The NPA manages a very large border built into a slope at the BBG, an impressive display of shrubs, trees and perennials that work well here in the PNW. You can read about it here. I'm sure any bloggers who attended the Seattle Fling will remember it well. I don't remember seeing it this early in the growing season, and hadn't realized it looked so good in the late winter/early spring. I was impressed with the swaths of Hellebores growing there, but what really impressed me and Peter both was this set of three Nolina 'La Siberica.' I've seen them before, but I don't think Peter had. He exclaimed quite loudly when they first came into view.

I'll be sharing more photos from that day in future Wednesday Vignette posts.
