I adore gardenias. They were my mother’s favorite flower.

Raindrops only add to the perfection of this intensely fragrant gardenia blossom.

Seattle’s Volunteer Park Conservatory has such showy coleus plants, looking so much like flowers.

These lavender plants were blooming in my garden in mid-June last year. Their scent is heaven to me.

Got to go to Gold Bar, a tiny town in Washington, at a little place on the Skykomish River (the “Sky), on a drippy day.

We had a brief sunbreak yesterday (oh, the thrill of sunshine in Seattle!) and I found that some things were happening in the garden.

Seattle’s weather has been colder and wetter than normal. Here is a plum tree in my back yard, trying so hard to bloom, taken on a rare break in the rain.
