From a street-side plant sale!

The hatch back full of newly aquired beauties.

Counter clock wise from top right, three kinds of colored foliage Heuchera Coral Bells: bronze, marmalade and neon yellow. Two Sweet Woodruff ground covers, bridal wreath spirea, orange oriental poppy, mexican feather grass and two peach & cream daffodils.

The peach daffodil bloom...nice!

Seven purple Ajuga bugleweed ground covers, a sword fern, three kinds of sedum and a hen & chick.

Three garlic plants, a native Northwest Swordfern and two Iberis Candytuft plants. The Iberis are going to make a great spring show with the front yard tulips and snowflakes.

Two giant autumn joy sedums, pink lilac, maidenhair fern and a sword fern.

Iberis, will definitely need some shearing to keep a nicer shape & make more blooms.

A native swordfern...my shade garden is beckoning.

A Salmonberry Tree! Another northwest native...I remember eating the clear orange berries in the forest near my home growing up. So magical.

The most open tulips so far...






Our flowering pear tree, lookin good for year #1.

The coral bark maple was suddenly in full leaf this week.

A twisted twig cage for the fairies to play with.

Some ceramic garden art...trying to keep out the kitsch but I think these pass.

Leucothoe...I planted three in a row & today discovered they get 5' wide and tall! Will move them this fall to a roomier spot.

Alliums

The pear tree we planted in back is looking good.

This maple is begging to be pruned...I told her I need to read up on this first.

A newly placed rock! Jon came across this big rock when digging a home for the pear tree in back. What a great find. The creeping jenny will fill in around it in this bed.

The apple green sedums made it through a very wet & cold winter.

A water catch for a drippy spot in the garden. I use this to water new plantings & hope the birds will visit too. My northwest native plantings, flowers & lack of pestisides should make it pretty easy for them to visit me & call this garden home.
