Had a truly lovely visit to PowellsWood garden in Federal Way, WA the other day. Magnificent! Only three acres, but so lovingly created and tended. Kudos to them.

Darling pink hydrangeas, perhaps a tree?

Brugmansia, or Angels Trumpet, is challenging to photograph, although so very graceful and exciting in person. This one had a heavenly fragrance in the early evening.

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.

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