This azalea produces more and more fluffy blooms each year. It’s base is mostly in shade and protected from late afternoon sun. It still gets a bit of the annoying powdery mildew in the late summer, but not enough to outweigh it’s bloom power and nice branching structure 💛
Cultivar unknown - I didn’t plant it, just been caring for it.

In full pot mode right now. Total revamp on these two - happy accident with the Royal Fern fertile pinnae tips matching the coleus ‘sedona sunset’ foliage 😍
These should fluff out in full force by end of June-ish

All these foxgloves volunteered themselves ☺️
Curious to see what colour the blooms will be!

Bought these tulips on a whim on a hardware trip to home depot last fall - they were supposed to be black, but oh well! I like them before they are in full bloom anyhow

First time using, this is one sophisticated bulb! It should naturalize 🤞🏻 #humilisalbacoreuleaoculata #aheadofthecurve

Running into friends is obviously extra special these days. Reg - a dear friend and inspirational colleague.
This pro photo taken by @scottaugust warrants a post to both my accounts!
This akebia was an overgrown jerk when I started working on this site years ago. After setting wires, it is looking pretty sweet and orderly!

We miss our lil neighbourhood bakery 😔 but for now, we can all enjoy these Easter appropriate tulips. Taking in people’s budding gardens on evening walks has become a new treat.

I don’t hate pieris, but I don’t love em. But I DO love how these colours look like they’re straight out of a 70’s gardener’s mag’
Enjoy the weekend self isolators!!!

The Vancouver Convention Centre is planning to act as a medical treatment facility if needed - thank you @vanconventions !! I miss this view because it comes from my dear family’s place 😔
Does anyone know what landscape firm is responsible for this greenroof? 💚

Great carpet of blue eyed mary (new to me) in the background. Thanks @andoplants for the id in a recent post!
