Mingling rather nicely in my hellstrip - #parahebeperfoliata and #helichrysumangustifolium #silverfoliageplants #bluefoliageplants #droughttolerant #hellstripgardening #hellstrip #lowmaintenanceplants #lowmaintenancegarden #killercomboEach flower of #rosaetoiledehollande never blooms for long, but drops its delicious dark red petals on the #shadytapestry below, so I don’t mind. This fragrant marvel will bloom continuously from spring to first hard frost, and then sign off with an abundance of large orange hips that later turn scarlet. This is a very worthy, climbing garden rose you don’t see in gardens nearly enough. It came with the house, and I’m grateful. #rose #redroses #climbingrose #fragrance #perfumeThe project in Mt Angel is very close to done. Can’t believe how fast the grass in the gravel lawn pathways is growing in. It was only seeded two weeks ago, along the method of the good folks @joycreeknursery . So far, so good. Can’t wait to see it fill in... #benedictinesistersofmtangel #monastery #spiritualwalks #peacepole #seatingarea #landscapedesign #opticvervedesign#crinodendronhookerianum in bloom with tiny little #saxifraga blooms fanning around its feet in adoration. Love this shrub! #mygarden #myurbanjungleSo, I have this shelf which I call my hoarder shelf, where I keep a number of my unplanteds. Right now, the sun was streaming through this #sanguinaria leaf in such a beautiful way, it made me do a doubletake. Immortalized for posterity - I hopefully won’t see it like this again. This baby is going in the ground very soon. 😊🌱Hanging lights in the backyard. I like the different perspective from atop the ladder. For one thing, a relative closeupcomparison of this and last years flowers on the palm. #trachycarpusfortunei #myurbanjungle

August Faves in the Garden
Okay, the clock just struck midnight, so technically I am now late in joining in Loree’s Fave of the Month meme, as it takes place on the last Friday of each month. Oh well, here goes:
October’s favorite
I’m throwing my variegated Fatsia japonica in with blogger pal Loree ‘s monthly meme of My Favorite Plant. It almost feels silly to designate it specifically as October’s fave. Truth is, I love it all the time. But because it’s about … Continue reading
Last Friday faves for fall – September
Late to Loree’s party, but hey – better late than never… Today was a rainy day (Hooray!) which I spent mostly inside, with my cat. I took a long nap in the afternoon, and it was wonderful! I’m ready for … Continue reading

This weeks fave – gnarly little Ulmus Parvifolia ‘Seiju’
I do adore it – my little Ulmus parvifolia ‘Seiju’. It is a dwarf type of Elm that looks like no other. Its branching structure looks like a fishbone, and its leaves are tiny – smaller than mouse ears – … Continue reading
Bloom Day – January 2015… for the most part, a study in red and pink.
Officially, it is still winter, but it really doesn’t feel like it. Things are moving faster out there due to unusually warm temperatures this side of Christmas, and I haven’t skied a single time due to lack of snow on … Continue reading

My green Amaryllis!
Those of you who have been with me for a while know that I have a thing for green flowers. When I first saw the bulb and the adjoining tag, I was intrigued but suspicious. The photo wasn’t great. The … Continue reading
