The gardening season is gearing up here, and I've been visiting nurseries and going places and doing things, and of course, I always bring my camera along. But I don't always get enough good images to put together an entire post about it. So I thought I'd do a post to include some random shots that turned out adequately.
From the recent Yard, Garden and Patio Show in Portland:
 |
| Loved these sort of egg-shaped orange pots |
 |
| Yucca 'Bright Star' in an orange container, just in case I'm wondering what color container mine will look good in, once I dig them up |
 |
| Kokedama (moss ball) |
|
From a visit to Cistus Nursery:
 |
| Garrya elliptica and Eucalyptus |
From Thicket, another Portland nursery:
 |
| Hellebore (unfortunately, I didn't take note of the name) |
 |
| Clematis armandii 'Apple Blossom' |
 |
| Pussy willow |
From Garden Fever, a neighborhood nursery also in Portland:
 |
| Clematis armandii 'Snowdrift' |
Chez Alison:
In my own house, the two Begonias, that I moved out of the greenhouse a month or so ago to make room for seed-starting, are flowering.
And out in the greenhouse, the Old Lady Cactus (Mammalaria hahniana) is flowering. The flowers are tiny and delicate, and ever so much better than glued-on fake ones.
