There is a beautiful display of plants-for-sale along Avila Street in Cebu City that I always pass by near my kids' school. My head would crane to look at the gorgeous saturated blooms and colorful variagated leaves as the car speeds past them. I vowed to stop one day and buy some. Well, my husband and I found time yesterday. We thoroughly enjoyed the eye candy and had a buying spree!
pink canna lilies, red tapay-tapay (rooster's comb) flowers, and torenias (Torenia fournieri with their cute blue and pink with white blooms
The yellow corner:
bright yellow marigolds, marsh marigolds with smaller flowers and bigger leaves, pink orchids on the side, and pandakaki with small white blooms
The pink to violet corner:
the canna lilies on the upper left corner, bluish torenia flowers and pink gerbera on the foreground, pink and violet petunias, rooster's comb and cypress vine flowers in the background
The red to pink corner:
lovely canna lilies, red and pink impatiens flowerettes, yellow and red rooster's comb blooms
The colorful leaves corner:
rosal and mayanas, mayanas, mayanas, so many of them!
The miniature decorative leaves corner:
two kinds of gabigabi caladiums, coral fern, and spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum)
The hibiscus corner:
gumamela flowers in various colors
The variagated leaves corner:
pink and green gabigabi caladiums, red aglaonema 'legacy' plants, the stunning stromanthe sanguinea with its tricolor leaves of green, white and purple, several dumb canes, and cypress in the background
OK, so I got excited and wanted to bring all of them home! But, I got a limited budget and space, so I was happily contented with this haul.

Not in the picture are the avocado seedling, the kamuning plant, several rosal plants, and a mini rose that went home with me, too. Someone went to bed happy yesterday. ME!
