A mini garden tour yesterday at a friend’s garden in Kent, WA, taking advantage of no rain falling. She has so many beautiful hellebores.

The Seattle Design Center in Georgetown has some of the most magnificent pink trees I’ve ever seen. They are planting new ones, but they look so puny compared to the old giants. The first view is from inside the skybridge, which you can see in the second photo.
