take this one home! On a blue vase, it is AMAZING!
Another unique gerbera daisy at Ever-Bloom nursery
A "sea" of gerberas - this photo reminds me of a wave!
How can you look at these and not be happy? B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L !
Such a variety of color! These cut gerbera daisies in line to be boxed and shipped.
Tis Bliss To Be Surrounded By This!
The above is a video to show how huge just ONE greenhouse is – and Ever-Bloom has several greenhouses like this, and other greenhouses serving younger plants at various stages of growth – a full 15 acres under glass, as they say! -And the technology behind it all is IMPRESSIVE
It won’t surprise anybody when these lovely gerbera daisies pop up in my garden AND in my paintings!
