Pink flowers at Volunteer Park Conservatory
You could probably do a book on just the pink flowers at Volunteer Park Conservatory, but I won’t go that far. The new book I’m working on at this very moment will have all colors of flowers in it, not just pink, although the idea is tempting for those of us who adore pink. And all kinds of foliage, too, of course! Until the book is ready, sometime this summer, I strongly suggest that locals and visitors to Seattle explore this magnificent hidden gem.
Pink Saturday is having a special celebration this week, their 3-year blogoversary! Lots of fabulous pinkness there, to be sure. Also check out Macro Friday, Macro Monday, Today’s Flowers and Macro Flowers Saturday. Happy long weekend to all my USA visitors. Note that there are TWO photos below today!
The big tree loaded with pink flowers is fabulous, I wonder what could it be? The pink bush is lovely too.
Hi Maia,
You asked about the pink tree in my blog photo. That is a fuchsia that is grafted to a tree trunk, I believe, a “standard” fuchsia. The flowers are mostly still in bud. The one underneath is a kind of hydrangea. So pretty, I agree.

I am amazed at the size of the fuschia standard! I don’t think I have ever seen one that big! I love all the textures and shades of green in the leaves of all the plants!
A truly awesome shot of those pretty blooms.
Love the photo of the hydrangea flowers close up… very pretty.
These are beautiful!!
