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.

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

Me and my head… the Benson High School Garden – Part 1
I’m sometimes accused of living too much inside my head. This may not be entirely untrue, and sometimes this is actually a good thing. Occasionally ideas arise that are pretty darn good. One of those ideas surfaced last fall. It was … Continue reading
