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.

Muscari, or grape hyacinth, was one of the flowers I saw everywhere at the NW Flower & Garden show last week, along with fritillaria, or checkered tulips (see below). Their light blue color was very sweet to see, and will be perfect for an Easter nosegay. #NWFGS

The foxglove (digitalis) is blooming well this year. A little fertilizer doesn’t hurt, either.

Pretty spots decorate this close up of a foxglove flower in my shade garden

One of my favorite places in the whole world, the Conservatory at Volunteer Park in Seattle, WA.

Already with the glass panes whitewashed against the sun, the Conservatory in Volunteer Park is a gem

Out in the garden today, the sun came out. Our part of the yard goes to just after the vegetable beds on the right.
