Almost Seen
This house is nearly buried by all of the vegetation. I am always curious about the people living in houses with yards like this.
Another Blue Bottle Fancier
On Beach Drive, in Seattle, there is a house that has decorated a shrub, tree or whatever they fancied in their yard and parking strip with blue bottles. I never expected to find someone else bitten by the same bug, this time in Portland.
Best Rose
I don’t think this rose is the ‘best’, but I thought it was interesting.
Raised Garden Boxes
Someone has invested space and resources to lay out this raised box farm. This space used to have a more traditional urban garden that, over the past couple of years, had been in decline. The wood and angle iron used in these boxes is a serious investment. They have even shaped the boxes to fit the plot of land. I am really impressed.
Flower Garden
Tis the tulip season.
Thomas Street Gardens
Part of the original P-Patch project in Seattle, this garden thrives in a very dense urban area.
Primrose
Primrose from our garden. Not sure what caused the spotting. Maybe I dripped some gray paint last week?
Odds and Ends
Odds and ends from a walk.
One more Look
One more look at the bottle tree. Must be a perennial that requires little sunshine and lots of water.
Early Blossoms
Mini rainbow. I must have just missed the fairies dancing about.
Brooklyn Botanic Garden
Taken from my 2007 visit to Brooklyn ( I am just finishing the editing on the 600+ photos I took ). From a path in the Botanic Garden.
