I was looking for a clivia plant..so we headed to Alden Lane Nursery in Livermore.
Always fun to go to this nursery..the setting so peaceful and organized. Coming from 3 days of on and off rains, today with the sun up and temps just cool and comfy, it was so fun looking around first as I continue to search for my clivia plant.

This nursery is situated in a grove of centuries old oak trees...always impressed by its majestic growth:

Love how this live semi-fallen oak tree has been used as part of the fence around the bird house area:

I always get so side tracked...so did I get my Clivia plant? Yes I did! Thankful that they have a one gallon plant..so it came home with us and some cutesy garden decor..well..my hubby wants these whimsical meditating animals.. Rolling my eyes.

Tag says Clivia Solomone Hybrid Yellow - this will be my first attempt to grow this plant...fingers crossed!
