Don’t know about you, but on a day this hot, my outlines are starting to blur, too. Ugh - be kind to yourselves out there. #keephydrated💦 #hangingintheshade @drinkalotoffluids #clematisviticellaprincecharles#clematisroyalvelours clambering up my #styraxjaponica . I’m thinking, since it’s there, and since it’s kind of a pain-in-the-ass tree, I might as well put it to good use. #livingtrellis #myjungle #mygardenHad a wonderful time with dear buddy @williammcclenathan powering through seven open gardens on the Garden Conservancy Open Garden Tour, today. Did some much needed catching up while enjoying some beautiful settings. Our day started out with the best Bloody Mary I think I’ve ever had at another dear friend’s house - thank you, Lori and Juno! Hope you are all enjoying your weekend too! 💚Ventured out to theeast side for Korean food, and drove past the now defunct D7D nursery. I got a laugh out of their farewell message... What do they mean by THAT??? 😂🤣😂#notsure #crypticmessages #wwttA sundrenched expanse of shrubs and blooming sedum that makes me happy every time I see it as well as its owner! @marianazorr #frontgarden #lowmaintenancegarden #lowwatergarden #opticvervedesignThese tightly curled flowers always make me think of those 18th century powdered wigs - except better color. I believe this is some variety of #clematiscrispa - maybe a seedling . @joycreeknursery #joycreeknursery

NWFGS 2016 – a doubter’s report
Next week, it is time for the Northwest Flower and Garden show in Seattle again. That means it took me a year to write this post. I apologize. In all honesty, I had a hard time with it, as I … Continue reading
Blogger Appreciation Day at Joy Creek!!!
I admit it – I have been a bit consumed with national politics and the world’s reactions lately. But who can blame me? One nut bag decree issued, after the other… It’s been almost three years since I got my American citizenship. … Continue reading
