Abracadabra Rose

Poof! It's beauty is sure to mesmerize. The Abracadabra rose may be small in size, but it's petals with their yellow striping are like magic.

A Plant Worthy of Harry Potter

With a name like Butterwort, one would expect to find it clinging to a corner of the castle at Hogwarts (The fictional castle in J.K. Rowling's famous series Harry Potter). Butterwort Plant Butterworts may appear plain & sort of cute in appearance. But they aren't. It's name comes from the buttery, sticky, greasy stuff that covers the leaves, which it uses to trap prey in the same way fly paper catches flies. Wicked Slime & Acid Insects become stuck in the leaf's sticky slime coating, then the acid of the slime helps the plant to digest the nutrients of the insects bodies. Sorta makes me think plants aren't always as nice as they appear.

Caramel Apple Tip

Making your own? Start with tart, firm apples, which offset the sweet coating. The best picks: Granny Smith, Gala, and McIntosh.

DIY Pumpkin Centerpiece

Begin by picking as roundish pumpkin. Cut off the top, scoop out the inside pulp and seeds. Inside the pumpkin, place a plastic paint bucket or any plastic container that fits.  Place a cube of Oasis floral foam inside the container. Press the foam down to make it level, and drench it with water. Arrange your Autumn flowers, dried leaves, and berries. We put in dahlia & hypericum berries.
