Tunnel Vision

This is one of the Bakker's growing fields of nursery stock. This one is near Brian's Lilycrest Gardens hybridizing field. As far as you can see little trees on white stakes.  What is most enjoyable is their 150 varieties of roses blooming in the summer.  According to their web site, they have 450 acres of soil in parcels of land of 6 to 58 acres all within 3 miles of the home yard. Interesting that in their introduction to the company, they indicate that land costs are $35,000 per acre.  Here's their 2016 catalogue:
