With foliage like this, who the hell cares what the flowers look like...? . . #cannastuttgart #myjungleSo nice to see blooms on at least one of my Toadlilies! Where in the world did that name come from anyway...? . . . #tricyrtisblu-shing #toadlilyRemembering my father in law, who left this world last night. Rest in peace, Ernie. As a fellow gardener, I love how last time we spoke, you told me the plants you brought back from your June visit, were thriving. I’m glad they gave you joy for at least a while. 💚😔Saw the weirdest color phenomenon on a maple street tree in North Portland. The west-facing side is bright red, while the east- facing remains green. Like paint-by-numbers, and Mother Nature used a ruler. Heat stress? . . #weirdcolor #strangeeffect #prematurefallcolors #heatstress?When I first brought this NOID Begonia home, it was so brittle, it almost broke a leaf off every time you looked at it. I gave it a big pot, tucked it in the shade of the black bamboo, and, other than a well directed splash of the hose here and there, pretty much forgot about. I think that’s about what it needed - it’s doing great without me. 😊 . . . #noidbegonia #bigleaflove #myjungle #backyardbeautiesThe many shades of #heatstress. #euphorbiarigida

Let me just preface this post by saying that I had a great day! I had nearly an entire, uninterrupted day to do something I have wanted to do for months – build some fern tables! Ever since I first … Continue reading
Wednesday Vignette – beloved Oneonta
Being a little sentimental this week. Or, perhaps one could say that I’m still in mourning. The stunningly beautiful and unique Oneonta Gorge, slightly east of the tourist icon that is Multnomah Falls is said to have been severely damaged. … Continue reading

Greenhouse glimpse
Sometimes, the light is just irresistible. And sometimes your photos don’t show just how irresistible that light was. Oh well, I can still enjoy the forms and the colors of these wonderful plants:
The juglone challenge
Sometimes, a project takes on an element of gambling. Recently, a couple asked me to help them spruce up their parking strip. It had nice, generous dimensions (12′ x 50′), but also came with a large Black Walnut tree. Being that they … Continue reading
