Somewhere along the way many of us just forgot. We got so caught up in that notion of seeing and/or owning something ‘more exotic’ that we forgot to look around and be amazed in the “right here” and “right now”. And along the way, we lost some part of our capacity to be filled with wonder. . . . reBlogged to gardening on May 11, 2008, 3:54PM...

It happens every year. Spring rolls around and as the garden begins to awaken, I anxiously make the rounds to see what has survived whatever kind of winter we've had. Some things burst out of their winter coats like gangbusters to let you know right away that they're ready to get on with the show.

I finally learned how to pronounce smilacina right, and now it's gone; the whole genus has been been moved lock, stock, and barrel, to the genus maianthemum. This is Maianthemum japonicum; it is the Asian version of our own native false Solomon seal. A terminal clump of creamy little star flowers leads to red berries in the fall. At least I already know how to pronounce May-an-the-mum . reBlogged to...

Living in the Pacific Northwest there is no way to get away from these slimy creatures. Last year I only saw a few of these creatures but apparently my veggie plot must have been identified and they told all their friends since I am currently planting my second set of cilantro and lettuce seeds since they ate up my little seedlings. . . . reBlogged to pests...

Variegated Double ImpatiensImpatiens 'Pink Ice'(im-PAY-shuns)This is the Impatiens that I got the 40 flats of yesterday. It is all going to one house. I have never used the Variegated Impatiens on this large of a scale before so it going to be a bit of an adventure. In general I like variegated plants but some are too garish. This Impatiens is really tasteful and dainty so the variegation really works...

It occurs to me lately that much of the good stuff on this blog happens in the comments, and as a result, doesn't get the prominence it deserves. Also, I tend to write of mystery plants, birds, bugs, etc. and then don't update the post when I learn the ID. Soooooo.....this post is to tie up some loose ends. . . . reBlogged to birds gardens...
