Flower Power and More!

Saturday, August 1st, 2009
Ok, let’s just say I am obsessed with flowers, fishing, geocaching, and reading.  It may seem that all my Blogs focus on the same stuff.  So, why change, it works for me!
One of our local garden clubs, “A” Garden Club of Big Bear Valley is holding their annual Plant Sale.  Sure, they will have Garden decorations too.  The event will be held THIS  Saturday, Aug. 1, 2009.
The sale this year will be held at 437 West Meadow Lane in Big Bear City.  It will be held from 9:00 am until 1:oo pm.
For more ”A” Garden Club  information,  please call Vicky Roney at 909-866-9817.

Why not rent a cabin and head on up in the hills,  it is soooooo much cooler up here!  I will be happy to rent you a place.  Gold Rush Resort Rentals    www.bigbearrentals.net    1-(866)37-CABIN

Very Rare Flower…

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

Checker Bloom is a rare flower in Big Bear. The Checker Bloom is a perennial with a small cluster of leaves at it’s base and a 2-3 ft. spike of 1-inch deep pinkish-purplish flower.

The stems are raher lax as it grows in perennial grass thickets in seasonal springs. Showy in it’s delicate way. It needs garden conditions, part shade to full sun. this cute plant is native down the road from us.

In the ground in the nursery it stays visible but in it’s grassy thicket you cannot find it as all it retains is a 4-inch unlimited winter water but little summer water.

In the wild it grows with Stipa cernua, Stipa pulchera, From granitic soils, to serpentine, edges of beach sand to heavy clay. Although sparsiflora, amonst others, they all morph together to make seperation difficult and often meaningless.

This flower is very rare in Big Bear but they are found up here, and are illegal to build property over the land!

The Farmer’s Market In Big Bear

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

The Farmer’s Market is every Tuesday from 8AM to 1PM at the Convention Center located on the corner of Big Bear Blvd. and Division.

Offering a variety of vendors to choose from. Everything is so cheap you’re bound to find something you like. From fresh bread to organically grown vegetables and fruits to kettle corn and hand made tamale’s and tacos. You can get jewelry, shoes, nick nacks, pet fashions, skin care and so much more.

I love the fresh flowers that are available for purchase, I get a bundle every week for my desk , they last for two weeks, prices start at four dollars and up for a bouquet of beautiful flowers.

We are so blessed that these vendors come up our mountain every week so we can have fresh foods and items to choose from, thank you to all our local vendors as well….See you all Tuesday.

Spring Is Coming and So are The Beautiful Flowers

Thursday, March 19th, 2009

It is yet another beautiful day up here in Big Bear spring is definitely in the air. We have had wonderful warm sunny days the past couple of weeks. The ski slopes are still open and running it would be the perfect time to come up and hit the slopes before all the snow melts away. Don’t forget that Friday is the first day of Spring, and the flowers will be popping up any day now to cover the mountain in soft colors.
