Lake County, Ohio Nursery Tours

These are the "SOMBRERO" series Echinacea cultivars...this is probably Echinacea 'Salsa Red' in the foreground and 'Lemon Yellow' in the middle.

Echeveria 'Black Night' - these were the first plant to catch my eye...not hardy, but they are produced as "Tender Plants" intended to be over wintered indoors.

I took the day Monday to head towards Lake County, Ohio to tour Nurseries. Visited North Coast Perennials and Klyn Nursery. "Nursery Tours" is an annual two day event put on by the Nursery Growers of Lake County Ohio. I have heard of it my whole life...first time visitor. Only, I left Buffalo at 6AM, drove down, did two tours between 9AM and 1PM, then drive home. Special treat - 2 1/2 hour personal tour by Bill Hendricks of Klyn Nursery. One-on-one, cruising the 1000s of acres they must have there in his FORD pickup truck.
