It seems I get the most interesting jobs. This MASSIVE Sequoia serves as the spiritual center of the #benedictinesisters campus in Mt Angel. I’m helping them with designs for a few areas and was truly taken with this incredible tree. #sequoia #spiritualcenter #centeringHad fun making bouquets today. Started with one, had leftover cuttings, made another half, picked more, had leftovers - and so on. In the end, I had four vases full of lovelies, from the gardens @joycreeknursery . Which are like a giant box of crayons for folks like me. 😊 #playingwithplantsWas going through old photos, and found this. This is what happens when your best beloved comes home with a bag of rubber noses. 😂🤣😂Inside working on thi beautiful day, but hd to sneak out a little bit to see if there was anything new in the garden. There wasn’t, but I snapped a few shots of where I’d rather be. #wannagooutside #feelingsorryformyselfClose up of #anemonopsis #anemonopsismacrophyllaCame across this shot of a favorite planter from a few years ago, created for my friend Marian. Tried it in my garden too, but didn’t ’t have enough sun to make it look this good. Oh well, it’d be a shame not to try... . . @marianazorr #greenongreen #containerplanting #grevilleaivanhoe #echinaceagreenjewel #carextestacea #lysimachianummulariaaurea #opticvervedesign

Foliage Follow-Up Day – January 2018

Foliage followup day – December 2017
It looks like our long stretch of sun and cold winds might have ended. Lucky me – I managed to get a decent, sun-drenched shot of one of my perennial infatuations. I apologize for constantly posting shots of Melianthus major, … Continue reading

Foliage Follow-Up Day – November 2017
Today was a much better day for outdoor photography than yesterday. Sure, it’s still wet, but it’s nowhere near the kind of deluges we had then. Not a whole lot to see out there right now. Parts of the yard … Continue reading

Blooms and foliage – August 2017
This has been a terrible summer for me, in terms of keeping up on blog memes – I have missed several months worth… Once (or was it twice?), I even missed my own, and had to play catch-up later in … Continue reading

Foliage Follow-up and belated Bloom Day – March 2017
Apparently, sometimes it is in ones favor to be fashionably late. Yesterday, on Bloom Day proper, it was so grey, wet, and miserable here, that I would have worried for my camera’s safety bringing it outside without an umbrella. This … Continue reading

Post-election Blooms, Pods and Foliage – November 2016
A garden is a good reminder that life goes on, outside of our human drama. And, it its a good place for demons to disperse, and some semblance of sanity to be restored. I spent some time putzing around out … Continue reading

Foliage Follow-Up – September 2016
A couple of days late, but figured I wanted to join in with Pam at Digging’s monthly meme anyway, celebrating the best and boldest of any garden – the foliage! Head over there for a treat you don’t often see, and … Continue reading
