The almost reptilean sepals of Clematis ’Rhapsody’. I could totally get lost in that hypnotic color... #clematisrhapsody #joycreeknursery @joycreeknursery #nofilterneededDon’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 #opticvervedesign

Okay, so it snowed… I suppose that means it will be less difficult to stay inside and do paper work, but still… I had to venture out at least a little bit, and take some pictures. It’s interesting how similar … Continue reading

All lit up
For as much as a Grinch as I am, the one thing I really appreciate about Christmas on our side of the globe, is all the lights glimmering in an otherwise darkened world. I find the idea of an evergreen … Continue reading

The last rose…
Every so often, Portland gets hit with a little snow, and sometimes even an ice storm. Over the past two days, we got both – a double whammy. Once again, I am thankful for the roof over my head, and … Continue reading
